Title

Review Anoka County Cost-Share Policy

Background

Last year, Council had expressed a desire to review/amend the Anoka County signal installation portion of the county’s cost share policy.  As such, staff has discussed the policy with the County Engineer to review their current cost share policy.  Attached to this item is a study that the Anoka County Highway Department has prepared that compares their current policy, in its entirety with other metro county policies.

Staff is bringing this discussion forward at this time as the 125^th Avenue project is currently being designed and is generating resident concern/discussion specifically at the intersection of Zest Street and 125^th Avenue.  Staff will discuss the intersection design options, potential costs, and funding sources available.  Also during the design process the county prepares a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) that will outline the cost and maintenance responsibilities of the county and city for the different elements of the project. 

Staff will also review this information with council along with the current 5 year CIP that the city has for Street Rehabilitations and possible impacts.
