NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR <br /> <br /> COR / R DE VEL O P ME N T A UTH O RITY <br />Since my last mmlmg, several jurisdictions called with concerns that the start - up <br />costs are open ended and potential local cost is not sufficiently defined in the Joint <br />Powers Ageement that establishes the Northstar Corridor Development Authority. <br /> <br />To resolve the issue, I spoke, by telephone, with Anoka County staff. We agreed to <br />propose a budget for the remainder of 1997 to the Authority as follows: <br /> <br /> $2,000.00 <br /> $3,000.00 <br /> $5,000.00 <br />$10,000.00 <br /> <br />Office Supplies, Postage, etc. <br />General Coordination Activity <br />Teclmical Assistance, Legal <br />TOTAL <br /> <br />We will also propose that the five (or less) counties share this initial budget equally. <br />They are Hennepin, Anoka, Sherburne, Benton, and Stearns. We will not propose <br />an assessment to the cities or townships. <br /> <br />The $10,000.00 should be adequate for the Authority for the remainder of the year. <br />During the interim, we will have learned of our success in obtahting the federal grant <br />and will be able to develop a budget for 1998 based on the grant. <br /> <br />It is hnportant at the present time that ot~r local jurisdictions consider approval of <br />the Joint Powers Agreement. Representative Oberstar is expecting that the <br />Authority will be operational in May as his bill moves tltrough Con=o-tess. <br /> <br />Please call with questions, 612-241-2701. <br /> <br />Sherburne County Administrator <br /> <br />cc: Tim Yantos, Anoka County Assistant Administrator <br /> E1 Tinklenberg, Anoka County Manager of Public Services <br />h~achnindata~,coumfittee~,corHdor~,boardmting <br /> <br /> <br />
