Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 09,2011 Page 23 For future reference, Councilmember Willmus asked staff to clarify park dedica- tion information as part of the their staff reports and summaries. Willmus moved, Johnson seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10901 (Attach- ment F) entitled, "A Resolution Approving the Preliminary/Final Plat of Sienna Green Second Addition(PF07-068)." Roll Call Ayes: McGehee; Johnson; Willmus; Pust; and Roe. Nays: None. f. Consider Approving Joint Powers Agreement for Shared Engineering Ser- vices with the City of Maplewood Public Works Director Duane Schwartz provided a summary of the request as de- tailed in the RCA dated May 9, 2011; with the City of Roseville being the reques- tor of services, rather than their usual role in providing those services to other municipalities or agencies. Mayor roe noted that this shared services initiative was in line with the goals and strategies of the Imagine Roseville 2025 visioning process. Mr. Schwartz reviewed funding for the position within current budgeting parame- ters; and intent for using this short-term alternative for the City of Maplewood to avoid a layoff, and for the City of Roseville to alleviate the heavy workload cur- rently being realized by its engineering staff in overseeing the multiple projects currently underway and those proposed. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff had worked with the City Attorney to develop the JPA to allow staff to flow either way base on needs and as indicated; and as noted by Mayor Roe, the partnering was consistent with the City Council work plan and the Imagine Roseville 2025 vision. Mr. Schwartz reviewed calculations for various engineering tasks, which would be lower than those rates required to hire a consultant; and depending on the additional needs that may be required by the City of Arden Hills, those could be facilitated as well. Mr. Schwartz noted that the partnering concept continued to grow; and proposed that it be revisited at a future date when CIP funding was more certain and general economic times improved. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Schwartz advised that Roseville staff would continue to manage projects and provide general oversight consistent with Roseville expectations and policies/procedures. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, approval of a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the sharing of engineering staff between the City of Roseville and the City of Maplewood." Roll Call
