Message Page 1 of2 Maurer, Terry From: Rossel, Crystal M [CrystaI.Rossel@BNSF.com] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 3:44 PM To: Maurer, Terry Subject: RE: BNSF Crossing Surface Maintenance and Upgrades through Elk River, MN Terry: I do not have anything on record that says the City had any contribution toward the new surface on Main 2 at 165th Avenue. This project was done as part of a tie program and was not originally programmed for concrete. While the tie gang was doing rehab work near the Main 2 track, there may have been a discovery that there were some structural issues at the crossing that required concrete to help stabilize the crossing. As mentioned in my first e-mail.MainLine1isonthepreliminarylistfor2006.However.this does not mean that the crossing will get a new concrete surface. If maintenance budgets are depleted prior to the upgrade at the crossing, then the Railroad would simply perform the maintenance work required for railroad operations. So, if the crossing is not upgraded at this time, there is no saying when it would be on the maintenance list again. The only way to guarantee an upgrade during the maintenance year at a reduced participation rate is to cost-share with the Railroad for the work. Please let me know if you need any additional information prior to your July 10th Council Meeting. I look forward to hearing from you - thanks! -Crystal -----Original Message----- From: Maurer, Terry [mailto:TMaurer@ci.elk-river.mn.us] Sent: Wednesday, June 28,2006 11:06 AM To: Rossel, Crystal M Subject: RE: BNSF Crossing Surface Maintenance and Upgrades through Elk River, MN Crystal, I have reviewed this draft agreement with our City Administrator and taken a look at the crossing. She has asked me to put it on the next City Council agenda for the meeting on July 10th. Do you know when the one crossing was upgraded with concrete, why both weren't done at that time and what was the City's participation in the cost of that upgrade? This information will help me prepare my Request for Council Action for the 10th meeting Terry Maurer.
