<br />I <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />City of New Briqhton <br />October 27, 1981 <br /> <br />Special Order of Busin~ss <br />Mr. Don Salverda,-Ramsey~-county Corrunissioner, <br />and Mr. Ken Weltzin, county Engineer, were <br />present to discuss the County's 5-Year plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Salverda reviewed the various goals and <br />objectives of the County's Plan and indicated <br />that the scheduling of projects in the 5-Year <br />Plan is based on County-wide priorities and <br />on available funds. <br /> <br />Mr. Weltzin stated that there is presently <br />about 3 million dollars annually for highway <br />purposes of which 60% is allocated for <br />reconstruction purposes and 40% to maintenance. <br />Mr. Weltzin stated further that this level of <br />funding provides limited opportunities to expedite <br />all the County-wide projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Benke asked when the County expected <br />construction to begin on County Road D. <br /> <br />Mr. Weltzin said that he expected construction <br />on County Road D to commence in the spring of <br />1983. <br /> <br />Councilmember Janecek questioned the status of <br />the widening of the bridge over 1-694 at Silver <br />Lake Road. <br /> <br />Mr. Weltzin indicated that this bridge project <br />was shown in the 5-Year Plan for 1983 but that <br />this was under the jurisdiction of the State <br />of Minnesota. <br /> <br />The Mayor expressed appreciation for the <br />County's effort for the 10th Street project <br />but also expressed some concern that other <br />New Brighton projects not be delayed. <br /> <br />Mr. Weltzin stated that they have had problems <br />regarding the County Road 0 project because <br />they had been attempting to find federal funding <br />and that many projects are being delayed as <br />a result of an overall lack of funds and lack <br />of staff. <br /> <br />The Mayor with consent of the Council directed <br />receipt of a petition from City residents <br />requesting a semaphore at Rice Creek Road <br />and Silver Lake Road. <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />Ramsey County <br />5-Year Plan <br />RESOLUTION #2S18 <br />
