Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for September 16, 2013 Page 4 of 7 Wayne began by providing an overview of the CSAH 7 project, which involves full depth reclaimation of the pavement, repair of signs and placement of swing arm mailboxes. This is a 2.6 million dollar project, and County Aid from the gas tax would pay for 1.1 million and the remaining 1.5 million would be paid with by federal funding. Work was to begin September 10th and be completed by November 1 st When the CSAH 8 project was done in 2010, approximately 450' of pavement was left out of the project where the street connects to CSAH 7 at a 45 degree angle. The realignment of this was discussed at that time and Wayne stated that it was mutually agreed that it would be constructed as a separate project. It was not included in the CSAH 7 project because it needed to be shovel - ready to qualify for the federal funding. Wayne showed five options for the realignment with cost ranging from $160,000 to $450,000, and he reviewed the pros and cons for each. Wayne stated that the acquisition of the right-of-way for the project would be the responsibility of the City because it cannot be added to the scope of a federal funded project. One option discussed was to repave and restripe the road now, and evaluate options and costs for a future project in 2017, according to Wayne. Haas questioned why it would take so long, saying the County had stated in 2010 that they would be realigning this road as part of the CSAH 7 project. Haas stated that the property owner was a willing seller in 2010. Council Member Klein suggested acquiring the property where the home was at the northwest corner to see if they would be willing to sell. He also said a roundabout could also be considered for this intersection. The Council generally agreed all options needed to be evaluated. Weidt made motion, Petryk seconded, to direct the County to repair and restripe CSAH8, evaluate other options and bring back to Council a timetable and plan that will be shovel -ready. All Ayes. Motion carried. Discussion on 2014 Street Proiects The City has invested in a number of roadway capital improvements based on the City's Pavement Management Plan. The projects have been supported within the individual neighborhoods due to strong collaboration between the residents and the City Council and staff, and have been successful. City Engineer Jay Kennedy reviewed the current roadway Capital Improvement priorities with the Council, specifically the top three which include in this order of importance: streets in the Rice Lake Development, 147th Street/Oneka Lake Boulevard, and 165' Street/Ingersoll Avenue. Petryk made motion, Haas seconded, to move forward with the 165th Street/Ingersoll Avenue street project by scheduling a neighborhood meeting. All Ayes. Motion carried.
