At that time staff discussed the desire of Arden Hills to <br />3 <br />terminate the current joint powers agreement for utilizing Roseville engineering employees. City <br />4 <br />staff has been discussing a termination date for the JPA that would be mutually agreeable to both <br />5 <br />cities. The agreement called for a one year notice for termination. The cities have verbally agreed <br />6 <br />to a May 31, 2012 termination subject to both city councils approval. Staff has drafted and the City <br />7 <br />Attorney has reviewed the attached (Attachment A) Memorandum of Understanding terminating the <br />8 <br />agreement. We have also attached the original Joint Powers Agreement (Attachment B). <br />9 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />10 <br />The City is committed to partnering with adjacent communities when feasible and it is mutually <br />11 <br />beneficial to both parties. Community needs change over time and agreements are revised or <br />12 <br />terminated to reflect those changes. <br />13 <br />FI <br />INANCIALMPACTS <br />14 <br />Roseville staff will focus on Roseville projects with the hours previously dedicated to providing <br />15 <br />Arden Hills engineering services. With an increased capital improvement program staff will have <br />16 <br />the ability to keep overall engineering costs for Roseville projects lower than if outside consultants <br />17 <br />were relied on solely for the increased project delivery. <br />18 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />19 <br />Approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding terminating the joint powers agreement with <br />20 <br />Arden Hills for utilization of Roseville engineering employees. <br />21 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />22 <br />Approve a Memorandum of Understanding terminating the joint powers agreement with Arden Hills <br />23 <br />for utilization of Roseville engineering employees. <br />24 <br />25 <br />Prepared by: Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director <br />Attachment: A: Memorandum of Understanding <br /> B: Joint Powers Agreement <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
