' CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 5, 1995 A►GENDA ITEM: County Road 46 Resolution AGENDA SECTION: Old Business PREPARED BY: Bud Osmundson AGENDA �� A � � � City Engineer/Public Works Director �� J ATTACHMENTS: Letter from County Board. Resolution APPROVED BY: Members of the Dakota County Staff and the Commissioners and affected Cities of Apple Valley, Lakeville, Rosemount, Coates and Empire Township have met periodically as a County Road 46 Task Force to discuss the alignment for County Road 46 through the affected Cities and University of Minnesota properties. The Task Force agreed that the County Road 46 alignment should continue on 160th Street as has been discussed for many years. As a result, the County Commissioners have requested that the affected Cities support the County in working with the University of Minnesota to accept an alignment for County Road 46 along 160th Street through the University property. The attached resolution supports that request. I have added to the County prepared resolution a line in the second paragraph regarding the construction of County Road 46 on the 160th Street alignment between Pilot Knob and State Trunk Highway 3. From past discussion with Council I believe that this part of County Road 46 does have your support. I am unsure if the County purposefully or inadvertently left this segment out of the discussion. Staff recommends the adoption of the resolution and will be available for any discussion and questions which Council may have. RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT THE 160TH STREET ALIGNMENT OF COUNTY ROAD 46 BETWEEN TRUNK HIGHWAY 52 AND CSAH 31, PILOT KNOB ROAD.
