Resolution No. 2022-08
Requesting Municipal State Aid System Construction Funds For Other Local Use
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 MSAS standards
and most are in an adequate condition that 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 part 8820.1800 to use part of the MSAS
construction appropriation of the 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:
Street Rehabilitation Project ST2021-01;
Street Rehabilitation Project ST2022-01;
53rd Avenue Roundabout Safety Project 406-31-21521;
Traffic Signal Installation/Replacements Project 406-31-22005;

Road Diets and One-Way Street Conversions Project 406-31-22804; and
Resolution No. 2022-08 Page 2
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 requests the release of MSAS funds
for the upgrade and reconstruction of City municipal streets, identified as Street Improvement
Project ST2021-01 and Street Improvement Project ST2022-01.
th
