I I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: February 9, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent ~ SUBJECT: Resolution #96-06, Highway 96 I Backl!Tound I The City Council had previously reviewed Resolution #96-06 supporting the reconstruction of Highway 96 and recommending certain design changes to Ramsey County. After discussing the Resolution with Mr. Tolaas, the Project Engineer from Ramsey County, he asked that the City I reword portions of the Resolution to assist his efforts in getting the necessary permits and funding applications approved. I Specifically, staff clarified its support of the Concept Study through the language in the first BE IT RESOLVED statement. However, staff wanted to clearly express the concerns for the project and did so as part of the next section. Other changes made to the Resolution are simply . grammatical. There are still two other issues staff and Ramsey County disagree on. I Issues Item 6 Staff is uncomfortable leaving the storm sewer costs unfixed and has asked that the County be responsible for anything over the estimated $272,500. Ramsey I County states this is not possible and requests additional revisions with this item. Item 7 Staff believes the Arden Hills segments should be scheduled for construction I during 1997 and 1998. It seems natural to start at the busiest end of the roadway and continue east rather than doing a piecemeal construction project. Also, Arden Hills wauts to be sure to get their share of Turnback Funds, while the money is I still available, and feels' a need for the Round Lake Road access to be completed as soon as possible. I Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the modified Resolution #96-06, Supporting the Highway 96 I Reconstruction Concept Study. This Resolution would then be forwarded to the Ramsey County Project Engineer. I I. I
