The process for the grant program is such that the City is to accept and <br />approve the agreement via resolution, submit the resolution for funding, and the final <br />agreement follows. As part of the grant program process, the City is to provide a Certificate of <br />Real Property. <br /> <br />The City of Lino Lakes has submitted a pre-application to the MCES for grant funding for <br />improvements to the sanitary sewer system which included manhole lining and the East <br />Shadow Lake Drive sanitary sewer replacement to reduce inflow and infiltration. The work has <br />been completed and is eligible for minimum allocation of $50,000 in grant funding. The <br />program requires a 50% match of which the eligible project costs were $171,800. The final <br />reimbursement amount will be allocated proportionally to grant participants, based on eligible <br />project expenses submitted and available remaining grant program funds. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 23-20 Accepting and Approving the Grant <br />Agreement between the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental <br />Services for the Improvement of Publically Owned Infrastructure and Approving Certificate of <br />Real Property. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1.
