STREETS Present Maximum Allowable M.S.A. Mileage Present Desigttated M.S.A. Present Additional Mileage Designation Allowable 11.44 miles - 0 - miles 11.44 miles 12.30 miles 11.44 miles 0.86 miles A summary of the M.S.A. street system mileage details is presented in Appendix B. Since the M.S.A. funds received are based partially on the construction needs for the designated mileage, it is quite important that the City keep the designated mileage ns close as possible to the allowable limit. The MSA Street System should be reviewed annually and the available mileage should be designated on the appropriate streets. The City Council adopted a resolution establishing Ferndale Road, from Trunk Mighway 12 to CSAII No. 6, as a Municipal State Aid Street on April 27, 1992. The total length of this segment of roadway is 1.07 miles which is centered on the east City Limits. The west half of this length is entirely within the City of Orono. The north 0.82 miles of the east half is within the City of Plymouth. I'he south 0.25 miles of the east half is within the City of Wayzata. Plymouth has also adopted a resolution establishing Ferndale Road as a Municipal State Aid Street. However, to complete the designation process, the City of Orono must annex the right-of-way for Ferndale Road that is within Wayzata. C. Annual Apportionment of Fiiiids The Minnesota Department of Trans|)ortation annually apportions the road user tax funds to the eligible municipalities under the State Aid apportionment laws. The funds are allocated on a formula based partly on population and partly on actual needs of the designated roads or streets to bring them up to MSA standards. The allotment will vaiy yearly because of the varying factors in the allocation formula and varying amounts of road user funds collected. Street maintenance funds are presently allocated based on $1,500 per mile of designated existing MSA streets. However, municipalities may request up to 25% of the total allotment for maintenance purposes without submitting a Maintenance Expenditure Report. Requests for amounts greater than 25% and less than or equal to 35% require that a Maintenance Expenditure Report be completed. The City of Orono currently receives 25% of the total allotment for maintenance purposes. The following is a tabulation of the 1993 allotment received and the earlier years allotments for comparison purposes: l.v;oi\rpi
