Subject: MSA Funds for Right -of -Way
Purchase on Ring Route
Dear Dick:
I've talked with Craig Spencer at Hennepin County regarding
the status of the ring route and Orono's share of the cost of
future construction. Hennepin County will be com.inq out with a
memo in about a week to interested cities on the result of a
survey of which ring route is preferred. The majority of the
cities surveyed preferred Alternate No. 4 which involves
straightening County Highways 110, 19.and 6. The County's
tentative schedule is to do the work on Co. Rd. 110 within
the next 5 years and to purchase the right-of-way for Co. Rd. 19
and 6 in 1979 or 1980. The proposed route would be a County -
State Aid Highway.
Past policy in Hennepin County has been for the City and
County to each pay 50% of the cost of right-of-way acquisition.
f' Mr. Spencer suggested that if Orono wished to speed the
progress of the ring route by assisting in the early purchase
of right-of-way that a letter to the County Engineer offering
this assistance would be .in order. He thought the County might
be receptive to such an offer and would do the preliminary
engineering work necessary for the r.iyht-of-way to be purchased.
State Aid funds may be used for right--of-way purchase on
Municipal State Aid streets or County State Arid streets. The
street must be designated as an MSA or CSA street which means that
(Orono may have to take some of the streets presently on the MSA

system off the
system to come within the total mileage limitations
iof the MSA system.
A plan, profile and cross section of the
proposed 'street
is required before any money can be spent on
_•,;.,
right-of-way.
This would presumably be done by the County.
If you have
any questions or require further information
