<br />, <br /> <br />Memo to Mayor and Council <br />March 25, 2003 <br />Page 2 of3 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br /> <br />ItemlDescription <br /> <br />Estimated <br />Expenditure <br /> <br />Proposed <br />Fund <br /> <br />96 Reconstruction Costs <br />Revised <br />2003 <br />Estimated <br />Ending Fund <br />Balance <br /> <br />2003 <br />Estimated <br />Ending Fund <br />Balance <br /> <br />Watermain Upgrade to 12" line <br /> <br />between Hamline and Snelling $149,094 <br />and 12" Watermain Stub at <br />Snellin Avenue <br />Emer en Vehicle Preem Iion- <br />Trail on north side of Highway <br />96 between Hamline Avenue and <br />Arm Reserve ro line. 1 <br />Trail on the south side of <br />Hi hw 961 <br /> <br />TOTAL: $247,422 <br />1. This sidewalk is proposed 10 be bituminous with a 75/25 cost split between the County and the City. lbis <br />includes a railing for the sloped area between City HaIl and HamIine adjacent to the wetland <br />2. Originally, it was indicated that this sidewalk would be installed at 100% of the County's expense. However, <br />the County is using state turnback funding for the project. In the process of reviewing the project for state <br />funding eligibility, MNDOT has indicated that it will not pay for this segment of trail. While they have funded <br />these improvements in the past, with the state budget situation their standards have been "tightened." As such, <br />if the City is interested in having a trail on the south side of Highway 96, it will be necessary to pay for a <br />portion of the costs. Ramsey County Parks will be able to contribute approximately $45,000. The balance <br />would need to be paid for with a 75/25 cost split between the County and the.City. <br />3. Staff is suggesting that MSA construction funds be used for the emergency vehicle preemption and trail costs. <br />MSA construction funds are recognized in Fund 409 - Non-assessable Road Improvements. As such, there will <br />be additional revenue to offset the expenditure resulting in no net change in fund balance. <br /> <br />Fund 601 - <br />Water <br /> <br />$1,386,641 <br /> <br />$1,237,547 <br /> <br />$12,000 <br /> <br />$35,649 <br /> <br />Fund 409 - <br />Non- <br />Assessable <br />Road <br />Improvements <br /> <br />$1,586,632 <br /> <br />$1,586,6323 <br /> <br />$50,679 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />There is currently $995,373 in the City's MSA construction account. We have earmarked <br />approximately $630,000 for MSA roads within this year's pavement management projects. <br />Accordingly, our MSA construction account can accommodate, and staff would recommend that <br />MSA construction funds be used for eligible costs (emergency vehicle preemption and trail <br />expenses). <br /> <br />Assuming the Council approves the use of MSA construction funds for Highway 96 project <br />expenses, our MSA construction account would have an estimated balance of $267,045 after <br />2003. For reference, our apportionment of 2003 MSA construction dollars was $189,863. <br />Further, the next pavement management project in the 5 year CIP that will likely use MSA <br />construction dollars is the reconstruction of Red Fox/Grey Fox commercial area in 2006. Since . <br />this area is commercial, over 75% of the project will be assessed. While there was in the past, <br />there is currently no maximum accumulation of state aid funds. <br />
