I.1 Elmcrest Avenue and East Cedar Street Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Hugo and the City of Lino Lakes At its January 22, 2019, Goal Setting Session, Council discussed the need to work with the City of Lion Lakes on the paving of Elmcrest Avenue and East Cedar Street in Lino Lakes. Staff from both Cities have been meeting to discuss the potential of a joint project to address concerns raised by residents over the years regarding the condition of the gravel sections of Elmcrest Avenue and East Cedar Street. Hugo Public works applies calcium chloride and grades the roadways, however the higher traffic volumes on these roadways result in deteriorated and dusty roadway conditions. On February 5th, Hugo staff and Mayor Weidt had met with Lino Lakes staff (Mayor Reinert was unable to attend due to weather conditions). Discussion regarding a joint project and how the project could move forward took place. Staff from both Lino Lakes and Hugo felt it was important that both projects move forward concurrently and that economies of scale would provide efficiencies resulting in lower project costs. The City of Lino Lakes and the City of Hugo prepared a Joint Powers Agreement for your consideration which is included in the council packet. Lino Lakes approved the agreement at its March 11, 2019 City Council meeting. Staff recommends Council approve the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Lino Lakes.
