City MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Mayor and City Council Michele McPherso~/~rector of Planning DATE: May 16, 2001 SUBJECT: Consider Memorandum of Understanding with Minnesota Department of Transportation Attachment · Memorandum of Understanding Background Staff has been working with MN/DOT in reviewing the final drawings of the Minnesota Department of Transportation multi-modal site which is slated to be constructed in summer of 2001 at the Northstar Corridor Depot site. The multi-modal site will be utilized for the next two years to provide bus service from the City of Elk River. This multi-modal site is the preliminary phase of the Northstar Corridor Depot. Upon reviewing the plans there were a number of issues that staff had of concern regarding construction through the median, access to the primary entry drive into the multi-modal facility for the adjacent commercial development, landscaping, and use of the easement which will be considered by the Council as a later agenda item. In order to outline the commitments and responsibilities of both the City and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, a Memorandum of Understanding was developed which outlines the expectations of both parties. Recommendation Staff is comfortable that the Memorandum of Understanding clearly outlines the expectations that the City has of MN/DOT and that MN/DOT has of the City. We believe that the Memorandum of Understanding will alleviate any conflicts, which may arise during the construction of the multi-modal facility. Staff recommends that the City Council accept the Memorandum of Understanding and direct both the Mayor and the City Engineer to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.
