Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for September 18, 2017 Page 5 of 7 borings, and surveying. Erichson recommended that a neighborhood meeting be scheduled for October 19, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. in the Rice Lake Center. Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to identify the Oneka Lake Boulevard/Harrow Avenue project as the 2018 Roadway Improvement Project and authorize staff to begin preliminary work as necessary, All Ayes. Motion carried. Discussion on 130" Street North Street Improvements City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the 130th Street project is one they would like to initiate and begin preliminary work on. The project area is between TH61 and Goodview Avenue. This is the area of the Adelaide Landing Development and is to coincide with development. Now that Adelaide has approval, the development agreement identifies the developer to pay 44% of the street project with 1/3 due with each of the first three phases, with a total cost of $1,566,520. The Beaver Ponds Development had previously contributed funds towards these improvements, and there would be no assessments. Erichson talked about the project design which included a roundabout and pedestrian trail. It is tentatively a 2019 project, but Erichson explained they would like to start working with the property owners and coordinate improvements that are part of the adjacent development. This would push some CIP projects back one year, but he saw value in starting this process early. He asked for Council approval to evaluate designs, work with the development team, and complete the wetland delineation and soil borings. The Council talked about the need to get the proje q on ; evaluate the 130th Street/TH61 intersection, and consider the heavy equipment on 1 th Street as part of the development work to avoid tearing up a new road.

Motion carried. 4n Discussion on Forest Road Bridp_e City Engineer Mark Erichson discussed with Council the Forest Road Bridge that spans over JD2 on the west side of TH 61. In 2016, the bridge was inspected, which led to the removal of accumulated class 5 aggregate surfacing on the bridge and weight restriction postings (lower than the weight of our motor grader). There are no records or bridge plans for this structure; therefore, assumptions based on the typical construction materials and design at that time were made to determine its load carrying capacity. The bridge is a single span concrete slab bridge that was built in 1920 with substandard elements (17 -ft wide, approaches, lack of barrier etc.). There are approximately 60 vehicle trips over the bridge per day. Erichson provided options for improvement to the bridge with included replacement with a concrete slab bridge, box culvert, or beam bridge. Erichson stated the project cost was estimated at $600,000 and can fit into the CIP without affecting future project schedules. The City could seek bridge bonding funds, but plans needed to be developed first.
