MAYOR DEMOS: Anyone ln the audience that wishes to be heard or ask a question? REPRESENTATIVE OF BRIGGS TRANSPORTATION, 2360 County Road c: what was the statement that you made, Mr. Leonard, regarding when you thought you could start and when you might finish? MR. LEONARD: with the approval of alignment and grade from Roseville we go to the State of Minnesota for approval of the project for funding out of the highway state funds - we have community approval and money, we would expect it would take six months or better in this right-of-way (in- audible). There's a lot of questions that have to be solved between the property owner to get this thing to work to everybody's advantage. I think it will take six months or better, probably another two or three months to get these approvals, and six months in the right-of-way negotiation area. our goal is to get the project awarded for contract this fall - to take it out of our 1976 funds, with the actual construction to be in 1977. BRIGGS TRANSPORTATION REPRESENTATIVE: The second ques- tion I would have to ask has to do with ingress and egress during construction. MR. LEONARD: This road will be maintained open to traffic and built under traffic. I think here last summer or the summer before on Fairview near "c" we had an improvement - we maintained traffic through the course of construction and this would be built under similar conditions. We would (inaudible) we might have to shut down a driveway for a day while they pave (inaudible). BRIGGS TRANSPORTATION REPRESENTATIVE: The other thing I would like to ask about due to the nature of our business, is security during construction. In other words, we have a fence now, and during construction and especially during construction you have less means of protection. MR. LEONARD: Two things can happen here. In your particular case you have an existing fence that comes around here, jogs there, and goes to the railroad tracks. We can call, if it's the owner's wish, for a new fence and location on the pJ,an - ask the contractor to have that installed and complete and secured prior to removing the existing fence. WE can, if that doesn't meet the owners requirement and he feels that he wants to handle this security problem himself, make that part of the right-of- way negotiation and compensate him for removal of his existing fence and making his own security measures. BRIGGS TRANSPORTATION REPRESENTATIVE: That would be another negotiable thing at the time of negotiations. 5
