1.) The reason the per foot cost did not go up <br />is inclusion of front footage around the <br />corners at 19 and 15 where work is done. <br />B. Municipal State Aid Streets_ - Upon staff request the City <br />Engineer has developed an initial draft(s) of the capital budget <br />for the City's Municipal State Aid system roads. As noted in <br />the diagram attached to the program that the City is served in a <br />grid system of "major" streets and arterials. This is composed <br />of a State Highway, County roads and MSA streets. The streets on <br />the system have been the result of previous Council's actions and <br />MSA program criteria. The dollar figure placed on each project <br />in Attachment A and B is based or rough construction estimates. <br />The plan is presented to indicate needs and funding sources. <br />Projects proposed for certain years are not recommendations but <br />are used to illustrate how such a plan would work. (As part of <br />its overall goal in the transportation area (1988 Strategic <br />Planning Goal #7) staff will, present for Council consideration <br />during the next four months a more refined capital plan based on <br />priorities, needs, and expectations.) Any "adopted" plan would <br />be annually updated as to costs/priorities etc. Based only on <br />the MSA street system the City has over the next several years <br />needs of approximately $5.4 million with approximately $1.8 <br />million available to it in the form of funds from the State. <br />Should the City choose to undertake a substantial amount of these <br />projects the City will need to use its General Tax Funding <br />together with assessments, developers agreements and other <br />sources to make up the difference. While all these upgrades do <br />not need to be done in the next 10 years, the earlier the <br />reconstruction work is done the less problem there will be for <br />any attendant right-of-way acquisition. It is also anticipated <br />that the relative cost of construction will be lower today than <br />in the future. <br />This layout of needs does not take into account needs that the <br />City has for other City streets not on the MSA system that may <br />need upgrades. Neither does it relate to needs on private, <br />County or State roads the City may eventually take over. It is <br />anticipated that private and County roads that may in the future <br />come to the City would be at the standards to which the City <br />would be build its streets. It therefore should not <br />necessitate a substantial reconstruction amount. This may not be <br />the case with City streets not on the MSA system. To the extent <br />that they are not on a system however, they generally will not <br />have the heavier traffic use that would be expected on MSA roads. <br />C. ISSUE IL FINANCING <br />- ----- ---------- <br />1. MSA/General Fund Financing - As noted above there are <br />substantiate needs in the community for the MSA funding apart from <br />utilization of it in conjunction with County Road 15. The most <br />immediate items would relate to the two bridges over Willow and <br />Old Crystal Bay together with work on Watertown Road. It is <br />anticipated that most of the upgrading work on the streets would <br />bring these roads to a 36 foot width which would provide minimum <br />32 foot width permitted by MSA funding together with a four foot <br />
