Approve Resolution R2018-015.

On December 19, 2017, City Council ordered the feasibility report for the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project. The report was completed and accepted by City Council on January 16, 2018. The proposed project includes reconstructing the following streets:

• Shakopee Avenue from Market Street to CSAH 17
• Minnesota Street from 10th Avenue to Shakopee Avenue

• Dakota Street from 10th Avenue to Shakopee Avenue

On February 15, 2018, an informational meeting was conducted for the property owners affected by the proposed project. The residents in attendance were provided an overview of the project, an opportunity to discuss the infrastructure design including sidewalks, street widths, trees and how far private services were being repaired, and the opportunity to provide additional information about their neighborhood and properties relative to the project.

In accordance with Minnesota Statute 429 and city Resolution R2018-005, a public hearing for the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project, CIF-18-003, is scheduled for this evening, February 20, 2018. Proper publication and notice for the improvement hearing have been provided.

City Council is recommended to conduct a public improvement hearing for the proposed improvements associated with the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project. Once the improvement hearing has been conducted, Council is recommended to consider ordering the improvements in accordance with Resolution R2018-015 and to prepare the plans and specifications for the 2018 Street Reconstruction Project. A presentation of the project will be made at the public improvement hearing.

This project is not a petitioned improvement; therefore, adoption of the resolution ordering the improvement requires a super-majority vote.

• Roadway construction, restoration and street lighting improvement costs ($1,368,000) are proposed to be split and paid 30 percent by special assessments to the benefitting properties ($410,400) and 70 percent ($957,600) out of the Capital Improvement Fund. 
• Storm sewer improvements ($253,000) out of the Storm Sewer Fund.
