Due to current construction 74 <br />costs this level of program may be in jeopardy for future years due to lower interest earnings. 75 <br />MSA street overlays are proposed to be funded from the City’s MSA account. The Co. Rd. D 76 <br />reconstruction project is proposed to be funded with MSA funds and assessments. Utility 77 <br />improvements are funded from the respective Utility enterprise funds. Staff has applied for 78 <br />Clean Water grants for storm sewer improvements and Met Council State Bond funded grant for 79 <br />sanitary sewer inflow and infiltration improvements to help offset city costs. We will know 80 <br />whether the city is awarded grants later in December for those programs. 81 <br />The sealcoat, crack sealing, and major patching are funded from the street maintenance budget. 82 <br />This budget is supported by the general fund tax levy and MSA maintenance allocation. Staff 83 <br />recommends funding a program consistent with our pavement maintenance policies. We expect 84 <br />material costs to increase with the rise in oil industry related costs. 85 <br />By taking action now, the Council will be authorizing staff to work on plans for the projects as 86 <br />described. As project bids are opened, staff w ill bring individual contracts to the City Council 87 <br />for approval. A detailed cost breakdown will be included with those Council Actions. 88 <br />S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 89 <br />These improvements are recommended for construction in 2013. Additional utility 90 <br />improvements may be identified at a later date and brought to the Council for authorization.
