Mr . Thomas Burt

Dear Mr . Burt :
A meeting was held September 9 at the Shoreview Community Center
to discuss progress on functional consolidation of roadways in
Ramsey County. Eleven municipalities were represented at the
meeting .
One item discussed concerned the upcoming presentation Steve
Gatlin will make to the Municipal State Aid (MSA) Screening
Committee on October 28 , 1992 . It is important to define and
• present a unified municipal position to the screening committee .
Accordingly, we are requesting that each municipality pass a
resolution similar to the one enclosed. For those municipalities
which are eligible for MSA funds , the resolution requests an
increase in MSA mileage and waver of MSA penalty provisions . For
those municipalities which are not eligible for MSA funds , the
resolution requests legislation providing for an annual
appropriation of $100 , 000 to offset additional costs incurred
within those jurisdictions .
Please present this issue to your council ( board) for action prior
to Steve ' s screening committee presentation . If you need
technical assistance concerning MSA mileage or related factors ,
or would like a County representative to attend your council
( board ) meeting, call Jim Tolaas or Tim Mayasich at 266-2608 and
482-5207 , respectively.
Sincerel.,
Paul L. Kirkwold, P . E .
