AUTHORIZATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY Councilman Leary 10/18/83 Page -13- 3 ways between Broomfield, Louisville, and the County. Louisville does have a verbal agreement: for 1/3rd of our share from CTCi also Director Kasch has had discussions with STC representatives and hopefully they will offer a 1/3rd participation. As part of the study there would be staff members from all the cities and the County, and designees from the private side, ie. CTC, STC, and whomever Broomfield gets - perhaps Interlocken, who would serve as a coordinating committee. Our recommendation is to authorize the Mayor to obligate us signing the agreement and the money come from the Major Thoroughfare Fund. Councilman Cussen moved, Mayor Meier seconded that the Mayor be authorized to sign the agreement for the 96th St. Interchange feasibility study, and the City commit itself to $22,500.00 to be taken from the Major Thoroughfare Fund. money Wished assurance that when the private/comes in from CTC and STC it would be put back into the Major Thoroughfare Fund. Also commented in terms of the analysis that was done by the Highway Dept. on the Superior interchange and the impact on U.S. 36 with the Homart Development, it appears that a significant amount of employment was shifted or attri- buted to that site, how is that going to im- pact this analysis, given the fact that people can't be shifted back and forth for analysis purposes. Director Kasch stated that the traffic study performed by Centennial Engineering took into account the proposed interchange and they were able to assume the type of traffic that would take place between the two. There are 2 technical representatives from the State High- way Dept. on the study committee, and they plan to interject in their modeling some more detailed figures so that we can understand the inter-relation between the two. We know for sure that 96th is going to help alleviate the problem between Broomfield and Boulder be- cause of the alternate routes that are currently being taken. What the State Highway Dept. is interested in is how long it is before the day will come when they have to 6-lane that.
