Motion to Approve Resolution Requesting Funding from MN/DOT Through the Metro <br />Metro Municipal Agreement Program for Intersection Improvements to County Road H at <br />Interstate Highway 35W. <br /> <br />Ms. Wolfe stated that City staff is requesting that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 07-65 <br />requesting funding from Mn/DOT through the Metro Municipal Agreement Program for <br />intersection improvements to County Road H and Interstate 35W. Staffs recommendation is to <br />apply for funding for the County Road Hand I-35W project. The application is due September <br />14,2007 as reported by Public Works Director Hoag. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the design for County Road H could be independently built <br />and designed without the Highway 10 and 96 project. Public Works Director Hoag stated it is <br />not contingent on the Highway 10 and 96 project. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />motion to approve the Resolution Requesting Funding from MN/DOT <br />through the Metro Municipal Agreement Program for Intersection <br />Improvements to County Road H at Interstate Highway 35W as presented. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned the last "now therefore" paragraph and questioned if that <br />was related to funding. Public Works Director Hoag stated this project is based on many <br />funding sources. If the grant was received and the other funding sources are not secured the grant <br />could be returned and the project would not need to be completed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the request can be brought forward year after year. Ms. Wolfe <br />stated she believes there is a time limit. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung asked if staff had an update on the status of the federal funds. Ms. <br />Wolfe stated at this stage it is very preliminary but is being considered for 2009 federal <br />transportation authorization. Councilmember McClung stated then we may be looking at 2010 <br />authorization and may be "jumping the gun" with the state program prematurely. Ms. Wolfe <br /> <br />
