Memorandum of Agreement Between City of Pequot Lakes and Mn/DOT Page 2 of 4 371. The new resolution established a portion of Alternative 4 or an easterly bypass option as the City's new preference. Since the time that the new resolution was passed, Mn/DOT has made an effort to determine the effects that this decision would have on the now completed EIS process as well as construction and right of way costs. It is anticipated that study and development of this proposal will cause a fair amount of rework and extra expenditure of State and Federal funding. The amount of this work will depend on how comparable the final alignment is to Alternative 4 as defined in the DEIS. (See Figures A9 and A10.) Purpose Mn/DOT and the City of Pequot Lakes concur that it is prudent to establish and agree upon these basic guidelines before the bypass alternative receives any further consideration. The purpose of this document is to create a set of guidelines to follow if the reevaluation of Alternative 4 results in Mn/DOT agreeing to a formal change in the preferred alternative. These provisions will minimize the amount of rework, reduce possible project delays and maintain focus on achieving Municipal Consent. This document is not intended to take the place of the existing Mn/DOT Cost Participation Policy or the formal Municipal Agreement, which will be negotiated during the final design phase. Article I — Non-binding Memorandum of Agreement 1. Both parties acknowledge that this Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is a non-binding statement of intent. Any binding agreements executed between the City of Pequot Lakes and Mn/DOT subsequent to this MOA will be made pursuant with written and properly executed and approved agreements. Article II — Mutual Points of Agreement 1. Waste Water Spray Irrigation Site a. The City of Pequot Lakes (City) will be responsible for all costs for the effects that the new TH 371 alternate alignment will have on the city- `, owned waste water spray irrigation site. This includes the relocation, reorientation or other mitigation measures required to maintain the function and capacity needed to serve the City of Pequot Lakes.
