design, construction, maintenance and operation of state and local roads; and

1. That the City of Richfield enter into a Master Partnership Contract with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation.
2. That the proper Mayor and City Manager are authorized to execute such contract

behalf of the City without further approval by this Council, to the extent permitted
by state law or charter.
