ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—January 11, 2010 19 <br /> 7.C. Withdraw the City's Application from the Municipal Agreement Program and <br /> Direct Staff to Continue to Work with Mn/DOT to Pursue a Bridge Improvement <br /> Project at County Road E/TH Sl that Includes Pedestrian Accommodations <br /> (continued) <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked if this project was definitely going to happen in <br /> 2015 with Mn/DOT. <br /> Mr. Goess stated at this time it is not 100% guaranteed. The process to put this <br /> bridge on the schedule has just been started. <br /> Councilmember McClung asked who would make the decision about including <br /> this project. <br /> Mr. Goess stated Metro will make the decision because the money is allocated to <br /> Metro through their bridge replacement program. <br /> Councilmember Grant stated this bridge is important to the City and its residents. <br /> He asked why the City did not move forward with Option 4 at this time and use <br /> Option 3 as a fall back option. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if MSA money could be used for this bridge. <br /> Civil Engineer Giga stated this was a project that had been identified where the <br /> City could use State Aid money. <br /> Mayor Harpstead asked if State Aid was used if these funds would be reimbursed <br /> back to the City. <br /> Councilmember Holmes asked Mr. Goess if he is not recommending to continue <br /> with Option 1 at this time. <br /> Mr. Goess stated his thoughts only, not those of Mn/DOT, would be to withdraw <br /> the municipal application at this time. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Major Harustead seconded a <br /> motion to approve the Withdrawal of the City's Application from <br /> the Municipal Agreement Program and Direct Staff to Continue to <br /> Work with Mn/DOT to Pursue a Bride Improvement Project at <br /> County Road E/TH 51 that Includes Pedestrian Accommodations <br />
