� <br /> « SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL NOVEMBER 17, 1975 Page 4 <br /> � Mr. Spencer suggested that if Orono wished to speed ENGINEER'S LETTER <br /> the progress of the ring route b�� assisting in the (Continued) <br /> early purchase of right-of-way that a letter to <br /> the County Engineer offering this assistance <br /> would be in order. He thought the ��tY might <br /> � be receptive to such an offer and would do the <br /> preliminary engineering work necessary for the <br /> � right-of-way to be purchased. <br /> � State Aid funds may be used for right-of-way <br /> purchase on Municipal State Aid streets or County <br /> � State Aid streets. The street must be designated <br /> . as an MSA or CSA street which means that Orono <br /> may have to take some of the streets presently <br /> � on the PMSA system off the system to come within <br /> the total mileage limitations of the MSA system. <br /> � A plan, profile and cross section of the proposed <br /> street is required before any money can be spent <br /> � on right-of-way. This would presumably be done <br /> by the County. <br /> � <br /> ' McCoribs-Knutson Associates, Inc. <br /> � Lyle Swanson, P.E. <br /> • <br /> Norman Paurus also read a letter from Dick Benson, ADMINISTRATOR'S LETTER <br /> City Administrator, which stated that: TO KLOSSNER <br /> Herbert Klossner <br /> • Hennepin Countl Highway Engineer <br /> � The City of Orono is most anxious to see the early <br /> accomplishment of what we refer to a5 the Ring Route <br /> � and your Alternate No. 4, which involves straightening <br /> of County Highways 110, 19 , and 6. <br /> � <br /> Orono is most anxious to have this proceed at the <br /> � earliest possible date, and we have accumulated <br /> • substantial State Aid highway funds which need to <br /> be expended during this year. We would like to <br /> � dedicate a portion of those funds for Orono' s <br /> share of the acquisition of the right-of-way <br /> � for this project. Therefore, we would request <br /> that you perform the necessary work as quickly as <br /> • possible so that we could commit the State Aid <br /> funds at the earliest possible date. <br /> � <br /> + We would be pleased to discuss this in detail at <br /> your convenience or to provide such additional <br /> � information as you desire. Please advise how we <br /> should proceed if any further action on our part <br /> � is necessary at this time, and also whether you <br /> feel these funds can be committed in this way in <br /> � sufficient time that they will not be lost by the <br /> City. <br /> S <br /> � W.
