<br />WS – Item #6 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 6 <br /> <br />Date: May 5, 2014 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Michael Grochala <br /> <br />Re: Bald Eagle Lake Dam Maintenance <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City of Hugo has submitted a request for Lino Lakes to help defray the cost of short- <br />term maintenance activities to the dam located at the north end of Bald Eagle Lake. The <br />dam is currently in disrepair and in need of replacement. While Hugo is not the owner of <br />the dam they have taken a lead role primarily because it is located within the City and no <br />other entity has stepped forward as the responsible party. The dam appears to date back <br />to the early 1900’s and the record is not clear what governmental unit it belongs to. <br /> <br />The collapse of the dam would lead to a drop in the Bald Eagle Lake water level of <br />approximately 6 feet. Downstream flooding and property damage could be possible in <br />this event. In the interest of public safety and welfare the City of Hugo has taken some <br />preliminary steps toward replacement of the dam including completion of construction <br />plans and securing $252,000 in funding from Mn/DOT for the estimated $600,000 <br />project. <br /> <br />While Hugo is continuing work on obtaining the balance of funding for the permanent <br />project there is a need to shore up the existing concrete weir in the short term as a <br />preventative measure. The cost of this temporary fix is estimated at $20,000. The Town <br />of White Bear and the City of Centerville have already pledged $2,500 each toward the <br />work. <br /> <br />Staff is of the opinion that the while responsibility for the dam replacement should reside <br />with a governmental entity other than the local municipalities, we do believe there is <br />value in assisting the City of Hugo with the existing short term maintenance project as <br />proposed. Funding in the amount of $2,500 would be available from the storm water <br />maintenance budget if approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Does the city council want to consider a contribution to the City of Hugo for dam <br />maintenance? <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
