Additional data collection would be 86 necessary to develop a feasibility report level cost for this project. 87 Moving ahead with the construction on this segment of County Road C -2 would need to be 88 programmed into the City's 5 year Street Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This plan is 89 reviewed annually, and currently has MSA street segments identified for construction that will 90 spend our annual allocation. The City's MSA annual construction allocation is approximately 91 $825,000/ year. These dollars are used to fund projects on City MSA Streets as well as the 92 City's cost share on County and State Projects. What follows is a summary of the projects 93 programmed over the next 5 years.

Our MSA 95 construction allocation for the next 5 years is estimated at $4,125,000. The CIP costs identified 96 above are planning level estimates and do not take into account other funding sources. 97 Reconstruction projects would have a portion of the costs funded through assessments. 98 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 99 At the August 8, 2011 public hearing, staff provided the following recommendation to the City loo Council: The traffic studies that were conducted indicate that the County Road C -2 connection 1 o1 is not necessary at this time. However, the City should preserve the ability to construct the 102 connection in the future, the right- of- way should remain public. This recommendation remains Page 3 of 4
