LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 9-4-84 PAGE 8 assured that he would be charged for only one parcel for this assessment. Mr. Solseth questioned how many parcels he would be assessed for. He feels his lots are unbuildable as they do not meet the 60% rule. The staff will review this concern and Mr. Solseth will be charged accordingly. The public hearing for the 1983 and 1984 Sealcoating Program was closed at 9:20 p.m. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara - To adopt Resolution 84-52 accepting the proposal as presented by the City Engineer and order the assessments for the 1983 - 1984 Sealcoating Program; and to delete the residents on Jane Road North that were inadvertently placed on this assessment roster. (Motion carried 5-0). E. 201 Program Draft Plan of Operation The Engineer presented a Preliminary Plan of Operation and draft Wastewater Service Charge Ordinance. These documents are required to be submitted to the MPCA with the Plans and Specifications. They are not formally adopted until after MPCA review and approval. The Plan of Operation is required to assure the grant agencies that the grant funded improvements will be operated and maintained properly. The Preliminary Plan of Operation for Lake Elmo is based upon the Plan of Operation Guidelines issued by MPCA in February, 1984, and should, therefore, meet MPCA requirements. According to the MPCA Guidelines, three copies of the Preliminary Plan of Operation should be submitted with the plans and specifications in a Step 2 and 3 grant project. The final Plan of Operation must be submitted and approved before the Step 3 grant payments exceed 50 percent of the total. It must include specific dates where the preliminary version cites "percent of construction" when various activities take place. The work required to implement the Plan of Operation is grenerally grant funded. 2. Draft User Charge Ordinance A Wastewater Service Charge Ordinance is required to assure the grant agencies that sufficient funds will be collected to operate, maintain, and administer the grant funded improvements. Two types of maintenance and fee procedures are discussed. "Passive" maintenance is required for individual on -site treatment systems. The charge would only be for administrating the "reporting card" system as had been discussed previously by the Council. "Active" maintenance is required for any individual of any individual or joint off -site treatment system. In this case, the City performs the maintenance of those treatment units not on an individual's own
