the future for applicability to the above requested improvements.

responsibility for County facilities located in Rosemount. This includes boulevard mowing, snow

Re: Dakota County 2010 2014 Capital Improvement Program
Dear Ms. Anderson:
As requested, the City of Rosemount would offer the following comments and requests for projects
as part of Dakota County's 2010 -2014 Capital Improvement Program.
1. County Road 73 (Akron Avenue) CSAH 42 to future Connemara Trail
At this time, the City requests that funding for the improvement of County Road 73 (Akron
Avenue) from CSAH 42 to future Connemara Trail continue to be programmed for 2009 by
Dakota County.
2. County Road 73 (Akron Avenue) Future Connemara Trail to Inver Grove Heights
Based on the uncertainty for the timing of development along this portion of County Road 73
(Akron Avenue), the City supports the programming of improvements for this portion of
County Road 73 (Akron Avenue) for 2013. The City understands that this modification is
considered a placeholder 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 2013 may require
the City to advance fund Dakota County's share of the project cost.
3. CSAH 42/TH 52 Interchange Project
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The City of Rosemount continues to support the CSAH 42 /TH 52 Interchange Project and
Dakota County's efforts to secure additional funding. This is a high priority project for the City
and as such, the City will continue to work with Dakota County for the advancement of this
project.

understand that the advancement of this project will require coordination with the City of Apple
Valley to develop complete trail extensions to logical termini.
5. Dakota County Maintenance and Cost Share Requirements

maintenance of boulevards and trails within Dakota County rights -of -way, the City is requesting

personnel. This includes the mowing of boulevards, snow removal on trails, and the long term

OA)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion Only
ROSEMOUNT
City Council Work Session: June 10, 2009
BACKGROUND:
CITY COUNCIL
Each year, as part of Dakota County's 5 -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) development, cities are
asked to submit letters of comment and request for projects as part of Dakota County's CIP. Based on
Staff meetings with representatives from Dakota County, the following CIP modifications and requests are
proposed.
County Road 73 (Akron Avenue) Bonaire Path to Inver Grove Heights Line
Based on the uncertainty for the development of properties along County Road 73 to necessitate
the improvement of this section of County Road 73, Dakota County is proposing to move this
project to the fifth year of their CIP, 2014 funding as a placeholder. In the event development
warrants the advancement of this project, the County will work to identify funding or request the
City to upfront the County's cost share with payback to the City by agreement.
CSAH 42 /TH 52 Interchange Project
It is proposed to continue identifying this project in the City and County CIP's as currently shown.
At this time, funding is proposed to be identified in 2014 for right -of -way costs and construction.
As previously discussed, the timing for construction of this project will be dependent on the
availability of MnDOT funding and procurement of federal funds.
Trail Improvements
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff discussed with County representatives the continued request for the construction of a
bituminous path along CSAH 33 (Diamond Path) from CSAH 42 to Evermoor Parkway. County
representatives noted their interest to have this proposed trail extended to CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob)
thru Apple Valley, which will require support from Apple Valley.
G: \ENGPROJ \Dakota Counnv \6 -10 -09 CWS 2010- 2014CIP.doc
In addition to this, Staff noted the City's interest to add a trail on CSAH 38 (McAndrews Road) as
identified on the City's Trail and Sidewalk Improvement Plan.
Dakota County Maintenance and Cost Share Requirements
SUMMARY:
For construction projects on County highways, Dakota County's cost share policy requires the City
participation for 45 percent of the project cost. While this cost share policy is not out of line in
comparison to other metro county cost participation requirements, the policy can be financially
burdensome for cities. In addition, several maintenance items along County highways are the
responsibility of the City either as a requirement or by choice for desired service levels. These
items generally included boulevard maintenance and mowing and trail maintenance and snow
removal.
Dakota County staff has indicated intent to review these policy type issues as part of the County's
Transportation Plan update in 2009 -2010.
Staff is requesting Council input and direction on the contents of this letter.
