The conveyance would take place when the new lift station becomes fully operational and, because the proposed interceptor and lift station facilities will have been fully depreciated by the time the new lift station has been completed, the facilities would be conveyed at no cost to the City. In addition, as part of the metropolitan system serving lino Lakes, the MWCC had entered into an Agreement with Lino Lakes to share on an annual basis operation and maintenance costs of a Lino Lakes lift station. When the new MCWS lift station becomes operational, the MCWS will no longer need the services of the Lino Lakes lift station. The City of Lino I aces is planning to build a new lift station in the summer of 1995 to replace the lift station subject to the agreement. As part of the conveyance of excess facilities to Lino Lakes, MCWS has proposed that the maintenance agreement be terminated effective at the end of 1996 and that MCWS pay $22,000 (average annual operating fees for 1995 and 1996) to Lino Lakes immediately for use by Lino Lakes in constructing its new lift station. Finally, the Council approval of the Facility Plan for Lino Lakes was conditioned upon resolution of cost- sharing issues. The design alternative for location of the new lift station which would have required cost- sharing was eliminated from consideration by MCWS. There are, therefore, no cost sharing issues at this time. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Metropolitan Council declare that upon full operation of MCWS Project 91-06, a certain portion of the Lino Lakes Interceptor system will no longer be necessary for the metropolitan interceptor system. 2. That the Metropolitan Council authorize the Regional Administrator to enter into an Agreement to convey to the City of Lino Lakes, at no cost to Lino Lakes, that portion of the Lino Lakes Interceptor, Project 76-50, determined to be no longer necessary for the metropolitan interceptor system. Such conveyance will take place upon MCWS Project 91-06 becoming fully operational. 3. That the Metropolitan Council terminate the Land Use Agreement with the City of Lino Lakes effective December 31, 1996 for the cost of $22,000 to be paid immediately. -2-
