COUNCIL WORK SESSION March 10, 1986 A work session of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order by Mayor Benson at 6:07 P.M., Monday, March 10, 1986. Councilmembers present: Marier, Bisel, Bohjanen. Mr. Reinert arrived a few minutes later. City Administrator, Randy Schumacher; Engineer, Bob Toddie; Public Works Director, Don Volk and Clerk- Treasurer, Marilyn Anderson were also present. Mayor Benson explained this meeting is a follow -up to a Council work session held February 24, 1986 regarding a funding policy for 4th Avenue. Mr. Toddie presented the Council some written material he had prepared regarding costs of the project and also materials on examples of two different types of funding for paving and two different methods of funding for storm sewer. He' also indicated there are 9675 LF of assessable frontage. Mr. Toddie explained the street replacement portion of the project is all eligible for MSA funding. However, the Council can determine a policy in which the benefited landowners share in this cost. He explained two methods by which the paving in the project could be shared by the property owners. One method was a straight assessment per front foot and the second method was by a partial assessment. 1 Mr. Toddie explained that approximately $49,245.00 of the storm sewer portion of the project is not eligible for MSA funding. He has deter- mined that Nelson Properties is liable for about $25,000.00 of these costs because they will not be required to do some ponding and drain- age within the plat Sherwood Green. He has also estimated $12,000 as the City costs for clearing County Ditch #22. He also explained the costs for cleaning Ditch #22 are only an estimate at this time and also Rice Creek Watershed District has not committed themselves to funding a portion of the ditch repair. He will be getting further information on this later in the week. This means the City must deter- mine a funding policy for approximately $36,245.00 of storm sewer costs. Mayor Benson asked if Mr. Toddie has determined if other areas would be benefited, possibly even in other cities. Mr. Toddie said no. Mr. Marier said his recollection is that this project started as a project to determine how to get water moving along 4th Avenue and through the LeBlond property to Ditch #22. He asked how this has become a $475,000.00 project. Mr. Toddie explained what would be required to move the water most effectivly and the costs involved. He said Mr. LeBlond will grant an easement for a storm pipe and not for a ditch. The pipe for this area represents the major costs of the storm sewer portion of the project. 1
