end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the City of Lakeville for the North Creek Greenway: East Lake North segment and trailhead.
SUMMARY
By Resolution No. 11-517 (October 18, 2011), the North Creek Greenway Master Plan (Master Plan) was adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners. The master plan established a preferred alignment from Lebanon Hills Regional Park to downtown Farmington. The proposed JPA will fund the reconstruction of approximately 3,000 feet of trail to regional greenway standards and construction of a trailhead/park building within East Lake Park (Attachment: Project Map). The City of Lakeville has facilitated the design, bidding, and construction management of the project with Dakota County staff providing design review. Total project construction is $3,704,486, with the Dakota County portion estimated at $942,000, which includes project delivery, trail construction, overlooks and contribution of $400,000 towards park building that will serve as a major regional greenway trailhead. This greenway collaborative project is consistent with current cost-share practices for city-led projects (Attachment: Area Map).
