SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
The City Council is respectfully requested to consider approving the Joint Powers Agreement with the
City of Oakdale for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. If removed from the
consent agenda, the recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2013-33, Approving the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Oakdale for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension Project.” BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
On March 19, 2013 the council ordered the improvement and the preparation of plans and specifications
for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. The improvements include the extension of
sanitary sewer 580 linear feet north of an existing lift station owned and operated by Oakdale,
along the west boulevard of Olson Lake Trail. This project provides sanitary sewer service to 7
properties; 5 properties in Lake Elmo and 2 properties in Oakdale.
This project is the first phase of a multi-year project to provide sewer service along Olson Lake
Trail north to 50th Street. The second project would be constructed in coordination with
Washington County when the County completes a road resurfacing project for Olson Lake Trail
(CR 13); scheduled sometime between 2014 and 2016.

To implement the project, Oakdale and Lake Elmo need to enter a Joint Powers Agreement to
establish the terms for the project to be jointly implemented for the benefit of both communities.
The terms as set forth in the agreement are consistent with the policies and recommendations
established within the Amended Feasibility Report for the project, adopted by the City Council
on March 19, 2013. The Oakdale City Council approved this agreement at their April 23, 2013
meeting.
Summary of Agreement Terms:
• Oakdale will be the responsible party for the design and construction of the entire project.
• The project costs will be shared in proportion to the number of benefitting properties
within each jurisdiction; Lake Elmo’s share is 71%.
• Lake Elmo will invoice Oakdale $4,000 for reimbursement of the feasibility report.
• Each city is responsible to levy assessments against properties within its jurisdiction.
Lake Elmo has previously conducted its Final Assessment Hearing for the five properties.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve, as part of the Consent Agenda, Resolution No.
2013-33, thereby approving the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Oakdale for the Olson Lake
Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended
motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2013-33, Approving the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Oakdale for the Olson Lake Trail Sanitary Sewer Extension Project.” ATTACHMENT(S):
