UPDATE ON COUNTY ROAD TIlRNBACKS AND COUNTY ROAD F Winkel reported that staff attended a meeting with Ramsey County officials on July 20, 1994, to discuss road tnmback options. There are four options available to be used for any given street. Previous to this meeting Option No, 2 has been approved by the Board of County Commissioners. The City has received an update from the County on its proposal to finance County Road F reconstruction. There is a new bill by the Legislature that was passed which allows the municipality to put up to 20% of state aid streets and County will provide money for repair of the streets. It allows the City to enter all of the County turnback streets on the MSA system above and beyond the 20% limit. Depending on how much activity there is in the next ten years, the City could potentially have between 10 and 12 miles of streets on the MSA system. That will increase the City's annual allotment for consttuction and maintenance fees, which will allow more work to be done on other streets. Winkel suggested that the viable option for County Road F is Option No.2, where the County would look at a reconstruction program and give the City its percentage of the cost, which is now $408,000 compared to the $168,000 the County was willing to contribute previously. The idea still needs further research and verification before negotiating with the . County for turnback roads. Winkel stated that the County Road F reconstruction is a top priority and that staff will continue to gather information regarding the turnback from the County to the City.
