Preventive Maintenance Contribution to City of Hugo

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration of a request from the City of Hugo to assist with
the funding for preventive maintenance activities to the Otter Lake Dam
BACKGROUND
The City of Hugo has submitted a request for Lino Lakes to help defray the cost of short-term
maintenance activities to the dam located at the north end of Bald Eagle Lake. The dam is
currently in disrepair and in need of replacement. While Hugo is not the owner of the dam they
have taken a lead role primarily because it is located within the City and no other entity has
stepped forward as the responsible party. The dam appears to date back to the early 1900's and
the record is not clear what governmental unit it belongs to.
The collapse of the dam would lead to a drop in the Bald Eagle Lake water level of
approximately 6 feet. Downstream flooding and property damage could be possible in this
event. In the interest of public safety and welfare the City of Hugo has taken some preliminary
steps toward replacement of the dam including completion of construction plans and securing
$252,000 in funding from Mn/DOT for the estimated $600,000 project.
While Hugo is continuing work on obtaining the balance of funding for the permanent project
there is a need to shore up the existing concrete weir in the short term as a preventative
measure. The cost of this temporary is $15,048. The Town of White Bear and the City of
Centerville have already pledged $2,500 each toward the work. The City of Hugo is paying the
balance.
Staff is of the opinion that the while responsibility for the dam replacement should reside with a
governmental entity other than the local municipalities, we do believe there is value in assisting
the City of Hugo with the existing short term maintenance project as proposed. Funding in the
amount of $2,500 would be available from the storm water maintenance budget if approved by
the City Council. The work for the dam was completed the week of May 5, 2014. The council
discussed the contribution at the May 5 work session and indicated it's interest in participating.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 14-41.
