COUNCIL- MEMBER GUNKEL SECONDED THE MOTION ~ THE MOTION PASSED 4-0. 12. Tyler Street Preliminary Engineering Report Mr. Terry Maurer explained the report noting that it is considerably different than most street improvement feasibility studies. He noted that approximately two-thirds of the area is of rural type construction and one-third is urban type construction. Mr. Maurer noted that MSA requirements call for a twelve-hundred car/per day design. He noted that at least ninety feet of clear area was required which would include relocating the power poles. Mr. Maurer noted that possibly there are some standards that could be applied, allowing construction within the current sixty-six foot right of way. He is to check with Mr. Reed to find out if other construction is possible. Mr. Maurer noted that the improvement of this street should possibly be spread over two construction seasons allowing the fill in the low wet areas to settle over the winter season. Mr. Maurer noted that this would work well within a MSA financing where the advance encumbrances could be spread over two years. Further discussion on MSA allotments ensued. Councilmember Gunkel expressed concern over the total MSA commi.tments and quoted a five year plan noting that MSA pri- orities would have to be determined. Mr. Maurer is to get further MSA allotment information. No action was taken on the Tyler Street improvement project. 13.
