Mr. Schwarting indicated that the County has set aside $100,000 of CSAH <br />funds in 1994 dedicated to that improvement. Obviously, this is not enough dollars to start <br />an improvement on this particular roadway. However, Mr. Schwarting indicated he was <br />prepared to consider additional funding in 1995 and 1996. <br /> <br />At this point in time, the County Highway Department does not have sufficient manpower <br />available to even consider cost estimates for this improvement for budgeting purposes. Mr. <br />Schwarting indicated he would request that the City take the lead on this project and develop <br />some preliminary design concepts and cost estimates for his review and approval and <br />subsequent budgeting for future construction years. He also indicated he would look for the <br />City to take the lead in designing and constructing the project with the County being a <br />funding and reviewing agency. <br /> <br />Based on this conversation with the County Engineer, I have prepared the attached draft <br />resolution for the City Council's consideration. The resolution indicates that the City is very <br />interested in pursuing the upgrade of CSAH #1 in 1995 and 1996, and directs MSA, <br />Consulting Engineers to work with the County to develop preliminary design, cost estimates, <br />and funding scenarios. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />c ::~//...I;1') <br />T~a;~-;-E~- <br /> <br />TJM:tp <br />
