City Council Minutes January 31, 1990 Page 2 e This cost would come from the City Street Reserve Fund, which is financed by the Landfill surcharge. Since the Utility Commission and School District involvement is also required for this project, the possibility that this intersection may not be improved until 1991 was noted. It was the consensus of the City Council to attempt to have the Fillmore Street improvement project delayed later that its scheduled 1991 date. Staff was requested to review the City commitment to upgrade this road when the Hidden Creek Plat impact fee was obtained and to discuss this issue with the Developer of this project. It was the consensus of the City Council to have the City Engineer contact MnDOT regarding the status of the signal for the intersection of Highway 169 and 193rd Avenue. It was acknowledged that this improvement is needed but that it can be delayed until after 1990 and until a petition is received from a developer in the area for this improvement. City expenses for this project would come from the MSA Fund. e It was the consensus of the City Council to have the staff proceed with a sidewalk replacement program. This issue was discussed in the Fall of 1989 when certain sections of sidewalk were repaired, removed or replaced. The City's share, above assessment to benefited property owners, for this project would come from the City Capital Projects Fund. It was the consensus of the City Council to finance the purchas~ of the tax forfeited properties that the City authorized to be purchased in early 1990 from the Capital Projects Fund. The total cost of these land purchases is estimated at $8,000. The City Council directed staff to investigate the Waco Street and bridge improvement project as soon as practical. It was noted that this project, from start to finish, would take approximately five years, including two years of actual construction. Staff noted that it would pursue the review of necessary right-of-way for this project and investigate the possible purchase of land for this project. If funds are needed before MSA .monies are available for this right-of-way purchase then the City would use its Capital Projects Fund, TIF money, and its self-insurance fund. e It was the consensus of the City Council that the Dodge Avenue and Fifth Street improvement project was a high priority but that the project would have to wait until a petition was received for this improvement. The estimated cost of the project for Dodge Avenue is $200,000 and the City's share would be $100,000. These funds would come from the Street Reserve Fund ($75,000) and the Capital Projects Fund ($25,000). The City's share for the improvement of Fifth Street would be approximately $25,000 (Capital Projects). Additional funds would have to be made available for the sewer and water improvements that are necessary in this area. If possible, the City Council desired this project to be planned in 1990 and constructed in 1991.
