<br />
<br />The Northstar Corridor Development Authority Executive Committee/Capital Budget
<br />Committee met on September 2, 2004, in regular session at the Sherburne County

<br />John Norgren, Greg Bruestle, Dan Erhart, Jeanne Mason, Bruce Nawrocki, Tom Gamec, Jay

<br />1. The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. A motion was made by Woody Bissett,
<br />seconded by Ewald Peterson and carried unanimously to approve the meeting
<br />minutes of August 5, 2004, and the agenda of September 2, as presented.
<br />
<br />2. Ken Stevens noted that the NCDA entered into an agreement with Kimley-Horn in
<br />2003 for advanced preliminary engineering services including the preparations of the
<br />New Starts submittal to the FTA. He noted that the NCDA's New Starts submittal to
<br />the FTA has been delayed because the Metropolitan Council is in the process of
<br />developing a new regional ridership forecast model that will be used for NCDA's
<br />ridership analysis. Mr. Stevens noted that revisions to the financial plan are more
<br />substantial than anticipated due to inclusion of a Mn/DOT 20-year cash flow projection.
<br />The Executive Committee/Capital Budget Committee is recommending that the
<br />Agreement with Kimley-Horn, Inc. be amended to extend the term of the Agreement
<br />through January 31,2005 and increase the contract amount by $20,000. Mr. Yantos
<br />noted that an amendment to this Agreement would not change the scope of services
<br />and also that the $20,000 increase to the contract maximum is within the approved
<br />2003/2004 NCDA budget and work plan.
<br />
<br />Tom Gamec made a motion that the NCDA authorize the Chair to finalize negotiations
<br />and execute Amendment No.2 to the Advanced Preliminary Engineering Agreement
<br />with Kimle-Horn, Inc. extending the term of the agreement through January 31,2005
<br />and increasing the contract amount by an additional $20,000. The motion was
<br />seconded by John Norgren and passed unanimously on a voice vote. John Weaver
<br />asked if the $20,000 increase will be sufficient enough to cover work performed during
<br />the extended term. Mr. Stevens noted that staff are fairly confident that the $20,000
<br />will cover the term extension.
<br />
<br />3. Mary Richardson noted that the NCDA agreed to continue operations of the Northstar
<br />Commuter Bus for one year, from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. The
<br />Executive Committee/Capital Budget Committee is recommending that the NCDA
<br />approve the following in order to continue the bus service. The
<br />agreements/amendments being recommended are: a) an amendment to the
