Each year, the City receives an allocation based 50% upon its population <br />and 50% upon the construction Needs of its roadways. To receive funding, the City can designate <br />up to 20% of its local streets to receive MSAS funding. The City has a total of 22.10 miles eligible <br />to designate. <br />Per State Aid Rules, a City is allowed to add and/or remove mileage annually, provided it meets <br />necessary criteria, if a letter request is submitted. If the proposed route is accepted by the State <br />Aid office, a formal council resolution adding it to the system is required prior to May 1 st. <br />In an effort to maximize the construction Needs of Hugo's MSAS system and with the goal of <br />strategically using the annual available allotment of State Aid funds to the City, we are <br />recommending the following modifications to the system (illustration attached): <br />• Revocation of Rosemary Way from Elmcrest Ave N to Victor Hugo Blvd <br />o Segment Length: 0.13 miles <br />• Addition of Everton Ave N from Frenchman Rd (CR 8) to 142nd St N <br />o Segment Length: 0.45 miles <br />• Addition of 142nd St N from Everton Ave N to Oneka Pkwy <br />o Segment Length: 0.09 miles <br />• Addition of Oneka Pkwy from 142nd St N to Frenchman Rd (CR 8) <br />o Segment Length: 0.41 miles <br />While the annual allotment that Hugo will receive from State Aid will fluctuate each year based on <br />gas -tax revenues received by the State, and by relative apportionments for population and the <br />Needs of all State Aid cities throughout the State, the proposed revisions are anticipated to result <br />in the City maximizing its available designation mileage, which will in turn maximize the State Aid <br />Needs dollars that are allocated to the City. It should be noted that, year to year, there is no <br />guarantee that the annual allotment received by any city will increase. <br />MnDOT State Aid staff approved the requested proposed revisions on March 8, 2019. The City <br />Council must now pass a formal resolution to finalize the proposed routes and submit that <br />resolution to MnDOT's State Aid office prior to May 1, 2019. This will be used in the calculation <br />for our 2020 allotment. It is the City Engineer's recommendation that City Council approve the <br />attached resolution and direct staff to submit per MnDOT requirements. <br />If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to contact me at 651-286-8463. <br />GAGroup Data\Municipal\Clients - Cities - Counties\Hugo\State Aid\Annual Reports\2018\Route Revisions\Hugo Route Revisions Memo To City.docx <br />
