The StaCe through gasoline and license plate fees Collects funds each yeaz to bring this system up ta standard and a1l.ocates monies to co�nmunities for such improve�nents. In the past few years, almosti no impxovementa have beer� made to the MSA s;�stem and numerous roadways are in need af work. Considerable funds have been alloca�ed to the ci.ty over these years and thi.s unused alZocaCian will he 1� million dollars by the end of 1978, unless roadway improvements take place this year. This large fund 1eve1 re- su1CS in the State pettalizing the city;,be�ause the intent o�' the a�- locatian is to do the work, rather than leave the needs unmet. For 1978 this pena�,ty, together with past practices of spending MSA funds on other roadways, results in a loss o£ approxima�e�y $28,OQQ to Roseville. These roadway5 on the MSA system nor�nally cazry higher volum�s af traffic than the typical res�.dential street anci, therefore, are.of a broader, city-wi.de imporiance. As such, the residents along tlnese roadways have i.nconveni.ences associ.ated with this heavier traffi.c volume. It, theze£are, would seem appropriate that special con� siderati.on be give.n to such MSA roadways and eounCy roads by reduc- ing the assessments £ar roadway impraverr�ents. The city current�y has a policy of assessing such people an amount that is ec�ual to the cost of a.typi.cal resi.den�ial.street. Last year, this was in the area of $7.Od per fxont foot. �he accompanyir�g reso- lution would amend this specia� assessment policy so that the single family and duplex owners woul.d no longer be assessed for the roadway impravemer�ts aiong the NI,SA and cotinty roads. RECQMt4ENDED ACTION: Adopt�vn of a resolution amending the city's special assessment policy to eliminate pavi.ng assessments for certain properties along MSA and county roadways.
