ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—AUGUST 12, 2024 7 <br /> Mayor Grant directed Council to discuss what is justifiable going into a bonding session. It's not <br /> about funding favorite projects. The goal is to get some funding relief for the City. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked about the Met Council Highway 10 project. She wondered if it <br /> was for the complete strip. She thought an option would be to go to the DNR grant, or other state <br /> bonding where we could get the boardwalk. She wondered how much money was received from <br /> Met Council. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen updated that the Met Council Regional <br /> Solicitation Grant received initial recommendation from the Transportation Advisory Board <br /> which was $1 million. That is set to be approved by Met Council on August 281'. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen said Council directed staff to pursue the <br /> MNDOT Safe Routes to School Grant. Staff met with MNDOT last week and got really good <br /> feedback. The City was edged out by tougher competition. They were trying to spread the money <br /> around and the Safe Routes to School funds received for the Mounds View High School Trail <br /> may have played into the decision. They suggested that we resubmit this fall, as an additional $1 <br /> million in grants is available. This would push the construction year from 2025 to 2026. Ramsey <br /> County indicated they will be putting additional money towards that project but we won't know <br /> the amount until the TIP comes out in November. We can look into a DNR grant or something <br /> more specific for the boardwalk site. He can look into any grant options Council makes him <br /> aware of. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked what the total cost of the project is. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen estimate for total project cost was $4.1 <br /> million. <br /> Councilmember Holden said the design is complete so that cost won't be recouped. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He said at this point we're <br /> looking for$3.8 million or$3.9 million. <br /> Councilmember Holden calculated we would be short $2 million. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He stated we would pursue <br /> the MNDOT grant this fall. He believed the application is due in November with the decision <br /> being made in February. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if Rice Creek Watershed would give anything for a boardwalk. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen replied that they could but they have a <br /> max pot of$300,000, with only $100,000 maximum being given per applicant. <br /> Mayor Grant asked how long we have to use the Met Council grant. <br /> Public Works Director and City Engineer Swearingen believed it is 2028 or 2029 and he will <br /> verify that. <br />
