Dave Schwarting will take the lead in setting up the meeting with Craig Robinson of MnDOT. He will inform Terry Maurer when the meeting is scheduled. After the meeting is held, Dave and Terry will report back. County State Aid Mileage Request Dave Schwarting indicated that CR 33 has been requested to be added to the County's State Aid Highway (CSAH) system. He also indicated that in reviewing the request, District 3 State Aid Engineer Kelvin Howieson was okay with adding CR 33 but wanted CR 21 taken off of the CSAH system. Terry Maurer asked whether the CR 33 addition to the CSAH system would include both east and west and TH 169. Dave indicated that it did include the realignment through the gravel mining area west of TH 169 and the alignment just recently discussed east of TH 169 going to the County's east border. Dave Schwarting indicated that CR 40 between CSAH 12 and CSAH 13 was requested for addition to the CSAH system. Kelvin Howieson turned that request down and indicated to Dave that he felt CR 40 belonged on the Municipal State Aid system. Dave Schwarting indicated that the County has asked for 60 miles of additional County State Aid highways. In reviewing the request, Kelvin Howieson suggested that 43 miles were more appropriate. The County State Aid Mileage Subcommittee has toured all of the requests and has supported 16 miles of additional CSAH. Dave gave a brief discussion of the process of adding CSAH mileage and indicated that Sherburne County would be going back to the County's Screening Committee in the fall of 2004 to discuss this request further and try to increase the additional mileage above the 16 miles recommended by the Mileage Subcommittee. Dave also indicated in response to questions that the additional 16 miles would add approximately $170,000 a year to the County's annual allotment. Forty percent of that goes to maintenance, sixty percent to construction. Dave indicated that currently the County gets approximately 1.2 million dollars of construction dollars, which is 60 percent of their annual allotment. County Highway 40 Project Status Dave Schwarting indicated again that in reviewing the request to put CR 40 on the CSAH system, District 3 State Aid Engineer Kelvin Howieson indicated he felt CR 40 was better on the City's Municipal State Aid system. Dave reaffirmed that the County does have a federal grant of approximately $900,000 for the reconstruction of CR 40. That money has been moved from fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2006. Discussion continued regarding the potential of a turnback of CR 40 from Sherburne County to the City of Elk River. There are benefits to the City in taking back a County Road through additional mileage they would receive through the Municipal State Aid system. The negative, of course, is that there would then be additional mileage for the City to own and maintain. Terry Maurer asked Dave Schwarting if the federal grant could be passed to the City along with the roadway. Dave indicated that he felt that it could be. Terry reaffirmed the County's turnback policy and that the project money would go with 2 C:\Documents and Settings\pklaers\Local Settings\Temporary I nternet Files\OLKB\CCEM - 051404-minutes.doc
