MEETING DATE: JANUARY 21, 2020
AGENDA #: 5M
PREPARED BY: ANDY BROTZLER, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
PRESENTED BY: ANDY BROTZLER
AGENDA ITEM:
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 20-018 - AUTHORIZING A SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE AGREEMENT WITH SCOTT COUNTY FOR THE PARTICIPATION IN
THE TRUNK HIGHWAY 169 TRANSITWAY STUDY AND THE CITY’S
DOWNTOWN TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS
GOAL AREA AND
OBJECTIVE:
Transportation & Mobility
1. Focus on key corridors that take advantage of collaboration with
state and county projects.
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to
execute a second amendment to the Scott County Agreement for Participation in
the Trunk Highway 169 Transitway Study and the City’s downtown transit
improvements. The second amendment extends the date for commencement of
construction improvements for the Colorado Street public parking lot from 2020 to
2021 to better coincide with anticipated redevelopment activities.
History
The City and County entered into an agreement authorized by the County Board
on December 16, 2014 for cost participation in the Trunk Highway 169 Transitway
and downtown transit improvements on the City of Prior Lake. This agreement
was put in place as part of the series of agreements with the Blue Express (Cities
of Prior Lake and Shakopee transit) joining the Minnesota Valley Joint Powers
Board to provide transit services.
As part of the agreement, the City deposited transit reserve funds in the amount of
$160,000 with the County for the 169 Transitway Study and future downtown
transit improvements in the City of Prior Lake. The downtown transit
improvements were envisioned as the possible rehabilitation of an existing city
parking lot on the south side of Colorado Street between Main Avenue and
Arcadia Avenue.
Current Circumstances
On May 15, 2018, the County Board approved Resolution No. 2018—88 to extend
the agreement to 2020. Due to ongoing State and County projects on Trunk
Highway 13 and County Road 21, and a potential private development on the
adjacent property, the City desires to wait until 2021 to complete the parking lot
rehabilitation to avoid interference. The existing agreement stated the downtown
transit improvements are to begin construction by the end of 2020 or the funds
would be provided to Minnesota Valley Transit Authority(MVTA). This amendment
extends the date for commencement of construction from 2020 to 2021.
