ralating to streets and searers primarlly, �4d csnount to mm�roximateiy
$211 ,401 .40. This is a very prellminary est;icate pr�pared by th� Flousit�g
Authorlty and would be sub�ject to considerabie revision upon mo�e detailed
plans and estimating. These are funds rvhlch must be found and actually
axpendad on these iasprovements.
Financing has been worked out to a fairly substantial degree. You
wiil recall that the 1953 Bond Issue provided for an i�prove�+c�nt on Rondo
Avenue. The Housing Authority claimed a non-cash grant-in-aid for thls
contemQlated improvement. With the a�vent of tha freeway progr�, th•
State and the Bureau of Public Roads agreed to take on the Rondo proJect
as a frontage road, thus meking it unnecoasary for th� City to construtt
this particUlar irnprovement. Nowever. withdrawal of these funds frora the
Rondo project was sosn�what of a problem inasmuch as the St. Paul Hcustng b
Redevelopraent Authority had already clai�ed a non-cash grant-in-ald. Con-
sequently, a three-way agreement Nas negotTated betwreen tbe Highway Depart-
ment, the City of St. Paul and the St. Paul Nous�ng & Rede�oalap�aant Aathori�ty
whereby these city funds were withdrawn fraa this proposed �proJect and placed
in a special unallocated reserve fund with the understandi�ig that Lhey e�ould
be used for phystcal Trnprover�ents in and around one or ar�other of the urban
renewal projects. it was contemplated at the time that this fund would be
used for the necessary physical improve�ents in the Cathedral Area which ls
close by to the Rondo Ave. proJect. Pursuant to a recosra�aendat(on of this
Department and the Council Bond Acfvlsory Corrsaittee, the Citq Counctl on
October 31 , 1962, under Resolution C. F. 209773, transfarr�d funds from the
Roncb pro�ect 200 ST-5 to a special unallocated reserve for the �ford�rsntioned
purpose. 1"he amount available is approxiraately $17Q,OQ0.00. Co�aring this
to the current estlmate for city expenditures of $211 ,000.00 it �ay be seen
� that the financing for the propased Cathedrai Area ia�rovas�ents is substanttaily
avallabie� but that some $40,000.00 of additional funds wili be requJrad.
Inasmuch as this work will extend over perhaps two or three years, it is a�
belief that these additiona) funds can be assigned froa� one or ano�her afi
the other aid funds or from the budget fund, City Sharo of Local I�aprovsna�nts.
The exact plans and estimates rea�ain to be worked out, but It �ppsars that
the general plan of physTcal improveaaents is sattsfectory in tbn prolt�ainary
plan and that the financing is wtthin tha reala of Rossibillty. It is,
therefore, my recarmendation that ff this s�atter comes bofore tha Ca�ncil
today, that it be approved insofar as� the Dapartment of Public W�rks ts
corrcerned with the understanding that the present pTans are preliminary and
wI 1 1 be sub j e�t to ref i nec�ent.
Yours very tru{y�
