ITEH ~ o 2 o ity of MEMORANDUM iver FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Scott Harlieker, Planning Assistan~ March 24, 1997 SUBJECT: A Resolution of Support Regarding a Feasibility Study for Multi-modal Transportation Along the Highway 10/ Burlington Northern Corridor from Minneapolis to St. Cloud On March 6, 1997, I attended a meeting in St. Cloud where David Loch, Sherburne County Administrator, and E1 Tinklenberg, Anoka County Public Services Division Manager, gave a presentation and led a discussion regarding a feasibility study for multi-modal transportation along the Highway 10/Burlington Northern corridor from Minneapolis to St. Cloud. Funding for the study would come from the federal government via the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). Required Local Action Three steps are needed in order to apply for this funding. First, local governments located within the corridor need to adopt a resolution of support which indicates the community's support of the study, designates a representative to develop a joint powers agreement and serve on the joint powers board, and declares its intent to enter into the agreement if it is approved by the local governing body. Attached for your review and consideration is a copy of the resolution. Second, the joint powers agreement needs to be finalized. This agreement will establish a joint powers board that will provide a mechanism to implement the feasibility study. Attached is a copy of a draft joint powers agreement. Third, the local governments need to approve the joint powers agreement and the first meeting of the joint powers board is held. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
