County Road 73 (Akron Avenue) for 2016. The City understands that this modification is
considered a placeholdet for the project and that in the event development occurs prior to this
time, Dakota County will work with the City to identify funding for a project sooner.
Furthermore, the City understands that advancement of this project prior to 2016 may require
the City to advance fund Dakota County's share of the project cost.

Dakota County's efforts to secure additional funding. This is a high priority project for the City

project.
