. City Council Minutes January 21, 1991 Page 3 participation is anticipated with the storm sewer portion of this project.

"Da~Brigg~ - The City Engineer indicated that the paperwork for this improvement is moving forward in a timely fashion. Construction is anticipated in 1992. Almost all of the funding would come from non-city monies. The City Council discussed possible improvements to Main Street and utility extensions in the area west of the dam bridge up to the "Y." In this manner, this stretch of road would not have to be under construction again in the future when and if major utility expansions in the western area of the City take place. No consensus was reached on the street and utility improvements associated with this dam bridge replacement project. . 19~rd Si~nal It was noted that a commercial development project is anticipated on the southeast corner of the intersection of 193rd Avenue and Highway 169. Staff has indicated to the developer that this commercial development may generate sufficient traffic to warrant a street signal at this intersection and that, as such, the developer would be responsible for a certain amount of the cost for the signal installation. The City Engineer indicated that if the signal is to be installed in 1992, notification to the MnDOT office in Brainerd needs to take place in early 1991. Direction by the City Council to have the City Engineer contact MnDOT regarding the signal installation in 1992 is anticipated in the next few months. The City share for this project is estimated to not exceed $30,000 and would come from MSA Funds.
