Commission Minutes-October 16, 2000 2210 prior to the application deadline of October 27,2000. Grant funds for 2001 have already been designated for this project. Since the next regularly scheduled County Commission meeting is November 6,2000, which is after the deadline for submitting an application, Mrs. Quick and Mrs. Schneider favored supporting the grant application contingent upon 60% approval from the affected property owners. Mr. Wieland questioned taking any action on the proposed Horace bikeway project until the completion of a County Highway 17 corridor study to be conducted next year by the Metropolitan Council of Governments. Mr. Koenig said this study will probably take the majority of next year to complete, and he is concerned about applying for the second year of grant funds if the project is not done. MOTION, passed Mrs. Schneider moved and Mrs. Quick seconded to authorize the Commission Chairman to sign a grant application for year 2002 Transportation Enhancement Funding for construction of a bikeway adjacent to Cass County Highway 17 north of Horace. The approval is contingent upon receiving a petition prior to October 27, 2000 signed by at least 60% of the landowners in the proposed assessment district requesting that the improvements be completed. Discussion: Mr. Wieland asked about getting two years of grant funds for this project, and Mr. Berndt said it would be a possibility. He said the State would likely need a commitment that the project will be done in 2002 before they would agree to extend the 2001 grant funds. Mr. Koenig said the County Road Advisory Committee discussed funding for the bikeway project, however, the County Commission has not approved cost participation. At the call for the question and on roll call vote, the motion carried with three members voting "Aye"; Mr. Wieland and Mr. Koenig opposing. 15.
