History At its June 21, 2010 meeting the City Council adopted Resolution 10 -059 authorizing staff to prepare a Feasibility Report for the 2011 and 2012 Improvement Project as outlined in the CIP and required for the Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 process. The Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 process is required because the City Council intends to specially assess a portion of the project. The roadways studied in the report include: Boudin Street, Denese Street, Lois Avenue, Natalie Road, Timothy Avenue, Grayling Circle, Rutgers Street, and Watersedge Trail. The reconstruction of these streets is scheduled for construction over a two year period. It is recommended based on the constructability preference that Grayling Circle, Rutgers Street, and Watersedge Trail be constructed in 2011 and the balance of the streets be constructed in 2012. The recommendation of the Feasibility Report was to proceed with this project. On October 4, 2010, Council adopted Resolution 10 -091 accepting the Feasibility Report and calling for a Public Hearing on November 15, 2010 for the 2011 and 2012 Improvement Project. At the November 15, 2010 Public Hearing, a number of people spoke regarding the project. Some of the design elements were changed based on the Public Hearing feedback. In addition to the Public Hearing, the City has held two informational meetings to discuss the project. The last informational meeting was an open house held on February 2, 2011 and offered residents the opportunity to comment on the proposed plans. At the open house persons from 33 homes were represented. City Staff explained the proposed design and took down names for those that were interested in the various programs available. Since the open house, City Staff has been busy finalizing the design. Current Circumstances The project includes storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main, concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, bituminous surfacing, and appurtenant work. The construction of this project is proposed to be funded through special assessments, tax levy, Water Quality Fund, and the Trunk Sewer and Water Fund. At this point the project design is complete and it is appropriate to seek City Council approval of the plans and specifications and authority to advertise for bids. A copy of the plans and specifications is available in the Engineering Department for review. Once the bids are received, City Staff will present the bids to the City Council for award. If the bids received are higher than expected, the City Council can elect not to move forward with awarding a contract and reject the bids. ISSUES: Sidewalk Sidewalk has been removed from the project based on feedback from residents and City Council direction. Driveway Reconstruction and Lake Friendly Programs The driveway reconstruction program and voluntary "lake friendly programs" are proposed with this project. FINANCIAL The table below shows the funding of this project. The numbers provided IMPACT: were prepared during the Feasibility Report.
