RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of Rochester has received federal funding for projects in 2010;
Douglas Cascade Phase 2 Trail Project (SP 159-09-16) and the 20th Street SE Project (SP
159-080-14) that will construct a new road from CSAH 1 (11th Avenue SE) to CSAH 36
(Marion Road) and projects in 2011; 20th Street SW Reconstruction Project from TH 63 to
Mayowood Road (SP 159-156-01) and Pinewood Road Reconstruction Project (SP 159-166-
01); and,
WHEREAS, there are State regulations are in place regarding the use of these funds
and the timeline to file and complete certain prerequisite submittals; and,
WHEREAS, the submittal of a Right-of-Way Certificate for the Douglas Cascade Phase
2 Trail Project (SP 159-090-16) requires that all necessary land rights to construct the project
have been obtained before July 1, 2010; and,
WHEREAS, in the case of the Douglas Cascade Phase 2 Trail Project, the City and the
DM&E Railroad have reached an agreement on the sale of the former Pine Island Spur Line
•right-of-way to the City. In addition, the City sought and received $1,000,000 in funding from
the State Legislature this session to offset some of the right-of-way acquisition costs.
However, the State funds are not available until after the start of the State 2011 fiscal year in
July 2010 and the Right-of-Way Certificate for the Douglas Cascade Phase 2 Trial Project is
due before July, 2010; and,
WHEREAS, the MnDOT State Aid Engineer and the District 6 ATP have propose to the
City a funding solution that does not jeopardize the $800,000 in 2010 federal funding for the
Douglas Cascade Phase 2 Trail Project. It is proposed that the City agree to transfer the
$800,000 from the Douglas Cascade Phase 2 Trail Project to another City federally funded
2010 project; the 20th Street SE Project (SP 159-080-14) that will construct a new road from
CSAH 1 (11th Avenue SE) to CSAH 36 (Marion Road). Federal funding on this project would
increase from $2,280,000 to $3,080,000. This in essence, removes the Douglas Cascade
Phase 2 Trail Project from the federal project list and the associated deadlines and
requirements that go with the federal program; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Faribault has 2 federally funded projects in 2010. The SP's are
125-090-02 with $535,718 and 125-080-04 with $819,000 for a total of $1,354,718 in federal
funds; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Faribault has asked the City of Rochester to use the $1,354,718
on the 20th Street SE Project (SP 159-080-14) in 2010. This would increase the total federal
•funds on this Rochester Project from $3,080,000 to $4,434,718 and in exchange Rochester
would transfer $1,354,718 to the City of Faribault by dropping the $1,000,000 in federal
funding on its 20th Street SW Reconstruction Project from TH 63 to Mayowood Road (SP 159-
•156-01) in 2011. In addition, Rochester's Pinewood Road Reconstruction Project (SP 159-
166-01) scheduled for 2011 would have the $1,000,000 in federal funds reduced by $354,718
to a new total of $645,282; and,
WHEREAS, the reduction in federal funding for the Cascade Douglas Trail Phase 2
Project, the 20th Street SW Reconstruction Project and the Pinewood Road Reconstruction
Project will be made up with the use of Sales Tax funds and Municipal State Aid funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Rochester that the City agrees to the transfer of $800,000 from Rochester's 2010 SP 159-090-
16 to Rochester's 2010 SP 159-080-14.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Council that the City agrees to the transfer of
$1,354,718 from Faribault Projects to Rochester's 2010 SP 159-080-14.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Council that the City agrees to the transfer of
$1,000,000 from Rochester's 2011 SP 159-156-01 to Faribault and to also transfer $354,718
from Rochester's 2011 SP 159-166-01 to Faribault.
