Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 23, 2009 Page 17 Ms. Nemitz advised that an exterior book drop would be located on the alley side of the building, through working with staff to accomplish that; and while closed during April, provisions would be made at the old site for book drop off, in addi- tion to reserve pick up capabilities as early as April 7, 2009 at the temporary site.

Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Ihlan; Roe; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. e. Approve the Interagency Agreement with Metropolitan Council for the I- 35W and County Road CPark-N-Ride Public Works Director Duane Schwartz reviewed the provisions of the recently- adopted Planned Unit Development (PUD) project for Metropolitan Transit for construction of a Park-N-Ride facility in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment area. Mr. Schwartz noted that, part of that PUD, was development of an agreement to define the requirements for public improvements and to define how Metropolitan Transit will meet their total obligation for public infrastructure, and based on their use of Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) federal funds to pay for their portion of the infrastructure improvement costs. Mr. Schwartz summarized the interagency agreement between the City and Metro Council, as presented in the Council packet; specific requirements; City Attorney revisions addressing concerns of each party; and how the City will ultimately be reimbursed for Phase I improvements when completed. Mr. Schwartz alerted Councilmembers to the specific language of the agreement requiring the City to complete the infrastructure no later than December 31, 2009 to be open to traffic; with the ramification being, if not completed on this very ag- gressive schedule, the City could risk forfeiture of their reimbursement from Met- ropolitan Transit, based on requirements of the federal funding used for the Tran- sit project. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the proposed project timeline and require- ments; noting the need to begin right-of--way acquisitions and appraisals in March of 2009, including a condemnation resolution being brought before the City Council at that time to protect the City's long-term interests and to facilitate con- struction this year. Mr. Schwartz again highlighted and emphasized the impor- tance of the City staying on track for the Phase I improvements tied closely to this project and agreement.
