CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 27, 2012 <br /> APPROVED <br /> 89 Item 3C, Requesting Authorization for the City to Participate in an Application for <br /> \_ 90 a Deicing Grant through the Rice Creek Watershed District Urban Stormwater <br /> 91 Remediation Cost-Sharing Program—Administrator Karlson noted that the idea of <br /> 92 applying for this grant jointly came out of discussions of the collaboration group (Anoka <br /> 93 County communities) and would involve four cities (Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington <br /> 94 and Lino Lakes). There is a total grant of$50,000 available through the program. If this <br /> 95 grant request were successful, the advantages of the program would be to have a solution <br /> 96 used on the highway rather than scraping and salting. The city's share would be about <br /> 97 $15,000; the cost of going to a brine system would be about $34,000,the city would have <br /> 98 to look at covering that difference perhaps through budget savings. Staff is requesting <br /> 99 that the council authorize that the city participate in this grant application. Mr. Karlson <br /> 100 noted that many cities have already moved to this type of road treatment. A council <br /> 101 member said that he has seen the process used effectively in other areas of the state. A <br /> 102 council member added that the goal of collaborating with other cities is a good one and <br /> 103 seeing this come from the process is promising. <br /> 104 <br /> 105 Item 6A will be deleted from the council agenda for further discussion. <br /> 106 <br /> 107 The meeting was adjourned at 6:28 p.m. <br /> 108 <br /> 109 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br /> 110 March 12, 2012. <br /> 111 <br /> .. <br /> 112 / <br /> 113 <br /> �_ ,_, `�6 <: A _ �.� <br /> 115 Tu1i e Bartell, CitylCle J "f ' inert, Mayor <br /> 116 / <br /> 3 <br />
