RE: MNDOT PARTNERSHIP CONTRACT
Dear Mr. Klaers:
Kelvin Howieson, the Distdct 3 State Aid Engineer, asked me to forward the attached partnership
contract and resolution, authorizing it to you for the City Council's consideration regarding entedng
into this agreement. This partnership contract will not, as I understand it, change any of the
ongoing services provided by District 3 MnDOT for the City of Elk River. Those services currently
consist of maintenance and operation of the City's signal systems and geotechnical and materials
testing on State Aid and Federal Aid construction projects. What the agreement will do is funnel
the monies paid by the City back to Distdct 3 in Baxter as we pay for those services. Without this
agreement, it is my understanding that the City's payment for services goes to the MnDOT general
fund and does not go back to the distdct where the services originate. Nothing in this partnership
contract will change the provisions for any of the services that the City currently receives from
MnDOT, nor will it change any similar services that we may request and contract for in the future.
We would recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor
and City Administrator to enter into the partnership contract with the State of Minnesota. If you
have any questions regarding this issue, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
Tearer, P.E.
