MEMORANDUM Rice Creek Watershed District To: Mike G rochala, Community Development Director Date: June 7, 201 3 From: Phil Belfiori , RCWD Administrator Subject: Follow -up from June 3, 2013 Council work session regarding requested municipal concurrence for Anoka County Ditch 53 -62 Water Manage m ent District. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide requested follow -up information to the City of Lino Lakes regarding the RCWD request for municipal concurrence for the proposed ACD 53 -62 Water Management District (WMD). Spec ifica lly the Council requested information related to how the money generated from the charge is being used so that the Council could further consider th is item at the Monday , June 10, 2013 Council Meeting . The RCWD uses WMD’s as one of several funding mechani sms for the implementation of activities to solve local and regional problems and issues. The charge collected will be used for the implementation of those features providing benefit to properties located within the boundary of the ACD 53 -62 WMD - see locat ion map below . These features yield direct benefit by providing predictable drainage to land currently in agricultural production and urban stormwater conveyance as development proceeds. The Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost for the project is an estim ated at $411 ,353 , and Board consensus to date has been that 71% of that cost (an estimated $292,443 ) will be paid by the charge collected through the ACD 53 -62 WMD. The remaining portion of the estimated project cost, primarily for all or portions of those features which avoid wetland impacts or restore wetlands and maintain historic irrigation function, will be paid for through the district -wide ad valorem levy. The initial WMD charge will be used to repay the capital construction cost and then reduced and used to pay for the continued maintenance and repair of the system. As you will note, there is only one small tributary area located within the City of Lino Lakes that will be charged. (Located just east of Sunset Ave.). The total charge (for all three years) that would be collected within the City for this requested ACD 53 -62 WMD is $1765.
