Administrator Amy Finch gave a brief update that stated, our City is eligible for a state -funded grant to replace our Airport REILS.

(b) Permittee will provide to MnDOT a certified copy of the resolution from the applicable governmental body authorizing the Permittee’s use of the Facility and Area for the additional term.

If Permittee’s written request to extend the term is not timely given, the LUP will expire on the Expiration Date.

Upon completion of the construction of the Facility, the Permittee shall restore all disturbed slopes and ditches in such manner that drainage, erosion control and aesthetics are perpetuated.

The Permittee shall preserve and protect all existing survey monuments and utilities located on the lands covered by this LUP at no expense to MnDOT and it shall be the responsibility of the Permittee to call the Gopher State One Call System at 1-800-252-1166 at least 48 hours prior to performing any excavation.

consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that in the event facilities are constructed, maintained, or otherwise operated on the property described in this permit for a purpose for which a MnDOT activity, facility, or program is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, the Permittee will maintain and operate such facilities and services in compliance with all requirements imposed by the Acts and Regulations relative to nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),(as may be amended) such that no person on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, income-level, or limited English proficiency (LEP) will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities.

8. SAFETY. MnDOT shall retain the right to limit and/or restrict any activity, including the time and
