CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MAY 21, 2018
AGENDA #: 5G
PREPARED BY: JASON WEDEL, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
PRESENTED BY: JASON WEDEL
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) TRANSITION PLAN FOR
THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The City of Prior Lake is required, under Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) to perform a self-evaluation of its current
transportation infrastructure policies, practices, and programs. This self-
evaluation identified what policies and practices impact accessibility and
examined how the City implements these policies.
The purpose of this agenda report is to consider adoption of the ADA
Transition Plan for the City of Prior Lake.
History
On September 18, 2017 City Council approved the selection of
Stonebrooke Engineering to complete a comprehensive ADA Transition
Plan. The city is required to have an ADA Transition plan under the law.
The City had started assembling inventory of all existing facilities to which
a transition plan would apply utilizing the City’s GIS mapping and aerial
photos and has been working with Stonebrooke Engineering to provide a
complete inventory of the City’s facilities.
As part of the ADA Transition Plan, a requirement was to present the plan
at a public meeting. The plan was therefore presented at the regular City
Council meeting on April 2, 2018. Feedback provided by the City Council
has since been incorporated into the final plan.
Current Circumstances
The purpose of the study was to develop a Citywide ADA Transition Plan to
incorporate all necessary elements required to ensure compliance with
current ADA regulations. All facilities were studied so that the City can
identify existing obstacles and barriers with City road rights-of-way and can
develop a plan for necessary upgrades.
The plan has since been updated based on the feedback received at the
public presentation. The next step is to formally adopt the plan.

Conclusion
All of the required steps necessary, as outlined per ADA regulations, for
preparation of an ADA Transition Plan are now complete. It is therefore
appropriate for the City Council to consider formal adoption of the plan.
ISSUES: This is the final step in formal adoption of the ADA Transition Plan. No
issues were raised by the public during the public hearing.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The proposed improvements identified in the ADA Transition Plan are
proposed to be implemented as part of the City’s annual street
reconstruction and mill & overlay programs. Consistent with current
practice, as streets are reconstructed or receive a mill & overlay ADA
improvements will be included to bring the City’s pedestrian facilities into
compliance with ADA requirements. The cost for these improvements are
incorporated into the total project cost and budgeted for accordingly.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second to adopt the resolution approving adoption of
the ADA Transition Plan.
2. Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda for
additional discussion.
