RECOMMENDATION,
Staff recommends approval of Cooperative Agreement with the County regarding City design and
construction of CSAH 37 from Oakwood Avenue to Odean Avenue.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
Yes —Cooperative Agreement No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Both the City of Otsego and Wright County have received Federal grants for 7 oth Street and CAH 37.
These projects overlap each other between Oakwood Avenue and Odean Avenue. The City of Otsego Is
planning to construct the 701h Street project 2 years ahead of its 2016 Federal funding. Wright County
will not be constructing its portion until the 2017 Federal funding is available.
Wright County and the City of Otsego have agreed that it would be best if the portion of overlap
between Oakwood Avenue and Odean Avenue be constructed in 2014 with the city project for several
reasons, mainly that there should be no sacrificial design and construction, therefore saving cost and
causing less traffic controI issues.
Staff has reviewed the Cooperative Agreement. Items of note are the City will be refunded County
portions of the project in 2014 and 2015 and not have to wait for the County to receive Federal funding,
Traffic control will not be by a percentage of the construction cost. The intersection of 70th St and CAH
37 right of way costs and construction costs will be per leg or 2/3 County and 1/3 City. Right of way
(ROW) costs for the section between Oakwood and Odean Avenue will be any ROW necessary to the
north of the existing ROW will be for the trail and will be the responsibility of the City. ROW necessary
south of the existing ROW will be for the highway improvement and will be the responsibility of the
County. The County has agreed the highway between Oakwood Avenue and Odean Avenue may be
offset to the south to minimize ROW takings from residential lots. The property to the south is currently
all agriculture.

Please find enclosed two (2) original copies of the cooperative agreement, for the above mentioned project, for
approval by the City of Otsego. Please sign and return both copies to our office, for approval by the County.
it has been brought to OUr attention that the City desires the following to be included in the County's 2017
reconstruction project of CSAH 37 (from just east of Odean Ave NE to TH 101)*'
1. Include a trail along the north side of CSAH 37
2, All utilities to be located Underground
We would be happy to include a City trail in our 2017 project, and will, plan on meeting with the City well ahead of
design of the 2017 project to coordinate and prepare an agreement accordingly, subject to the County funding policy
(trails are constructed at city expense).
The County has no legal tinechanism to require all titilifles to be placed underground within the County highway right-
of-way, Perhaps the City may have a franchise agreement or an ordinance that would require this? We would
welcome all utilities to be placed midergroan d, and have requested this on previous projects only to find out the
County would have to bear the burden of the extra expense.
Please call me at 763�682-7388 if you have any questions or require further information,
Sincerely,

BAC KG RO U N D/J U ST� F I CAT I ON:
At the previous council meeting, council directed staff to proceed with the preliminary design of a
round -about at the intersection of CSAH 37 and 701h Street. Staff has contacted an engineering firm
familiar with round -about design and met with them on April 3 d . The Assistant Wright County Engineer,
Chad Hausmen also attended the meeting. The meeting was not able to occur prior to that date due to
the design engineer being on vacation.
Preliminary design layouts are not available at the time of packet submission but will be available by the
time of the Council meeting. Two round -about locations will be reviewed. One will be in alignment with
current 7 Oth St and CSAH 37. The other will be centered close to the existing intersection of 70th St and
CSAH 37. The most westerly driveway on 70th St may need minor to provide spacing away from the
intersection. No other issues were deemed problematic and it appears to be a fairly straight forward
design.
Questions regarding the size and design of the round -about we asked, specifically in reference to the
both the round -about south of Watertown on HWY 25 and the Monticello round -about. The size will
likely not be as large as the round -about south of Watertown. The Monticello round -about was a Much
earlier design and criteria for round -about design has changed significantly so any comparison to that
round -about is not warranted.
Again, due to the quick turnaround of approx. 1 %weeks, preliminary round -about designs will not be
available until the council meeting.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: ATTACHED xNONE
No attachments at this time; attachments will be handed out at the meeting.
