PRESENT: Mayor Don Peterson, Council members Tom Fay, Ron Klecker, LeRoy Berning
and John Vetsch, City Engineer Mark Kasma, City Administrator Larry Kruse, Jaime Sloboden,
S.E.H. Associate, and City Clerk Bridget Miller
S.E.H. Engineer Jaime Sloboden reviewed the 1-94 2C layout earlier approved by the City
Council.
Mr. Sloboden reviewed the scope of work remaining as follows:
1. Freeway Study Report
2. Interstate Access Request
3. Environmental Request
Mr. Sloboden estimated 3-4 weeks to complete the information. S.E.H. would get a draft ofthe
report, along with an updated layout to City Administrator Kruse.
Mr. Sloboden stated they would work with the City of St. Michael to find out what schedule they
propose for Naber Avenue and 1-94.
At the request of City Administrator Kruse, Mr. Sloboden prepared a proposal to modifY 2C to
include a separate express lane separate from 1-94 under CSAH 19 to allow traffic to exit directly
to CSAH 37 and not go through a traffic signal on CSAH 19. Sloboden identified the additional
engineering work would cost $15,000 to complete the traffic modeling, revise report and
additional scope of work. Sloboden stated that the MNDOT staff appeared positive regarding the
modification and stated it was more of a funding issue. Being Albertville was proposing to pay
for the additional $1.5 to $2 million dollar cost, the state was pretty satisfied, as the modification
still only contains one exit from 1-94.
City Council clarified they were in favor of a part of Option 2C and part of Option 2D.
Council thought it was part of Option 2C and part of Option 3D. Staff will look into which two
(2) parts the Council decided to put together for the new Option 4.
Staff contacted S.E.H., it is part of Option 2C and part of Option 3 which will be combined to
make the new Option 4.
