<br />. r <br /> <br />April 27, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />$34,000,000 is appropriated from bond proceeds to the city of Arden Hills <br />for acquisition of right-of-way, predesign, design, and construction of <br />public improvements for the County Road Hand 1-35W interchange and/or <br />for the County Road 96 and State Highway 10 interchange. <br /> <br />Bill Number Two would appropriate the funds from the state general fund, with <br />similar language: <br /> <br />$34,000,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the city of Arden <br />Hills for acquisition of right-of-way, predesign, design, and construction of <br />public improvements for the County Road Hand 1-35W interchange and/or <br />for the County Road 96 and State Highway 10 interchange. <br /> <br />This is suggested language and can be revised based on our further discussions. <br /> <br />Proposed Authors. It is customary for the state legislators who represent the <br />area for which improvements are sought to be the chief authors. Therefore, we would <br />approach State Senator Satveer Chaudahary and State Representative Kate Knuth to <br />be chief authors of these bills, and then request appropriate co-authors in both the <br />House and Senate. <br /> <br />Timinq. The 2007 state legislative session concludes on May 21, 2007. These <br />bills should be introduced prior to the end of session. <br /> <br />II.
