Background:

Funding for these improvements along Shoreline Drive is available through the county’s Cost Participation and Partnerships program (CP 2201100), with expenses tracked in its subproject CP 2201113, based on the following:
• County financing 100% of the pedestrian ramp costs, which was requested to be included in the city’s sidewalk project due to a planned county pavement preservation project.
• County cost participation not to exceed $500,000 for sidewalk improvements through the Cost Participation and Partnerships request process.
Current Request: This request seeks authorization to negotiate Agreement PW 09-06-25 with Mound for cost participation and maintenance responsibilities with pedestrian improvements along Shoreline Drive between Fairview Lane and the Seton Channel Bridge (CP 2201100). The city will install new sidewalk, upgrade pedestrian ramps, and provide construction engineering services at an estimated county cost of $720,000, funded by $500,000 in county bonds and $220,000 from state aid.
The request also seeks to authorization to transfer funds from CP 2183300 - Safety and Asset Management 2019-2023 to CP 2201100 - Cost Participation and Partnerships 2024-2028. Additionally, this request seeks authorization to increase the budget for CP 2201100 by $220,000 (from $20,775,000 to $20,995,000).
