HE�.D APPROVA�. � �` �I - M#GFt_ R�1;IEWED/RECQr�fMcNDS: The Ramsey County commissioners have for several months been. holding discussi.ons with variQUS suburban communities in itamsey County on the possibility of certain �ainte- nance activiti.es an County roads be�ng dan.e by the suburban authorities rather �han Che County. One such area of ctiscussion involves the sweepzng of County roadways. It has been found through experience that several roadways in Roseville have been swep� only once by the County during the year, and this quite late in th� seasnn. The County daes nok have enough equipment and manpower to currently i.mprove this situation and in iact has been receiv�.ng bids from private sweeping compaaies to improve bath the quality and the quanti�y of this service. Zt was felt thaC perhaps the public might be better served by having t�e municipal agencies take over so�e of these sweepi.ng responsi.bilities on certazn county roads wi�h the caunty reimbursxng the muni.cipalities for thei.r expenses. Meetings were, therefnre, held between the various �municipalities and a basic agreement reacned oi a rate o� �325.00 per mile for providing twice a year sweeping. �his is based�� on last years expenses experienced by the County plus ].itCX�A.S°3 for inflation. Fou�c rnunic�ipaliti.es, North St. Paul, New Brighton, Sti, Anthony and Roseville cur- rentlq were the only agencies with suf�icient manpower and eqt�ipment to attempC such an undertaking at thi:s time. IdenticaZ ag�eecnents are, �herefore, heing se�tC to these �our agencies �aho-currenrZy are interested in thi.s propositi.on to varying d.ebrees and for varyirig amoun�s of roadwaqs. Narth St. Paul` is considering approx- imately 10 miles af roadwaqs, Ne�a Brightan just under �7 �niles, St. Anthony apgroxi- mately '� mzle, and RoseviZl� 7 miles. If this agreement were reached, the County would reimburse the City $2,284.75 on November I, 2R76, z'or sweeping these 7.03 miles o� County raadways. The roadways involved in Rosevi.11e are as £oliows: Roselawa £�o�n i3ale to McCarrons Mc Carrons Bl.vd. No, from Raselawn Co Iiice McCaxxons Blvd. Sb: irom Roselawn to Rice Dale St. from T. H. 36 to So, Qwasso OW2.S80 Blvd. So. irom Dale to Rice Co�nty Road B-2 from Lexington to Ri�e Coun�y Raad b froae Victoria to Lexi.ngtan 0.23 miles 0.87 miles 0.86 miles 1.27 miles 1.30 miies 2.Oa miles 0.50 miies The selection of these roadways and these amounts of mi.leage for a one yeaX trial periad is based on several criteri.a. I. The Rosevi.Zle residents along these roadwaqs �,rouZd recefve a higher degree a� s�rvice than currently exists. 2. Thzs service would be at an earli.er da�e than cou�d be provi.ded by the Cour►ty. 3o These xoadways are basi.caJ.ly similar in nature �o the remai.n.der ai the xoadways currently serviced by the �ity, namely residentiai: �,. The road��ays are only 2 3.anes in width and do not carry haavy traffic volumes thereby malcing them as safe as possible a�d effi.ci.ent upon wh�.ch to work. 5. In several. cases, they are alang or near bodies of water and it is desirable to have these roadways cleaned as soan as poss�ble ta mini.muze pollution affects of pdor raadway sureeping. 6. With the acquisitian of th� second street sweeper, it fs passible to no�� provide added servi.ce to the citizens without materially affec�ing the service to the remainder a� the city. �f this arrangement doss not work out to the Ci�y�s satisfaction duri.ng'1976, there is
