2. TH 169 MN /DOT Environmental and Geometric Study The City Council, sometime ago, asked MN/DOT to take the TH169 interregional corridor study to the next step. MN/DOT has taken the city's request and expanded it to the point where they are ready to embark on the study from the intersection ofTH169/TH10/TH101 north to Princeton. I have recently spoken with Craig Robinson, MN/DOT's Project Manager for the TH169 interregional corridor. He indicated to me that he was planning to get all parties together in December to briefly discuss the parameters of the environmental and geometric study on the highway prior to beginning the consultant selection process. Also, the Mayor and I sit on the Central Minnesota Area Transportation Partnership and at the recent meeting on Friday, October 29, 2004, we received information that indicates MN /DOT does not have any money programmed for construction on TH169 through the year 2030. Obviously, planning items out this far are subject to change, but I thought it might be worthwhile having the City Council discuss this issue again and reaffirm the position that they would like to move forward on the environmental and geometric study ofTH169. 3. County Road 40 (Cleveland Avenue) Turnback Attached are the meeting minutes from the City/County engineering meeting held on Tuesday, October 26, 2004. Also attached is the cost estimate for the reconstruction of CR40 with a breakdown of participation from federal, county, and city funds. This was prepared in conjunction with Dave Schwarting. At the October 26 meeting, at which the Administrators and two elected officials from each party were present, it was the general consensus that the turnback and reconstruction of CR40 should proceed. It would be appropriate for the entire City Council to discuss this issue and consider providing a consensus of the Council to move forward with the turnback and reconstruction of CR40. 4. Sherburne County Cost Participation Policy If the City Council would like to discuss the County's cost participation policy, attached is a spreadsheet that I prepared approximately a year ago that compares the Sherburne County policy to those of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, Washington, and Wright County policies.
