INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITV (WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHV):
The Eazl Sffeet Bridge will not be consuucted in 1995 and the Shepard Rd. project will be increased in 1996-1998. Mounds Blvd and
Wabasha Street Bridge projecis are in the 1995 budget, but require additional MSA funding. The St Paul Avenue project is in the approved
CSSP program in 1995, but a larger scope project is being proposed. The remaining MSA funding not needed for Earl Street Bzidge is
being proposed to be transfeaed to the MSA Contingency. Also, the MSA Conungency is being reduced to reflect the actual MSA to be
received in 1995.
ADVANTAGESIFAPPROVED:
The Mounds Blvd, Wabasha St Bridge and St Paul Avenue projects will have sufficient budgets for construcuon in 1995. Earl Street Bridge
budget will be reduced to reflect actual dollazs to be spent in 1995.
�ISA[IVANTAGES IF APPR�VEO:
None.
DISADVANTAGES IF NOT APPROVED:
There will not be sufficient budgets to construct the Mounds Blvd. Wabasha St Bridge and St Paul Avenue projecis. Eazl Street Bridge will
be overbudgeted for 1995.

I appreciate your willingness to introduce, under suspension, the attached amendment.
While a budget amendment for the CSSP projects had been winding its way through the
regular process, the fast-breaking Wabasha Bridge project requires immediate action if we
are to take advantage of federal funding.
The budget amendment you have before you is a major change in the 1995 Capital
budget. These changes are the result of: i) an opportunity to fund Wabasha Bridge that
presented itself only recentiy; and 2) needs we were in the process of identifying during
last year's budget process to finish CSSP on time and in budget. By matching the funds
from delayed projects to our needs and opportunities, we can balance the MSA budget.
The first opportunity is the unexpected early breakthrough on the federal funds fior the
construction of the Wabasha bridge. We did not expect this funding until 1998. These
federal funds ($11.9 million), matched with an anticipated $3 miilion from the state, will
enab{e us to fund the construction of the bridge. There is a catch: we need to have the
design of the bridge submitted to the state for approval on September 26, 1995, to receive
these federal and state funds. This design is complex--$2 million complex!-- and in order
for our consultants to start and complete the design, we must contract with them
immediately.
The budget amendment transfers $1.2 million of MSA funds from Shepard Road to the
bridge so we can award the design contract. There is still a shortfall in the funding of the
design of about $1 million; we are working on identifying the remaining funding. The
additional funding will be needed by early summer of 1995. We realize that this is a major
expenditure of resources, but this bridge must be replaced at some time in the near future.
tf we act now, we can use federal and state funds. The good news is that through the
difigence of the Wabasha Bridge Task Force and leon Pearson, the cost estimate for the
bridge is now $24 mil4ion, compared to an original estimate of $35 million.

The funds be+ng transferred from Shepard Road will not be needed until 1997 and 1998,
when the proposed Science Museum will require the completion of the road. The funding
of the remainder of Shepard Road, as well as a number of other projects, is an issue that
we have yet to resolve. MSA (gas tax) funding has been flat or slightly declining, not
keeping pace with our needs. Funding ongoing MSA projects is an issue, irregardless of
Wabasha bridge.
The resolution also funds the construction oE Mounds Boulevard and St. Paul Avenue. Both
of these streets will be torn up this summer for sewer construction. It is prudent to
reconstruct the streets with sewer construction now rather than repair them temporarily. In
an effort to minimize property tax support of capital projects, CIB funding for Mounds
Boulevard was eliminated, and we pursued MSA funding instead. The St. Paul Avenue
sewer project was originaily funded only to repair the street. As the project moved through
the design process, it became clear that the disruption of this concrete street would be
significant, and it would be fiscafly prudeni to complete the paving now.
The funding for these opportunities is to come partially from Shepard Road funds and the
remainder from the delay of the Earl Street bridge. The Earl Street bridge federal funding
has been delayed until at least 1998.
The final change is there is an increase in 1995 MSA contingency. This increase is the
result of potential cha�ges in the final costs of the Snefling-Marshall bridge and roadway
reconstruction, which the Minnesota Department of Transportation administered. We have
disputed their final accounting which shows us owing $400,000 more than we had
budgeted. We are working hard to resolve this. Early indications are the amount will be
less, but prudence dictates setting these funds aside in contingency. Further, our early
projects for CSSP completion show us to be within (pius or minus) one miflion dollars.
(Our last project had only one bidder; the bid was $1 million over the consulting engineer's
estimate.) This contingency provides a funding source to complete GSSP. Funds for this
are from the Earl Street bridge project.
