Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director explained the purpose of the System or Supe~qYsory Control and
Data Acquisition System (SCADA) is to monitor the lift stations for problems or outages. The current
system is over 20 years old, and is only an alarm system. It reports many ghost alarms, replacement
parts must be fabricated, and our radio fi'equency will no longer be licensed. Repair costs in 2003
reached $25,000. A new system would give elect?chic reports. This item is budgeted through the water
and sewer fimds. Originally, a consultant was to be hired to write the specifications, but staff is now
recommending doing the plans and specs in-house. IVyckoff asked what difference the average person
would see. Hansen stated no difference, but the Public Works Department should see a decrease in costs
after the initial six month start up period. This system should last twenty years and would be
upgradeable, if necessa~7. Nawrocld questioned if there would be a reduction in staff. Hansen stated no,
but a reduction in expenses due to repairs and overtime worked. Hansen stated that 80percent of the
ghost alarms were during off houra.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
Other Business
Adopt Resolution No. 2004-04, being a resolution for the Columbia Heights City Council to loan the
Economic Development Authority $600,000 for purchase of the NEI building at 825 41 st Avenue
Streetar requested Council action to loan the Economic Development Authority (EDA) $600,000 to
st
purchase the 5.5 acre NEI property at 825 41 Avenue. Streetar stated the history leading to the
purchase consideration. February 6t~' is the final date to co~rm the purchase agreement. The EDA has
discussed abatement and environmental costs, which would be approximately $550, O00 plus $8, O00 for
fitel oil tank removal. The asbestos removal is an estimate, as we were not allowed to get into the walls.
Prosource Technologies has recommended the EDA enroll in the VPIC program, which removes
liability if fitrther contamination is discovered and allows application to the Petro Fund if
contamination is found.
Streetar indicated that the total cost to acquire and clear the property would be $1,158,000. The City
Council has approved grant submittal to Anoka County for $300,000 with a City match orS100, 000

which shows that the EDA has acted wisely and acquired this property for a very good price. A tax
h~crement finance (TIF) report indicates the property meets the necessary qualification requirements.
An engineering report completed indicates that the building is substandard and wouM require
approximately $1.9 million to be brought up to code. The term of the loan to the EDA wouM be up to 15
years, with an interest rate of four percent, which is dete~,nined by State Statutes. If TIF is not used,
these terms could be modified by Resolution.
Fehst indicated &at Item number 7 on the Resohttion clarifies &at the City may amend the terms of the
loan at any time, by resolution.
Williams questioned the EDA versus the City purchasing the property. Streetar stated that the EDA
possesses the power to develop.
Fehst stated this Resolution wouM approve the transfer of funds fi'om the Capital Improvement
Development Fund 390: the Four Cities Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds to Fund 420for
purchase the property. Fehst explained the Mortgage Revenue Bonds Fund. The fitnds would be paid
back by TIF. Streetar stated payback wouM also be through sale of the land, development or any other
source received. Wyckoff stated that use of the property has not been determined. She indicated the
desire to save some of the fi'ont brick and balusters. Leveling the site would make it more desirable for
development.
Nawrocki stated that he has no desire to keep parts of the building because of the associated costs, and
that it is u~ortunate the process was expedited, avoiding the hearing process. Fehst suggested
amending the motion to include in the Resohttion where the fimds wouM come from.
Nawroch' questioned Section 6 of the Resolution and when the loan wouM be repaid. Fehst indicated
this is the requirement if TIF is used for the property. If development were to be a public building, there
would be no TIF and fimds would need to come fi'om other place. Nawrocki questioned estimated
demolition. Streetar stated between April and August 2004, as demolition wouM be with Community
Development grant fimds and could not be used until after July. Nawrocki referred to securing the
building. Streetar stated there is a security system in place, and referred to heating the building.

1. The City authorizes a loan to the Authority in the maximum amount of $600,000 (the "Loan"), to be drawn
from Fund 420 - Capital Improvement Development Fund and Fund 390 - Four Cities Single Family Mortgage Revenue
Bonds, which are funds available to the City for such purposes. Such amount will be made available to the Authority at or
before the closing on acquisition of the N-E1 Property by the Authority.
2. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan bears interest at the rate of 4.0 percent per annum. Interest
accmes from the date of disbursement from the identified funds in order to acquire the NEI Property.
3. The Loan is payable from tax increments generated from a TIF District to be created (if any), from any
other tax increments legally available for such purposes, from proceeds of the sale of the NEI Property (if any), and from any
other revenues available to the Authority. Principal and interest ("Payments") shall be made at the times any revenue sources
are available to make installment payments. The outstanding balance of principal and interest is due on the later of 15 years
after the date of the furst disbursement, or the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District (if created). Payments
will be credited to the respective fund from which the Loan was drawn. All payments shall be applied first to accrued
interest, and then to unpaid principal of the Loan.
4. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under the Loan are pre-payable in whole or in part at any
time by the Authority without premium or penalty.
5. To the extent the Loan is paid with tax increment, the Loan is evidence of an interfund loan in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, subd. 7 and is a limited obligation payable solely from the revenues pledged to the
payment hereof under this resolution. This Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general
obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority. Neither
the State of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Loan
or other costs incident hereto except out of the pledged revenues, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of
the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Loan or other costs incident hereto.
6. If the NEI Property acquired with proceeds of the Loan is used for a purpose that is a prohibited
expenditure of tax increment under the TIF Act (including without limitation a building to be used primarily for conducting
the business of the City, a public or private facility used for social or recreational purposes, or a public facility used for
conference purposes), then the Authority may not make any payments on the Loan from tax increments. If the NE1 Property
is used for any public facility, the City and Authority will mutually determine how and whether the Loan is to be repaid.
7. The City may amend the terms of this Loan at any time by resolution of the City Council, including a
determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to the extent permissible under law.
8. The City Council authorizes and directs staff to take all actions and execute any collateral documents
necessary to can'y out the intent of this resolution.

fault of the City. We were maintaining the lines at the industTtv standard and did help with some
clean up. The City could do something, if they wish to. The owner estimates damage at $500. Fehst
suggested discussion at a City Council Work Session. Wyckoff questioned what the damage was and
if the homeowners insurance would pay for the repair. Fehst stated there is a washout under the
garage and as it is not part of the living area wouM not be covered by insurance. Wyckoff asked that
Nawrocta' bring repair details to the Work Session.

the fitnds approved for purchase of the property. Yehle indicated his approval for development of the
industrial park, but stated that those who created the mess should have to pay for the clean up. Fehst stated

A. REQUEST TO MODII~Y STREET STRIPING IN FRONT OF 1605 37TM
AVENUE.
This issue was tabled at the November meeting pending further review by
the Traffic Commission.
Mr. Earnest Miller of 1605 37th Avenue has requested that the parking in
front of his house be reinstated. At the November meeting, Mr. Miller
indicated that his visitors are older and do not want to pull into his
driveway or park across the street. He stated that he was not consulted in
the elimination of the parking and he would appreciate having it back.
Earher this summer a Columbia Heights Pohce Officer observed a traffic
movement conflict on west bound 37th Avenue at Johnson Street. The
conflict was caused by left-turning traffic blocking thru-traffic. A taper
was added to the westbound lane on 37th Avemte at Johnson Street to
provide two lanes of traffic at the light. This allows tlm~ and right-turning
traffic to maneuver around any left-tm-ning traffic. As 37th Avenue is a
heavily traveled street (9,450 A.D.T.), the extra lane seems to provide
smoother traffic flow. The taper cannot safely be moved or made any
shorter.

Staff is sensitive to parking concerns. Mr. Miller has the option ofparldng
further east on 37th Avenue or on the south side of 37th Avenue. You may
recall, the parking lane on the north side of 37th Avenue was reestablished
in the fall of 2002. Prior to that, the north side was designated as "no
parking" for many years.
Commission members reviewed the intersection during morning and early
evening hours. The commissioners felt the tm-n lane was not needed with
the amount of traffic and the turning movements. During the various
observation times, no one needed to wait for more than one cycle to
advance through the intersection. The right lane is not being used for just
right turns and to get around left turning traffic, cars in the right lane are
also trying to beat out cars in the left lane and then filter back into traffic.
If the right lane was removed, Chief Johnson requested a sign be installed
stating "No Driving on Shoulder" so that all traffic would need to go
straight or turn from the driving lane, not the parking lane.
Motion by Carlson, second by Sturdevant to elh2inate the traffic lane and
install ''No Driving on Shoulder" sign. Motion carried unanimously.

OLD BUSY_NESS
HUSET PARK MASTER PLAN
Public Works DirectoffCity Engineer, Kevin Hansen, updated the Commission of the
progress for the Huset Park Master Plan. Following the December 2003 meeting with the
Park and Recreation Commission, a meeting was held with Community Development,
Bonestroo and Hoisington Koegler, to review the ch'aft Master Park Plan and fit with the
Industrial Plan. Based upon this meeting, additional alternatives will be prepared for the
Huset Park Master Plan. Some topics of conversation were the south parldng lot in
relationship to the redevelopment that will be talcing place across the street from that site;
that the cmTent roadway layout does not contain a continuous parkway, as described in
the Industrial Study; and providing additional detail on stormwater ponding described in
the Industrial Study; and providing additional detail on stormwater ponding that would
P. 19

need to be obtained to insure surface water management; and the possibility of putting the
site amenities where the t-ball field is cun'ently shown on plan. Alternatives will be
presented at a public meeting to obtain feedback and input for a final plan to be presented
to the City Council for consideration.
Commission Member, Marsha Stroik, questioned what development would be talcing
place south of Huset Park west. Kevin Hansen stated that the City performed an
Industrial Study on that area and determined that the highest and best usage for that
pm-ticular site would be transferred to medium to high density residential. Townhomes
and/or condominiums would be built on that site, anticipating 240 units. Site preparation
will be required prior to any redevelopment, including clean up of the site due to heavy
soil contamination. Analysis previously performed (1989) on Huset Park showed that
soil issues would not affect athletic field construction of Huset Park.
Kevin Hansen stated that the sale of land of the existing parlcing lot off of Quincy would
be one way to generate funds for the development of Huset Park. The existing parlcing
lot would be divided into 4 or 5 parcels of land and would be sold for $4-60k per lot.
Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, questioned if park land could be sold without
replacing the park land. Kevin Hansen noted that it would be determined on how the
existing park land was originally acquired. Additional land that the ponds would be
placed could offset the sale of the pm'lcing lot. Eileen Evans asked about the selling
options for Lomianlci south. Kevin Hansen stated that at this time, he is not aware of
anytNng occurring or being discussed for the sale of that land.
Eileen Evans questioned if the new townhomes that are to be built south of Huset Park
west would have children. It is unknown at this point. Marsha Stroik asked if the
townhomes would be section eight. Kevin Hansen stated it would not be section eight.
Commission Member, David Payne, asked the time frame of Huset Park Master Plan.
Kevin Hansen stated the next step would be determining where the funds would come
from. It was also noted that the park would be unusable for one year. Commission
Member, Gary Mayer, asked where the Columbia Heights Jamboree would be moved.
Kevin Hansen stated that the City owns NEI, which may be a possible location.
Gary Mayer asked the likelihood of the Huset Park Master Plan going through. Kevin
Hansen stated all of the effort would not have been put into this project if he felt it some
level of redevelopment would not occur. Due to the cost and related funding issues, it is
likely that Park redevelopment would occur over time, and not in one fell swoop. A
public meeting with the Huset Park Neighborhood group will be held in February or
March of 2004 and their comments and input will be brought to the next Park and
Recreation Commission meeting for further discussion.

North Suburban Regional Mutual Aid
Association Ageement DATE: February 4, 2004 DATE:
NO:
BACKGROUND:
In 1980 mad also in 1982, the City of Colmnbia Heights signed an agreement with the North Suburban Regional
Mutual Aid Association. This Association was established to offer resources to neighboring departments should
large or small events occur. Back in the early 1980's, the North Suburban Regional Mutual Aid Association had
17 departments in its membership. Two weeks ago the city of New Bhghton became the 33rd Department to
become a member of our organization.
Two years ago, the Executive Board directed a desiguated group to evaluate the mutual aid agreement and to pay
specific attention to the charging clause. After several months of research this committee presented the
membership with the new document at which time the organization unal~imously adopted the new agreement.
This language is taken fi:om model League of Mi~mesota Cities language. It also mhnics past agreement language,
which we have adopted by resolution in past years. To date, 21 of the 33 cities have signed the agreement. The
City of Columbia Heights Attorney Jim Hoeft has reviewed the agreement and concurred that this agreement is
sound.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Waive the Reading of Resolution No.2004-08, there being Ample
Copies Available to the Public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Adopt Resolution No. 2004-08, being a Resolution Authorizing a Joint
Cooperative Agreement for Use of Fire Personnel and Equipment with the North Suburban Regional Mutual Aid
Association.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

BY: K. Hanse~
DATE: 2/3/0~
CITY MANAGER
DATE:
NOTE: Please bring a copy of the Engineering Report that was distributed at the February 2® Work Session.
Background:
From the June 24 and 25th storm events of 2003, the property owners of the apartments on Tyler Place NE, between 44a and 43-1/2
Avenues came before the City Council with issues of surface water flooding. Staff was directed to review the existing conditions
and report to the Council of any possible changes irt operation or physical improvements that would improve or alleviate the
flooding in this area.
Analysis/Conclusions:
This was an area that was investigated in 1998/99, as a result of the 1997 storms that caused flooding in localized areas of the City.
The recommendation at that time was to replace a 48 inch CMP pipe that hms in the rem' yards, identified on the attached map
between MH's 3 to 6. Due to the existing conditions in the rear yards and encroachments in the easement area, the replacement
option of this pipe was not pursued with other projects in 2000. The pipe capacity was restored to close to original by removing
debris and sediment in the bottom of the pipe throughout this segment. Other altematives would then be reviewed when this area
came up again in the Street Rehabilitation Zone work.
Much of the background data was already assembled into a computer program and for this analysis an updated surface water model
was created. The attached report by the City of Columbia Heights consultant of Bonestroo describes the existing conditions and the
map depicts the area reviewed for this analysis. For the area in question, the updated analysis identified that the existing level of
service is between the 2 and 5-year storm event. Various storm sewer improvements were considered and a summary of those is as
follows:
1. Maulpulafion of the Outlet control of Labelle Pond: Labetle Pond discharges through this system at a control stmctm'e in the
parking lot off of 42nd Avelme. Shutting offthis outlet has no impact on flooding conditions downstream and is not
recommended.
2. Replace the 48-inch Storm Sewer from MI-Ps 3-6: Replacing this pipe with a pipe material that has better hych'aulic
characteristics would result in a 0.2 foot drop in the high water mark at the low point just east of MH 3. This is considered
insign/ficant and is not recommended due to the cost, difficulty of access, and encroachment into the easement area in the rear
yards.
Long Radius Bends: The direction of flow in a gravity piping network is most commonly changed fln-ough a manhole. This
also provides access for cleaning and inspection, but decreases the efficiency of the overall system by increasing the head loss.
An alternative to this, but not common, is using long radins bends to tmu the flow dkection in pipe. This provides an
approximate 0.4 foot drop in the high water mark at the low point just east of MH 3.
Rerouting Pipe on 43-1/2 Avenue: This option looks at placing a new 48-inch pipe in 43-1/2 from MH 7 and routing the
upstream drainage west to Tyler Place and north on Tyler Place to the existing MH 3. This actually did not result in any
change in the conditions at the low point east ofMH 3 dne to pipe backflow in the system.
Property Acquisition and Creation of a Pond: This scenario would remove the properties that flood and the creation of an
overflbw area br pond to accmrauodate the backflow fi'om the piping system. A total of 4-7 properties would need to be
removed in thig area.

The analysis concludes that there is no single piping solution that will alleviate the flooding at the low point for the 100-storm
event. Staffrecommends the installation of long radius bends and 800 feet of new storm sewer pipe from MH 3 to Central Avenue
during the Street Rehabilitation Zone work, in Zone 1.

ITEM: APPROVE REMOVAL OF LANE STRIPING IN
FRONT OF 1605 37TM AVENUE
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
PUBLIC WORKS
BY: K. Hanse~
DATE: 2/4/04~_/
CITY MANAGER
DATE:
Background
37~h Avenue is the municipal boundary for the cities of Coltunbia Heights and Minneapolis. The existing roadway is wide enough to
accommodate fora' lanes of traffic (with no shoulder) or two lanes and parking lanes on each side. Several years ago, Mim~eapolis
striped the south half for a parking lane, providing a single east bound lane. In the fall of 2002, the City of Colmnbia Heights added
new striping to create a parlcing lane on the north side of37~ Avenue from Hart Boulevard to Tyler Street. Prior to that, the north
side was designated as "no parking" for many years, and used as a travel lane.
Earlier this past summer a Columbia Heights Police Officer observed a traffic movement conflict on westbound 37th Avenue at the
intersection of Johnson Street. The conflict was caused by westbound left-turning traffic blocking thru-traffic. Vehicles choosing
to continue westbound would use the parking lane as a bypass tl~'ough the intersection. Engineering staff concurred and a taper
was added to the westbound lane on 37~ Avenue at Johnson Street to provide two lanes of traffic at the light, providing a
designated by-pass lane. A consequence oft/tis channel/zation elin]Lnated the parking in front of 1605 37th Avenue. It should be
noted that the taper as striped cannot be safely moved or made shorter (toward the intersection).
Analysis/Conclusions
At the Traffic Commission of November 3, 2004, the resident at 1605 37th Avenue requested that the parking in front of his house
be reinstated. Staff recommended the striping and parking restrictions remain in place as modified for safety reasons. Traffic
Colrarfission members reviewed the intersection and felt the by-pass lane was not needed with the amount of traffic and the turning
movements. Police Chief Johnson requested a sign be installed stating "No driving on shoulder" so that all traffic would need to go
straight or tarn from the driving lane, not the parking lane, if the right lane was to be removed.
Recommended Motion: Move to remove the striping in front of 1605 37th Avenue to eliminate the traffic lane and install "No
Driving On Shoulder" sign based on a recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR ZONE 6 STREET SEAL DATE: 2/3/04 DATE:
COATING AND ORDERING THE PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT HEARING
Note: Please bring Feasibility Report distributed at the 2/2/04 Work Session.
Background:
Staffhas developed prelim/nary plans and prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone 6 of the Seal Coat Program. The Zone 6 area is
bounded by Central Avenue on the east, 40th Avenue on the south, University Avenue Service Drive on the west and 44th Avenue
on the north. Zone 6 streets not included in the recent rehabilitation program will be seal coated, except University Avenue Service
Drive. Also included in the program is 45m Avenue from University Avenue Service Drive to 5th Street.
Analysis/Conclusions:
The seal coat program helps preserve and maintain existing bituminous streets in good driving condition. Particular issues are
summarized below:
1. Assessment Methodology:
The Seal Coating project will be assessed on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. Avenue assessments are 1/3 of the street rate
extending ½ block in either direction of the Avenue. Tltis assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their
property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. The estimated unit cost assessment is $ 207.00 per Street parcel and $ 69.00 per
Avenue parcel.
2. Financing:
The estimated construction cost is $132,480. Seal coating is 100% assessed.
3. Meeting dates:
Staffis recommending the public improvement hearing be scheduled before the hearing for Zone 7A, on March 9, 2004.
By agreement previously approved by City Council, the bidding process will be handled by the City of Coon Rapids as part of a
seven (7) City JPA for various street maintenance activities.
Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2004-06, there being ample copies available for the public.
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2004-06 being a Resolution calling for an Improvement Hearing for Zone
6 Street Seal Coating, City Project 0302, on March 9, 2004.

CITY MANAGER
DATE:
NOTE: Please bring Feasibility Report distributed at the 2/2/04 Work Session.
Background:
Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Zone 7A of the Annual Street Rehabilitation
Program. The Zone 7 area is botmded by California Street to University Avenue, from 37th Avenue to 45~ Avenue and University
Avenue Service Road to Central Avenue from 37th Avenue to 40th Avenue. Council amended this area in JanumT of 2004 to Zones
7A and 7B. Zone 7A is bounded by Central Avemte on the east, 37th Avenue on the south, University Avenue Service Road on the
west, and 40th Avenue on the north and 7th Street, from 40a~ Avenue to 42nd Avenue.
Analysis/Conclusions:
Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Street Rehabilitation in Zone 7A. Particular issues are
summarized below:
1. Rehabilitation Strategies:
Three treatment strategies are utilized in the street rehabilitation program: mill and overlay, partial reconstruction, and full
reconstruction. In Zone 7A, full reconstruction is proposed for each street. A fourth strategy, seal coating, is addressed under
separate engineering reports when seal coating work is proposed. Staff utilizes three methods in evaluating the condition of the
street and determining appropriate treatment:
Present physical structure (cross-section):
Each street within Zone 7A has been excavated down to their sub-base material and the individual street segment
cross-sections are catalogued.
Non-destructive strength determination and condition rating:
Bram~ Intertec, a geo-teclmical engineering consultant, conducted tests on all streets at 50-foot intervals with a
dropping weight deflection test. From this, the strength of the road segment is determined. Braun also develops
their own pavement conditions index.
Overall Condition Index (OCI):
Staff also reviews each street segrnent by measuring the type and quantity of each type of cracking in the
pavement. This information along w/th other factors such as drainage and physical structure is used to determine
an "overall condition index".
The results are then used to determi_ne the appropriate treatment to maximize the life of the street.
2. Utilities Replacement:
Utilities have been reviewed in Zone 7A and the attached map represents where staffis reconm~ending replacement. Staff
utilized televising, histo~2~ of water main breaks, age of water main and services, leakage testing (independent testing), and previous
engineering reports in determining utility replacements. Many of the water mains were installed in the early 1900's in this area and
are tmlined wh/ch contributes to water quality problems.

3. Assessment Methodology:
Street Rehabilitation Zones 1, 2 and 3 all followed the existing assessment policies for each area. Under the 1999 Alley
Construction Program and in Zones 4, 5, 6A and 6B, a "unit" assessment methodology was employed rather than using a "front
foot" rate basis. The area of Columbia Heights west of Central Avenue is essentially a block type development pattern with streets
and avenues. The existing assessment policy for this area would involve "street" assessments and "avenue" assessments. The
"street" frontage (typical front of property or where driveway access is) would pay a particular rate for the full frontage for that
type of treatment (mill & overlay or full reconstruction, for example) used on that street. That same parcel would pay a reduced
rate for the avenue for the full frontage.
I am a proponent of uait basis assessment methodology in reconstruction areas as it has been my experience that the court system
has accepted this rationale from an appeal basis. Going to a unit basis methodology would still create different rates for street and
avenue dependent upon the type of treatment the adjacent avenues receive.
4. Scope of Work:
At the January 20th, 2004 work session, staff discussed amending the Zone 7 area. Staff proposed breaking the Zone into two areas,
with the construction completed in successive years (2004 & 2005). The cun'ent policy provides a 50/50 cost share for full
reconstruction streets. Construction on 7th Street from 40a' Avenue to 42na Avenue is also included. This construction was delayed
from 2003 to 2004 for financial considerations.
5. Financing:
Street Rehabilitation Zone 7A:
The estimated construction costs are as follows:
1. Full street reconstruction:
2. Utilities:
$1,341,300.
$**
Project funding is proposed as follows:
Assessments $ 785,400.
lnfrastmctm'e Fund: $ 555,900.

6. Past Assessments:
Zone 7A does not have areas that have had improvements assessed in the last 10 years.
7. Concurrent Projects:
None.
8. Utility Issues:
Staffhas evaluated both the sanitary sewer system and the storm sewer system for maintenance needs or improvements. The
sanitary sewer main system has been cleaned and televised by staff and the reports indicate that overall the condition of the piping
is acceptable with minor corrective recommendations by staff. At some locations, the private sanitary sewer service pipe has
settled away from the connection to the sanitary sewer main. (This connection is commonly referred to as a "wye".) Staffis
estimating approx/mately 20 service connections will need to be replaced. In accordance with the City ordinance this is owned by
the homeowner and will be assessed similar to the water service.
The report does provide deficiencies several catch basins in Zone 7A. Staffis recommending replacement of stmctnres due to
deteriorated block or brick construction. Storm sewer construction is proposed to help alleviate the flooding on Van Buren Street
properties. A relief line will be extended to Huset Park from this with matching grant fimding coming from the DNR.
Staffhas also conducted an age survey o£water service lines in areas where the water main will be replaced and recommends that
sub-standard water service lines be replaced and assessed to the benefiting properties for the actual construction cost.
9. Meeting Dates:
Staff has established the following meeting dates:
