HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.h Date: Item No. RESOLUTION REQUESTING ADVANCE OF MUNICIPAL STATE AID CONSTRUCTION FUNDS Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution requesting the advance of Municipal State Aid Construction funds. Overview The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Office of State Aid is requesting a resolution to advance Municipal State Aid (MSA) Street Funds in 2017. The City’s current State Aid Construction Fund has a $324,281 balance and a 2017 Bond Principal payment obligation of $950,000. The advance in funding will be used to pay the $625,719 balance of the City’s 2017 Bond Principal payment. The advance will be repaid from future allocations to the City’s State Aid Construction Fund. Primary Issues to Consider • An advance is limited to five times the City’s last construction allotment or $4,000,000, whichever is less, and reduced by any similar outstanding obligations and/or bond principal payments. The City’s maximum advance eligibility in 2017 is $625,719. Supporting Information • None.
