Resolution No. 2026-03
Authorizing the Use of Municipal State Aid System Funding
for 2026 Local Improvement Projects
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) 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 MN 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 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 the following projects require repair and
reconstruction of surface and drainage elements:
ADA Improvements Project
2026-01 Street Project
2026-02 Street Project
Safe Routes to School
Traffic Signal Installation/Replacements
Traffic Safety Upgrades (Improvements)
Traffic and Sidewalk Upgrades
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.
Now, therefore it be resolved, that the City of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota,
requests the release of MSAS funds for the upgrade and reconstruction of City municipal
streets.

Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 5 day of January,
