1489 <br />/4TTlV(lU/WerOT A <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Adininistrato <br />DATS: January 4, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: County Road 116 <br />Attachment:A. County Road 116 Memo Dated 4/15/88 <br />B. County Road 116 Administrator's Information <br />Dated 12/6/88 <br />C. Excerpt of Minutes of the Council's July 13, 1987 <br />Meeting <br />ISSUE - Presentation of further information to the Council <br />regarding: <br />a. Decision Points on County Road 116 <br />b. Anticipated Options Available to the City of Orono <br />Regarding 116 <br />INTRODUCTION - At the Council's July 13, 1987 meeting a public <br />hearing was held regarding the request for County 116, Given the <br />fact that the County and the City of Medina were seeking the City <br />of Orono's support for County Road 116 and the fact that the <br />Council at the time chose not to have it brought back until there <br />were positive benefits for Orono, the issue was dropped. This <br />issue was again considered at the Council's April 25, 1988 <br />meeting when the Council was requested to support a resolution to <br />the County for undertaking County 116. As the anticipated <br />positive benefits did not outweigh the perceived concerns raised <br />by residents on Willow Drive, no action was taken. <br />DISCUSSION - The original project for County Road 116 was going <br />to be funded by County/State Aid funds and was to go from Highway <br />55 to Highway 12. The original proposal was such that Orono <br />would have a say in whether the project would go ahead or not. <br />The proposal regarding County Road 116 that will be presented to <br />the Council at their January 23, 1989 meeting will be one that <br />will be funded solely by County funds and is initially proposed <br />to go from Highway 55 only as far as County Road 6. <br />DECISION ON COUNTY ROAD 116 - Given the fact that County <br />Road 116 construction can go as far as County Road 6 or <br />stop at the Orono/Medina border, it is our understanding <br />that the City of Orono does not have a veto in the route <br />designation as such and if it choses not to participate, <br />the construction will only go as far as the border. As <br />such, the decision rests with the County Board and the <br />City of Medina. As such any support or opposition to <br />County Road 116 should be directed to those two bodies.
