Mayor Peterson called the Albertville City Council Workshop to order at 6:00 p.m.
I-94 PHASING PLAN
The purpose of the workshop was to review the I-94 Phase I Plan, seek City Council concurrence
on the preferred option and strategize funding. Also authorize City staff to begin discussions
with Otsego staff to see if the two cities can reach agreement on a design and funding.
S.E.H. Engineer Jamision Sloboden reviewed the proposed plan showing how the Interchange
will function. The cost is estimated to be $14.6 million dollars. Throughout the presentation
Sloboden cautioned the Council regarding the preliminary estimates stating a number of other
larger metropolitan projects were coming in way above the engineer's estimate. In some cases
the increases are 100% over the engineer estimate.
Sloboden stated that the Environmental Assessment and Interstate Access Request is 95%
complete. Sloboden also mentioned the possible need for wetland mitigation along the lake. The
full build design is estimated to cost $21 to $25 million dollars, with the first phase estimated to
cost $11 to $15 million dollars.
Preliminarily Otsego staff is saying this option appears to meet their needs.
The Council unanimously supported the proposed Phase I Plan. Council directed staff to begin
negotiating with Otsego staff to see if they are willing to support the plan and financially
contribute towards its construction. S.E.H. was directed to continue to complete the EA and IAR.
