Municipal State Aid Street System Review and Discussion Mr. Terry Maurer and Mr. Jeff Roos, from Consulting Engineers Diversified, were present to answer any questions the City Council might have regarding their summary of the 1980 Municipal State Aid needs study for the City of Elk River. Gouncilman Duitsman questioned the possibility of getting the dam bridge done on MSA funds. Mr. Terry Maurer indicated that the dam bridge repair or replace- ment would cost approximately $700,000. The City Administrator indicated that the City of Elk River could apply for bridge bonding and that the MSA funds could be used for other projects in the City. Mr. Jeff Roos explained the MSA funds as a means of interim financing for capital improvement projects and further indicated that they were interested in the City Council's input into a planned five-year program. General discussion was carried on regar<ling streets to be designated as MSA streets, timing of the I projects and which projects would have priority. The City Administrator suggested the City Council look at the projects suggested by Consulting Engineers Diversified and prioritize which projects the City Council felt most important. Councilman Toth suggested that School Street be upgraded as a priority project and sidewalks be placed along Irving from School Street to the existing sidewalk. The City Administrator indicated that if School Street be considered as a project for the MSA funds, that storm sewer also be included in the project. It was the concensus of the City Council to authorize Consulting Engineers Diversified to do a feasibility study for School Street and to provide maps for the City Coun- cil with designated MSA streets and proposed projects for a meeting to be held on Monday, March 9th, at 7:30 p.m. by the City Council committee. 10.
