Council approves LRIP grant agreement for 16th Street Northwest
Summary
After the financial presentation, the council approved a Local Road Improvement Program grant agreement for 16th Street Northwest that will cover roughly 1.4 of eligible costs; the agreement includes a state-required restriction because the project is bond financed.
City engineer Brandon Newton presented the Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) grant agreement for 16th Street Northwest and recommended the council approve the resolution authorizing the mayor and administrator to sign the agreement.
Newton said the LRIP award will cover roughly 1.4 of eligible costs and that the city can use state aid funds to meet required matching shares. He noted a standard state provision that, when state funds are used on bond-financed property, the city must accept a restriction on changing or selling the improved right-of-way for the useful life of the asset (discussed in the packet as a term on page 8). Newton described the document as substantially the same agreement the council had approved for the citys prior 16th Street project and pointed to an application packet and a separate resolution that authorizes signature.
Council moved and seconded the resolution to approve the LRIP grant agreement for 16th Street Northwest. Ryan moved; Brian seconded. The motion carried; the transcript captures one vocalized opposition during the vote but does not provide a roll-call tally or name for that opposition.
Next steps: staff will execute the agreement and move forward with the construction schedule described in the packet. The agenda item closed with council passage of the resolution and no further questions recorded in the meeting transcript.
