RESOLUTION APPROVED DESIGNATING MnDOT TO PREPARE OFFICIAL
MAP OF 1-494 ALIGNMENT Planner Larsen explained that an official right-of-way
map, prepared by MnDOT and approved by affected cities, has two primary benefits:
1) To identify all additional right-of-ways necessary for reconstruction of 1-494.
This puts cities in a stronger legal position when considering proposed private
development which encroach in the area needed for reconstruction. It would also
provide access to a possible funding source for right-of-way acquisition.
2) To help give proposed 1-494 improvements a higher priority in the
competition for highway construction dollars.
I
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution requiring that MnDOT prepare an official
right-of-way map for the 1-494 corridor.
Following a brief Council discussion, Member Maetzold introduced the following
resolution seconded by Member Faust and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION REQUESTING MnDOT
TO PREPARE AN OFFICIAL RIGHT-OF-WAY MAP
WHEREAS, 1-494 is under the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of
transportation (MnDOT); and
WHEREAS, extensive time, effort, involvement, and funds went into the
preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for that portion of 1-494
between 1-394 and the Minnesota River; and
WHEREAS, a preferred alternative was selected in accordance with said EIS
which sets forth proposed right-of-way needs along its route; and
WHEREAS, limitations on funding have resulted in the delay of the adoption
and final approval as well as implementation of the EIS; and
WHEREAS, the provision of an adequate transportation system is vital to the
state, the Metropolitan area, and particularly to the communities along its route; and
WHEREAS, the lack of an official right-of-way map potentially jeopardizes the
future ability of this vital transportation ‘link being implemented due to
encroachment of development; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of an official right-of-way map would clearly
define the public needs and significantly aid all levels of government in protecting
said needs for the public.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that to properly protect the public
transportation needs along 1-494 between 1-394 and the Minnesota River that an
official right-of-way map along this corridor is extremely important; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that delay in establishing said official right-of-
way map will seriously jeopardize the ability of the public to attain the necessary
transportation needs along this corridor; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Minnesota Department of
Transportation is hereby requested to prepare and establish said official right-of-way
map as soon as possible. I Motion carried on rollcall vote - four ayes.

CITY MANAGER TENDERS RETIREMENTrnESIGNATION Manager Rosland read
his written resignation dated April 6,1998, and asked for acceptance and approval from
the Mayor and City Council:
"On the first of May, I start my 41St year with the City of Edina. Prior to starting in 1958
full time, I worked part-time as I was completing my education upon returning from
the service. My career here obviously has been long and hopefully fruitful.
With this said, I would like to announce my retirement as of October 31,1998. I may
extend to December 31st, depending upon certain retirement decisions I need to make.
However, I should be able to let you know in a short time which date it will be.
I certainly enjoyed my working challenges here at the City of Edina. My interest in the
Park and Recreation field was my major focus for the first 20 years, at which time I had
opportunities to develop many facilities-from golf courses to art centers to historical
Tupa Park. I have spent the last 20 years in Administration where there were many
other things I had the opportunity to develop and accomplish.
However, what I believe is the most important thing I accomplished is the hiring of the
people who really work hard to make this City what it is-people with a twinkle in
their eyes. Some of you have heard me say this before, but I believe it is true. If I have a
legacy, it is the people who I leave behind to continue what I believe is the good work
they have already done in this City. I personally want to thank you and your
predecessors for the opportunity I have had to serve the City of Edina."
Mayor Smith, on behalf of the Council, reluctantly accepted the retirement/resignation
of City Manager Rosland and thanked him for his numerous years of service to the
citizens of Edina.
