• <br />• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION February 27, 2012 P 1 6 <br />DRAFT <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 />112 <br />113 <br />114 <br />115 Julianne Bartell.
