• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 5A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />MEETING DATE: October 28, 2013 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 13 -115, Entering into a Joint <br />Powers Agreement with Anoka County For The Construction and <br />Shared Use of a Joint Salt Storage Facility <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />For the past few years, the Public Services Department has been exploring a partnership with <br />Anoka County to construct a Salt Storage Facility at our Public Works facility. Attached is the <br />Joint Powers Agreement that would make this project a reality. Estimated total project costs are <br />$250,130 with Anoka County contributing $161,055 (64 %) and the City contributing <br />$89,075(36 %). <br />BACKGROUND <br />Lino Lakes does not currently have an enclosed salt storage facility. Therefore, a sand/salt <br />mixture is stockpiled on a gravel surface while exposed to the elements. There are significant <br />environmental drawbacks to this sand/salt mixture practice: <br />• Outdoor storage is undesirable because the exposed salt is dissolved by precipitation and <br />subsequently leaches into groundwater or otherwise carried off site. <br />• Sand must be unnecessarily applied to roads every time salt is needed. <br />The installation of a Salt Storage Shelter would be beneficial for several reasons including: <br />• Improved quality of water runoff from the public works facility <br />• Less sand to recover in future spring sweeping efforts <br />• Streets treated with salt by itself have a much cleaner appearance than those treated with a <br />sand mix (less residual slush and a sand free surface) <br />Estimated project costs are split as follows: <br />Anoka County — ($161,055) Fabric Structure, Concrete Foundation Piers and Bunker <br />Panels, Asphalt, 50% of Storm Water Improvements <br />City of Lino Lakes — ($89,075) Wetland Delineation, Soil Testing, Engineering, Brine <br />Building, Brine Tank, Fencing, 50% of Storm Water Improvements <br />Costs incurred related to all future repairs will be split 50 %. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve entering into a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County For The Construction and <br />Shared Use of a Joint Salt Storage Facility with City funding designated from the Building and <br />Facilities Fund. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
