EDA Meeting#43 September 8, 1997 Page 2 enters into a funding cycle where they put together cooperative agreements from communities on funding for road improvements and signalizations. That application is due on October 31st and they will require some information from Mounds View in order to review the signalization and road alignment. They have indicated that they would potentially be willing to fund 50%of the signal. To continue the process,SEH is recommending that the following work be done: -a Signal Justification Report; -a preliminary Road Alignment Plan;and -a Cooperative Agreement Program for MNDOT to enter into the funding. Commissioner Stigney stated he feels if the city has a proposed plan,it would be appropriate to let the residents know what is going on and obtain their input. Ms.Bennett explained that if the city waits,they will not be able to get into the funding cycle with MNDOT and could lose the possibility of having 50%of the signal funded. She noted that the city can go through the community process and make modifications in the design between October and May of 1998 but the information must be in to MNDOT for the Cooperative Agreement cycle by October 31, 1997. Commissioner Stigney stated,as proposed,he cannot support this and is opposed to approving a preliminary road alignment plan. III Mayor McCarty explained that it is very clear that the city is at a very preliminary stage and that they are not even close to being prepared to present anything to the residents. Ms.Bennett noted that in October a formal resolution will need to be passed by the EDA and sent to MNDOT. Once they go through their funding cycle,they would need to come back to the city in the Spring of 1998 to obtain approval of two additional steps. Mayor McCarty noted that the city will eventually have something that they can offer to the residents that they can address based upon facts.
