The purpose of this plan is to <br />place roadways under the jurisdiction that is best able to manage them. Since 1995, <br />approximately 8 miles of roadway jurisdiction has been transferred from Ramsey County to the <br />City of Roseville including McCarrons Boulevard, Josephine Road and South and West Owasso <br />Boulevards. <br />As part of this same plan, Rice Street is proposed to be transferred from Mn/DOT to Ramsey <br />County. Ramsey County has requested a resolution from Roseville concurring with the proposed <br />turnback. <br />Policy objectives: Governmental units within Ramsey County ha�e agreed that roadways should <br />be owned and maintained by the appropriate governing agency based on roadway type. <br />Accordingly, a functional classification study of roadways was completed. The proposed <br />jurisdictional change proposed is in keeping with this original study. <br />Financial implications: To facilitate transfers of roadways from MniDOT to other agencies, <br />funds have been set aside to assist the new agency in the State Turnback Fund. '�is fund allows <br />the local jurisdiction to make improvements to the turned back facility without the need to <br />increase taxes locally. <br />RECOI�TI�TENDED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Adoption of a resolution concurring with the proposed jurisdictional transfer of Rice Street from <br />Mn/DOT to Ramsey County. <br />Prepared by: Karl Keel <br />
