STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: AGENDA ITEM 61 Michael Grochala May 24, 2004 Consideration of Resolution No. 04 -67 Approving Joint Powers Agreement with City of North Oaks and Town of White Bear Simple Majority As previously discussed with council, City staff has been working with the Town of White Bear, City of North Oaks and the North Oaks Company to facilitate the extension of sanitary sewer and water main to service residential development in North Oaks. Portions of Lino Lakes are designated to be serviced by sanitary sewer supplied by the Town of White Bear through properties owned by North Oaks Company within Lino Lakes. Although development of the Lino Lakes area is not slated to occur until 2010, North Oaks Company is currently in the approval process with the City of North Oaks to develop the Rapp Farm which is located south of County Road J (Ash Street) and west of Wilkinson Lake. This project is being designed to handle future expansion within the City of Lino Lakes. North Oaks Company is proposing to establish a utility corridor through their property in Lino Lakes to provide for future utility connections. This would allow North Oaks Company to proceed with development projects in North Oak without adversely impacting future expansion for use by the City of Lino Lakes. Additionally, the establishment of the corridor in Lino Lakes will allow North Oaks Company to avoid construction impacts to Wilkinson Lake and the surrounding wetlands. Staff is of the opinion that this would be a practical and cost effective process for both North Oaks Company and the City of Lino Lakes. The proposed Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) provides for the following: 1. North Oaks Company is responsible for the provision of easements, design, construction, and costs of the proposed improvements. The Town of White Bear is responsible for maintenance of the proposed utilities.
