15y City Council meeting of 12/1/87 Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to appoint Bob Ellman to serve on the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals. All aye. Motion Carried. 7.3 120TH STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Over a period of the last two years, the City of Hugo has discussed a proposal to participate in the improvement of 120th Street from Highway 61 to a point approximately one mile east. In 1985, the city indicated they may be willing to participate if Ramsey County would finance the city's share of the project over a specified period of time. This project did not move forward at the time because of White Hear Township's failure to work out an agreement that was acceptable to all parties. As a result of recent negotiations between the city, White Bear Township, and Ramsey County, the City Council discussed this matter earlier this year and indicated informally a commitment to participate in this project if acceptable financing arrangements could be worked out. The total estimated cost of the city's participation at that time was $72,600. The total estimated project cost is $530,300 with 75% of the project to be funded by Ramsey County from their FAS account and the balance being funded as a local share by White Bear Township and the City of Hugo. The total assessable front footage of the improvement is 10,743 feet with approximately 3,251 feet of assessable frontage in the City of Hugo. Using a front footage benefit formula, the city's participation would be for approximately 30.2% of the local share. White Bear Township has reiterated its interest in financing the city's share of this cost subject to agreeing on a repayment schedule acceptable to both the city and township. For this project to move forward utilizing federal aid secondary participation by Ramsey County, the city must make a formal commitment to participate in said project. A resolution has been prepared outlining our previous discussions and indicating the conditions of participation by the city if this project is to proceed. Potts made motion, Olson seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1987-66, RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN 120TH STREET PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
