Resolution No. 2021-04 Requesting MSAS Funds
Resolution No. 2021 - 04
Requesting Municipal State Aid System Construction Funds for Other Local Use
Whereas, the City of Fridley receives Municipal State Aid System (MSAS) funds for construction and
maintaining 20% of its City streets; and
Whereas, 22.9 MSAS miles are currently authorized and have been improved to State Aid standards
and most are in an adequate condition that they do not have needs other than additional surfacing;
and
Whereas, the City currently has 88.7 miles of local streets including some mileage that requires
maintenance and upgrades; and
Whereas, it is authorized by Minnesota Rules 8820.1800 to use part of the MSAS construction
appropriation of our City's State Aid allocation on local streets not on the approved State Aid
system; and
Whereas, it is proposed to systematically resurface these streets and enhance multimodal access,
upgrade the storm sewer system for improved drainage and water quality, and provide additional
strength to the streets for traffic survivability; and
Whereas, it is proposed to use a portion of the City's population allocation funds to upgrade local
streets; and
Whereas, the City of Fridley has identified the MSAS and local (non-MSAS) uses for inclusion as
listed in this resolution; and
Whereas, the MSAS and local streets associated with Street Improvement Project No. ST2021-02
requires surface repair and drainage adjustments; and
Whereas, the City indemnifies, saves and holds harmless the State of Minnesota and its agents and
employees from claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or by reason or
matter related to constructing the local streets as designed; and
Whereas, the City further agrees to defend at its sole cost any claims arising as a result of
constructing the local streets; and
Whereas, the final approval of the State Aid for Local Transportation Division is therefore
required.

Resolution No. 2021-04.
