Department: Public Works Q Date: :::::: :. 2 ;9995 be21 Meeting Date: 5 ,\L()).),v Category: Consent Subject: Deny Request for "Handicapped Child Area" on 182nd Street Explanation: • Reference Material/Responsibilty Memo - Tom Kaldunski Referred To: (Name) Department Karen Finstuen Administration Tom Kaldunski Public Works Jay Kennedy Public Works Jerry Bauer Public Works Ruth Green 1/c.:411 12 Signature `/J MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR WARNING SIGN DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 1995 The City has received a request for the installation for a warning sign on 182nd Street between Embers Avenue and Ensley Avenue (see attached map). There is a stop sign at one end and a "T" intersection at the other end of the 780 foot block. The requested warning sign would identify a handicapped child area. I have informed Mrs. Green that it is my recommendation that this request be denied as outlined in my attached letter dated September 7, 1995. This sign is not common at all. I could not fmd any in the manual nor locate it within the surrounding communities. I discussed the topic with the Dakota County Highway Department Traffic Engineers and they also feel that this type of sign is not warranted. My review of the Minnesota Manual indicates that as City Engineer I have the authority to consider special signs. I feel that the use of a special sign is not good policy in many cases. In reviewing this request with the Police Department, this is considered an unenforceable sign and it would most likely not have an effect on reducing traffic speeds. Mrs. Green is not satisfied with my response and she has requested that the Council consider her request. It is my recommendation that this request for a special sign be denied. Thomas J.

September 7, 1995 Ruth Greene • 5319 - 183rd Street Farmington, MN 55024 RE: Request for Sign Dear Mrs. Greene, I have reviewed your request for the placement of a warning sign. It is my understanding that you would like a sign to warn the driving public that your handicapped son is walking on the City streets and caution should be utilized in the area. Typically, the child is pulling a wagon with oxygen tanks. After reviewing the Minnesota Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, I was not able to find any warning sign that would be appropriate. Therefore, I do not believe that the City can install a sign as requested. It would be best that the child be under adult supervision while on his walks. It could be dangerous for anyone to assume that the driving public would heed a warning sign of this nature. You might want to consider a sidewalk improvement project. Keep in mind that this would result in assessments in the neighborhood. Please contact me if you have a question, or if you wish to pursue a sidewalk improvement project. Sin - ,/eezo,Thomas J.

The purpose of the loan by the HRA will be for the purpose of paying for the library improvements. Attached are memos from HRA Executive Director and Wayne Henneke, City Finance Director. The HRA is proposing to provide the following two methods to repay this loan from the City. 1. Revenue from land sales a. Proceeds from the sale of Lot 1 Block 2 to Lexington Standard Corporation in the spring of 1996 be provided to the City. b. Proceeds from the sale of Lot 1 Block 1 to JIT Powder Coating Corporation in the spring of 1996 be provided to the City. 2. HRA existing revenue stream to be used to pay for the loan. After reviewing the attached information, the City Council should determine if they want to provide the $100,000 loan to the HRA Board with a motion reflecting the Council's decision. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at 463-7111. Gerald A. Henricks HRA Executive Director cc: HRA file , • Memo To: HRA members Subject: Loan from the City Date: September 7,1995 The HRA has always recognized there was a financing gap for the library construction of approximately $100,000. To assist in funding this gap, the HRA could possibly use the • refunding bond for the Industrial Park to meet that gap. If the Board determines that they are intending to use the refunding bond to cover the gap, the timing for receiving the funds from the bond sale could be as long as 2 or 3 months. With the library construction work nearing completion, the HRA will need this $100,000 to cover the time frame between the payment of bills.and the receiving of the bond proceeds. I • request the HRA to ask the City to have available the $100,000, as a short-term loan, to meet the expenses until the bond proceeds arrive. The BRA could pledge the bond proceeds as collateral for the payment of the loan. Should the HRA determine that it is not feasible to add the additional $100,000 to the refunding bond issue, the HRA could pledge to repay the $100,000 with the sale of the Lexington Standard lot and the JIT lot in the Industrial Park. These two lots will be sold • to the companies in the spring/early summer of 1996. Lexington Standard's lot will sell for $82,550. Generating unencumbered revenues for the HRA of$50,000. JIT's lot will sell for$76,300. The HRA has already repaid the City for this portion of the land tit associated with its loan with the City, therefore, the unencumbered revenues from this land sale will be$69,000. I believe that these sales should cover the costs associated with the City loan and the interest attached to the loan. Either scenario should provide the HRA with the necessary funding to satisfy the financial gap associated with the construction of the library. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. e � ,de"`-'4*Le hT• 54/4°W C Gerald A. Henricks HRA Executive Director Memo to: Mayor& Council Date : September 26, 1995 Re : H.R.A. loan from City I have reviewed the request from the H.R.A. and funding is available for the loan out of the 1993 Improvements Capital Projects Fund. The recommendation being presented has been discussed with Jerry Shannon, Springsted , Inc. and Bill Lauer from the City's contracted auditing firm to make sure everything is legal and will not affect the City's bond rating. Recommendation If the City is to loan the H.R.A. $100,000 for the library improvements, it is recommended the loan be a$100,000 loan at 6% interest for 1 year. The funding will be from the 1993 Improvements Capital Projects Fund. 1, Wayne E Henneke Finance Director c.c.
