RE: Legal Opinion--City Legal Ability to Proceed with
Street and Transit Improvements
Re--Section 3 UMTA Capital Grant Application
Dear Mayor Latimer:
We have been asked to provide an opinion as to the legal ability
of the City of Saint Paul (City) to proceed with street and
transit improvements in the Lowertown Urban Revitalization
Project Area in Downtown Saint Paul (the Project) under a
Section 3 Capital Grant from the United States Department of
Transportation pursuant to the Urban Mass Transportation Act
of 1964 as amended.
We have examined applicable statutes and Saint Paul City Charter
and ordinances which relate to the City's right to make such
improvements, its eligibility to receive and expend such grant
funds for the purpose intended, and its legal capacity to agree
to the terms and conditions imposed by the Federal Government
in connection with making such grant.
Based on the foregoing we are of the opinion that the City of
Saint Paul as a public body, is fully authorized to carry out
such work, to receive and expend Federal, State and local funds
for such work, to contract with the United States of America for
the purpose of receiving a grant under Section 3 of the Urban
Mass Transportation Act of 1964 as amended, and to do any and
all other things necessary for the successful completion of the
Project.
To the best of our knowledge there are no legal or governmental
proceedings pending or threatened which might adversely affect
the City' s authority to proceed with such Project.
