RE: MUNICIPAL STATE AID ADVANCE FUNDING
Dear Mr. Klaers:
As has been done twice in the past, I am recommending that the City Council consider adopting
the attached Resolution which asks for a $500,000.00 advance from the general fund of the
Municipal State Aid Account. As you are aware, we have several projects that will be
undertaken in 1999 that far exceed the City's annual allotment. These include the upgrade of
School Street, the signalization of Trunk Highway 10 and 171s1 Avenue, and land acquisition
along the Tyler Street alignment. Adopting the attached Resolution will put the Municipal State
Aid Office on notice that the City is going to request advance funding from the general account.
As these projects are reviewed by State Aid, we will submit a second application that specifically
lists the projects in question. At that time, the Office of State Aid will advance the money into
the City of Elk River's Construction fund. This will make it available to the City in 1999
whenever the projects listed above proceed. The advance is repaid from future year's
allotments. There is no interest charge or any other cost to the City for this advance.
If you have any questions regarding this issue,please contact me.
Sincerely,
HOWARD R GREEN COMPANY
