Meeker County approves LRIP application for CSAH 14 and sponsors township LRIP application
Summary
The board approved a $900,000 LRIP application for the Casaw 14 road improvement project and agreed to sponsor Darwin Township's LRIP application for 260th Street, voting by roll call to carry both resolutions.
Meeker County commissioners on Nov. 18 approved two Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) actions: an application seeking $900,000 for the Casaw (CSAH) 14 roadway improvement and a sponsorship resolution acting on behalf of Darwin Township for its LRIP application for 260th Street.
County public-works staff (identified in the transcript as Smallspun) described the Casaw 14 project and said LRIP funding is competitive; staff recommended submitting a strong application to make the project fundable. Commissioner Schmidt moved approval of the LRIP application for the Casaw 14 project; Commissioner Psaki (recorded as Psaki/Psamke in the transcript) seconded and the board approved the resolution by roll call.
Public-works staff then requested county sponsorship of Darwin Township's LRIP application for 260th Street to manage funds and ensure state-aid compliance if the township is awarded funding. Commissioner Oberg moved to approve the sponsorship and a letter of support; Commissioner Schmidt seconded and the board approved by roll call.
Staff noted the township will complete separate local work (culvert replacement) and that LRIP funds for counties and townships are allocated from different pools, not in direct competition. The board did not attach additional county funding in either motion at the meeting.
