VLAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValte Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada. MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 Joel R. Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us May 5, 2000 Mr. Gerry Urban, City Administrator City of Vadnais Heights 687 East County Road F Vadnais Heights, MN 55127 Re: Twin Lake Pines Joint Powers Agreement Dear Gerry, Here is the revised Joint Powers Agreement that I believe incorporates the changes we agreed to on May 1" relative to the Twin Lake Pines development. The key revisions are as follows: • Construction feasibility for looped water main to be done by September 1 ". It is to incorporate route options, costs, cost allocation, sizing, and timing. (D.3.a.) • Another joint powers agreement to be finalized by November 1" that delineates cost sharing, responsibility for construction, the specific route, and timelines for completion of the loop. (D.3.b.) • Little Canada will be allowed to construct the water main within our jurisdiction to facilitate our need to reconstruct streets in this area in 2001. (As you know, we would like to hold neighborhood meetings this fall to start the improvement process. Obviously, we need Vadnais Heights' help to make this a possibility.) (D.3.b.) • For Little Canada's portion of the system, I have incorporated two options to be considered. One is the "dead" system we discussed. The other is a "live" dead -end running from the Pratt Development to our area. (This would be subject to operational feasibility.) (D.3.b.) • We will pay you for our residents' usage of your water system based upon your rate structure used for your residents. Conversely, you will pay us for your residents' sewer usage in the same manner. Each of us will then bill our own residents for these charges. (G & H) • I also added the other incidental language dealing with your chargeable platting and construction review fees (D.1.b.), the recovery of any unpaid fees (D.1.k.), our responsibility for enforcement of hours of construction (D.1.n), our joint request to Ramsey County to honor our lot assignments to each respective city for regulatory, voting, and tax purposes (D.4.), and your ability to flush the water mains (F). Our City Council will consider the approval of this agreement at our meeting of May 9'", subject to any comments by our City Attorney. Your Council is scheduled to do so on the 16'". If you have any questions in the meantime please let me know. Thanks for your cooperation in resolving this matter. Si erely, Joel C. son Administrator cc: Len Pratt Page 59
