CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 2018
AGENDA #: 5H
PREPARED BY: JASON WEDEL, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
PRESENTED BY: JASON WEDEL
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE STATE OF MINNESOTA RELATED TO THE ACCEPTANCE
OF FEDERAL FUNDS
DISCUSSION: Introduction
Under State Statute 161.36, the State Commissioner of Transportation is
authorized to accept federal funds for Minnesota transportation projects.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the State of Minnesota to act as the
City’s agent in accepting federal funds.
History
In 2014, the City of Prior Lake entered into agreement number 99949 with
the State of Minnesota to allow MnDOT to act on the City’s behalf to
receive federal funds.
Current Circumstances
A new agreement has been prepared by MnDOT which will supersede the
prior agreement. A resolution is required by MnDOT to affirm the signature
of the Mayor and City Manager related to agreement 1029991.
All Counties and Minnesota Cities are required to sign this agreement in
order to received federal funding.
Conclusion
While no current City projects are proposed that would utilize federal
funding, signing this agreement is a housekeeping step that would facilitate
the use of federal funds for future projects.
ISSUES: Without this agreement the City would be unable to receive federal funds
for projects.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
If a future City project were eligible for federal funding this agreement
would need to be in place to receive those funds. Without this agreement
the City would be required to fund project costs that would have otherwise
been eligible for federal funding.
ALTERNATIVES:
2
1. Approve Resolution 18-XXX as part of the consent agenda
authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement
with the State of Minnesota.
2. Remove this item from the consent agenda for additional
discussion.
