�� irtq��PPr�►��i: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Manager Reviewed: Item Description: Approval of Traffic Signal Maintenance Agreements DATE: 11 /08/04 ITEM: 3 , f Agenda Section: Conscnt Background: Several years ago the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) turned back to Ramsey County the segment of Rice Street (TH 49) from I-694 to UniversityAvenue. As a result of that turn back, the County acquired the operation and maintenance responsibilities for the traffic control signals along that section of Rice Street. The turn back and subsequent jurisdictional changes require that new traffic signal maintenance agreements be executed for several intersections. The City of Roseville is a party to new agreements at the following locations along Rice Street: A�reement # Intersection Parties PW 2003-21 at County Road C Ramsey County, Little Canada, Roseville PW 2003-22 at County Road B2 Ramsey County, Little Canada, Roseville PW 2003-23 at Minnesota Street Ramsey County, Little Canada, Roseville PW 2003-24 PW 2003-26 PW 2003-27 at County Road B Ramsey County, Little Canada, Roseville, Maplewood at Roselawn Avenue Ramsey County, Roseville, Maplewood at Larpenteur Avenue Ramsey County, Roseville, Maplewood All signals in place before the turn back to Ramsey County had maintenance agreements with MnJDOT. These new agreements with the County simply replace them. Little Canada and Maplewood are a party to these agreements in respective locations adjacent to their cities. Discussion: The responsibilitiesof the City vary depending on the location and jurisdiction of the intersecting roadways. For the most part, these provisions are currently in place and were similar in the previous agreements with Mn/DOT. The City is responsible for power costs on the intersections where we have municipal streets intersecting Rice Street. In return, on these intersections the County does not bill the City for ongoing maintenance and other operational costs. On the remaining intersections all signal costs are Ramsey County's. The City is responsible for EVP costs. Little Canada has approved these agreements and Maplewood is in the process of approving them. Financial Implications: The City budgets annually for maintenance of traffic control signals for which it is responsible. These agreements are consistent with the budgeted amounts. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approval of these signal maintenance agreements.
