GOAL AREA AND OBJECTIVE: High-Value City Services 1. Establish financial stability for all funds DISCUSSION: Introduction The purpose of this item is to make a request to MNDOT for the advancement of Municipal State Aid Funds. Current Circumstances We currently have two projects (consisting of 5 MSA routes) under construction or close to construction that are proposd to be funded with Municipal State Aid funds. The MSA routes include: Duluth and Village Lake Drive (210-101-005); Village Lake Drive to Toronto Avenue (201-113-004); South of Toronto Avenue to South of Village Lake Drive (201-122-002); TH13 to CSAH21 (201-101-006); and Arcadia Avenue Design (201-130-002). The proposed MSA funding for these projects is in excess of ths City’s available account balance as of February 20, 2019. Minnesota State Statues 162.14, Subdivision 6 allows for city’s to advance funds from the State Aid Construction Account. Conclusion It is recommended that the City request $617,590.79 in advancements from the State Aid Construction for 2019 Projects. ISSUES: Municipal State Funds are administered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The funds are limited to use on streets meeting state aid standards. The program is administered so that those municipalities which show a greater “need” generally receive greater funding. The only impact of advancing funds is the fact that future year allocations may be reduced. Prior Lake has successfully received advancements over the years. FINANCIAL IMPACT: If the City Council decides not to make a request for advancement or if the City is unsuccessful in securing advancement funds, Reconstruction Bonds would be adjusted for these projects accordingly. The current State Aid balance is $1,493,506.32. Prior Lake’s annual allotment is received in January of each year and fluctuates slightly each year. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second to adopt a resolution as part of the consent agenda requesting the advancement of State Aid Funds. 2. Motion and second to remove the resolution from the consent agenda for additional discussion.
