CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee, City Engineer MEETING DATE: October 10, 2016 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 16-129 Accepting and Approving the Grant Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services for the Improvement of Publically Owned Infrastructure VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting Council accept and approve the Grant Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services. BACKGROUND The Minnesota Legislature has appropriated to the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) in the 2014 State Bonding Bill, $2,000,000 for a grant program to be administered by the MCES for the purpose of providing grants to municipalities for capital improvements to public municipal wastewater collection systems to reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration to the MCES metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system (I/I Municipal Grant Program). The City of Lino Lakes has submitted an application to the MCES for grant funding for improvements to the publically owned sanitary sewer system to reduce inflow and infiltration. The MCES has determined to contribute one-half of the actual amount of eligible expenses during the grant activity period up to an estimated Preliminary Minimum Allocation (PMA) of $25,000. In addition to the PMA an additional Final Reimbursement Amount (FRA) will be allocated proportionally to grant participants, determined based on eligible project expenses submitted and available remaining grant program funds. The City of Lino Lakes has incurred eligible expenses while completing the 2015 Street Reconstruction – Shenandoah Area Project. Documentation from the project as well as this proposed resolution will be submitted to the MCES as part of the reimbursement process. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 16-129 Accepting and Approving the Grant Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services for the Improvement of Publically Owned Infrastructure.
