Comm. Minutes--November 18, 1991 i76 West Fargo improves Sheyenne Street. The City of West Fargo will be the lead agency and they need to make application for state and federal funding. Mr. Eckert said the State of North Dakota is doing the engineering and bidding because of interchange work in this area. Mr. Shannon suggested taking out language in paragraph 3 of the proposed agreement which indicates the project will be shared on a "pro rata basis." Mr. Wieland said the County will not be paying for work beyond the rural section, but paragraph 3 refers to dividing the cost of replacing the bridge since the City of West Fargo annemed to the center of the river. If the City of West Fargo wants to have lighting, curb and gutter beyond the city limits, it will be their obligation and at their expense. Commissioners recommended referring the intent of this proposed agreement to State's Attorney John Golf to draft a document, in the most expedient manner as possible, that protects county interests.
