BACKGROUND:
On December 18, 2007, the Rosemount City Council received the Feasibility Report for the 2008 Street
Improvements Project. This project has been designated as City Project #418.
1. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The 2008 Street Improvement Project includes surface improvements to approximately 6,300 feet (1.2
miles) of 32 -foot wide urban streets identified in the 2007 -2010 Street Improvement Program at the
following locations:
Claret Avenue (between 155t Street West and Cornell Trail West)
Cornell Trail (between Claret Avenue and east end)
156t Street West (between Claret Avenue and Chippendale Avenue)
Cicerone Path (from Cornell Trail West southwest approximately 720 feet)
Surface improvements to the above streets include pavement rehabilitation, installation of sidewalk and
pedestrian ramps, and replacement or adjustment of utility castings.
Along with new sidewalk presented in the Feasibility Report along Cornell Trail and Cicerone Path, two
additional segments of new sidewalk in the same neighborhood were unintentionally not included in the
report: Cornell Trail/ 156 Street from Winds Park to 156t Street West, and 156 Street West from Claret
Avenue to Chippendale Avenue (south side). These segments are consistent with planning efforts by the
Parks and Recreation Department and are a part of the Pedestrian Facilities Improvement Program, and as
such are recommended for inclusion in the proposed project.
The Feasibility Report also addresses the anticipated improvements such as roadway striping and median
construction that are necessary at 145t Street and Biscayne Avenue at -grade railroad crossings for the
development of a Quiet Zone within the City. These improvements are not proposed to be completed
until the City has received approval from the Federal Rail Authority for the establishment of a Quiet Zone.

Finally, this project includes seal coating as a part of ongoing regular maintenance activities identified in
the Pavement Management Program Maintenance Project for 38 road segments meeting the rating criteria
for crack filling and seal coating.
2. FUNDING
The total estimated project cost for the proposed improvements is $1,650,000. Funding for the project
will consist of approximately:
$1,001,900 from the City's Street CIP, which includes
o $703,300 for street rehabilitation and related surface improvements
o $200,800 for pavement management seal coating
o $97,800 for quiet zone improvements,
$268,100 from the Sidewalk Improvements fund as part of the General Operating Budget for new
sidewalk construction, and
$380,000 in Special Assessments for street rehabilitation and related surface improvements.
The proposed street assessment rate is $3,140 per single family unit, and $1,640 per multi- family unit. As
a street assessment for a rehabilitation project on an existing street, these proposed rates comprise 35% of
the Improvement Cost and are in accordance with the City's policy and current fee schedule.
3. SCHEDULE
It is proposed that construction occur in 2008 and is anticipated to be completed, including all restoration
items, by the fall of 2008.
SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt the attached resolution ordering the project and authorizing
the preparation of plans and specifications for City Project #418.

The U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement
(As endorsed by the 73r Annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting, Chicago, 2005)
A. We urge the federal government and state governments to enact policies and programs
to meet or beat the target of reducing global warming pollution levels to 7 percent
below 1990 levels by 2012, including efforts to: reduce the United States' dependence
on fossil fuels and accelerate the development of clean, economical energy resources
and fuel efficient technologies such as conservation, methane recovery for energy
generation, waste to energy, wind and solar energy, fuel cells, efficient motor vehicles,
and biofuels;
B. We urge the U.S. Congress to pass bipartisan greenhouse gas reduction legislation that
1) includes clear timetables and emissions limits and 2) a flexible, market -based system
of tradable allowances among emitting industries; and
C. We will strive to meet or exceed Kyoto Protocol targets for reducing global warming
pollution by taking actions in our own operations and communities such as:
1. Inventory global warming emissions in City operations and in the community,
set reduction targets and create an action plan.
2. Adopt and enforce land -use policies that reduce sprawl, preserve open space,
and create compact, walkable urban communities;
3. Promote transportation options such as bicycle trails, commute trip reduction
programs, incentives for car pooling and public transit;
4. Increase the use of clean, alternative energy by, for example, investing in
"green tags advocating for the development of renewable energy resources,
recovering landfill methane for energy production, and supporting the use of
waste to energy technology;
5. Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements,
retrofitting city facilities with energy efficient lighting and urging employees to
conserve energy and save money;
6. Purchase only Energy Star equipment and appliances for City use;
7. Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green
Building Council's LEED program or a similar system;
8. Increase the average fuel efficiency of municipal fleet vehicles; reduce the
number of vehicles; launch an employee education program including anti-
idling messages; convert diesel vehicles to bio- diesel;
9. Evaluate opportunities to increase pump efficiency in water and wastewater
systems; recover wastewater treatment methane for energy production;
10. Increase recycling rates in City operations and in the community;
11. Maintain healthy urban forests; promote tree planting to increase shading
and to absorb CO2; and
12. Help educate the public, schools, other jurisdictions, professional associations,
business and industry about reducing global warming pollution.
