MEMORANDUM

TO: Paul Oehme, Public Works Director/City Engineer '
FROM:
Alyson Fauske, Assistant City Engineer, II ~7r

SUBJECT:
Approve Mileage Designation to the Municipal State Aid System - PW004
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council is recommended to designate 0.72 miles of Park Road from Audubon
Road to Powers Boulevard to the Municipal State Aid System."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council present.
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) State Aid program exists to provide
counties and municipalities with financial and technical resources for the local roadway network.
State Aid funds are provided by the Highway Users Tax Distribution Fund. State Aid fund
allocations are based on the total number of miles of streets within the City.
Each year the City submits a Certification of Mileage to MnDOT. The certification summarizes
the mileage of Trunk Highways, County-State Aid Highways, Municipal State Aid Streets,
County Roads and Local Roads within the City. The annual certification allows cities the
opportunity to generate additional needs based on the streets constructed during the previous year.
Park Road between Audubon Road and
Powers Boulevard is 0.72 miles long
and was State Aid Route No. 122-010.
In 2005, Park Road and 3.17 miles of
other State Aid routes were revoked
from the State Aid system in order to
designate Lake Lucy Road and Bluff
Creek Boulevard as State Aid routes.
Since then, additional miles have been
added to the street network that has
generated more available State Aid
miles.
The approved 2008 Certification of Mileage has 0.75 miles available; meaning up to 0.75 miles
could be added to Chanhassen's State Aid system. The 2009 Certification of Mileage has been
submitted to MnDOT State Aid for review and approval; the available mileage listed is 0.77
miles.
Based on the Certification of Mileage, there is a sufficient balance to redesignate Park Road from
Audubon Road to Powers Boulevard as a Municipal State Aid Route. By designating Park Road
as a State Aid route, gas tax funds can be used on the corridor to fund future improvements.
Requests to make changes to the State Aid system must be submitted to the District State Aid
Engineer by March 1, 2010 and must include a City Council Resolution.
