<br /> VIII-A-2 <br /> MEMO <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Tom Montgomery <br /> Date: May 30, 2007 <br /> Re: Approve Agreement with Dakota County for a Hastings Area Roadway <br /> System Study <br /> Council is requested to approve the enclosed agreement with Dakota County to <br /> conduct an area roadway system study for the Hastings area. The purpose of the study is <br /> to identify future County highway needs on the south and west sides of the City to <br /> accommodate future City growth and traffic volume increases in the area. I have <br /> enclosed a drawing illustrating the general scope of the study. This study was requested <br /> by the City to be included in the County's capital improvement program for the past four <br /> years as an analysis of a Hwy 316 bypass with a connection around the south of the City <br /> to CR 47 and CR 46. <br /> The transportation study proposals came in higher than expected at $100,000. <br /> Under the County's standard cost sharing policy. the City is responsible for 45% of the <br /> study cost or $45,000. The Engineering Department budget includes about $20,000 in <br /> consultant funding that can be applied towards this study in 2007, leaving $25,000 that <br /> will need to be budgeted in 2008 to meet the City's cost share for the project. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Council is requested to approve the enclosed agreement for a Hastings area <br /> roadway study, recognizing that a commitment is also needed to budget $25.000 for this <br /> study in 2008. <br /> CITY OF HASflN6S <br />
