HomeMy WebLinkAbout4H - County State Aid Highways STAFF AGENDA REPORT AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: 4H GREG ILKKA, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR I CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 97 -XX, PARTIAL CONCURRENCE WITH SCOTT COUNTY RESOLUTION 97120, REVOKING COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAY NO. 39; AND DESIGNATING PORTIONS OF COUNTY STATE AID HIGHWAYS NO. 21, 42,82, AND 83 DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1997 INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this Agenda item is to consider approval of a resolution of partial concurrence with Scott County resolution 97120 which revokes County State Aid designation from CSAH 39 (Franklin Trail) and designates portions of County Roads 21, 42, 82, and 83 as County State Aid Highways. Concurrence by the City is required by state statute in order for the County to designate, abandon, change, or revoke a County State Aid Highway within a municipality. The resolution is partial concurrence because the recommendation is to approve the designations and disapprove the revocation of CSAH 39. BACKGROUND: Scott County has recently gone through a review of their entire roadway system to determine which roadways should be what type of roadway and under who's jurisdiction. The proposed County Road turnbacks the Council has previously discussed was one result of this review. In the process of their review the County also received permission from the State to add approximately 38 miles of roadway to their County State Aid System. The state aid system is comprised of those streets and highways under local (vs. state) jurisdiction that are eligible for funding from the state gasoline tax. The state gas tax is constitutionally distributed 62% to the state trunk highway fund, 29% to the county state aid fund, and 9% to the 162(}{f~!!fgt@!:Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

In turn, each county and each municipality over 5000 population receive an allocation of state aid funds based on a formula. In the case of the county the allocation is proportional to the number of miles of county state aid it has designated. As in Prior Lake, county highways are either state aid and eligible for construction and maintenance funded in whole or in part with state aid money, or they are funded with local property tax dollars. The additional mileage to the County's state aid system is a significant accomplishment. For many years the total county state aid system statewide was capped at 30,000 miles and additions were miserly approved by the County State Aid Screening Board. The rules were recently changed removing that cap and a number of metro counties have been successful in getting additions of this size approved for their systems. DISCUSSION: The County wishes to designate and add to their state aid system portions of County Roads 21, 42, 82, and 83, described as follows: 1. A non-existent piece of County 21 from its northerly terminus at CSAH 42, north and northeasterly to intersect with new CSAH 18. Although it is non-existent, this is eligible for designation as a County State Aid Highway in accordance with state aid rules. The City has previously expressed support for completion of this segment of roadway. 2. County Road 42, from CSAH 17 easterly to McKenna Road. This segment is not currently on the state aid system. 3. County Road 82, from CSAH 17 easterly to CSAH 21. 4. County Road 83, from County Road 82 northerly to CSAH 101 (formerly TH 101). These designations will allow the County to annually receive state aid funds for these segments of road and to use state aid funds for construction of these segments in the future. The addition of these segments to the County's state aid system will bring additional state aid dollars into the County. SCSADES.DOC ISSUES: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDA TION: ACTION REQUIRED: SCSADES.DOC The addition of these roadways to the state aid system significantly increases the chances that the County would undertake improvements to these roadways in the future. The Scott County Board in Resolution 97120 also included the revocation of the County State Aid designation from CSAH 39, Franklin Trail. Without City concurrence on this revocation the County cannot revoke the CSAH designation and will not be able to redesignate the 1.21 miles of CSAH from Franklin Trail to another County Road, which is their ultimate goal. Whether this is total leverage to prevent a turnback is unclear. However, for whatever leverage it provides the City in its turnback negotiations with the County, a resolution of concurrence on the CSAH revocation should not be forthcoming from the City until such time as the turnback issue is resolved. The alternatives are: 1. Adopt Resolution 97 -XX concurring with Scott County's designation of portions of County Roads 21,42, 82, and 83 as County State Aid Highways. 2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction. 3. Table this item until some date in the future. Alternative No.1. A motion and second t adopt resolution 97 -XX. ,.--.....
