City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council present. BACKGROUND The City of Chanhassen was awarded federal funds for several transportation projects last year. They include reconstruction of TH 101 from Lyman Boulevard to Pioneer Trail which is planned for construction in 2013 and a trail underpass at Minnewashta Parkway and TH 5 and safety improvements on TH 5 at Lone Cedar Lane and Minnewashta Parkway to be constructed in 2012. DISCUSSION In order to receive these funds, the City needs to enter into an agreement with MnDOT. The agreement identifies the City representative for the project, bidding requirements, construction administration and payment requirements along with other miscellaneous duties. The agreement overall is very broad in nature and not specific because each project is very different. This is the general agreement MnDOT has communities sign to receive federal funds. gAeng\pau1\nthadJ&d Wowm hiltV>f6 Proj&V fit T6dH�- MOlanning for Tomorrow CITY OF CHANHASSEN CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA DATE: January 10, 2011 RESOLUTION NO: 2011 -1 MOTION BY: SECONDED BY: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN ENTERING INTO MnDOT AGREEMENT NO. 97986 FOR FEDERAL PARTICIPATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WHEREAS, that pursuant to Minnesota Stat.
