ITEM #: 17
MOTION
TO: City Council
FROM: Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
AGENDA ITEM: Construction of new Salt Storage Shed
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Sue Iverson, Finance Director
BACKGROUND: Included in the 2018 Capital Improvement Plan is the construction of a new Salt
Storage Shed at the Public Works Facility. The existing salt storage shed was constructed in 2006 as part
of the new Public Works Facility construction project. The current salt storage structure has a capacity to
store approximately 400 tons of salt. With the growth of the city and additional lane miles of streets added
since 2006 public works is finding it increasingly difficult to keep a sufficient supply of road salt on hand
in the winter months. After 4-5 snow fall events salt needs to be ordered to keep a minimal supply on
hand. Delivery of a salt order can take up to a week depending on supply and demand of the product and
the availability of trucking companies for delivery. In this weeklong time the remaining salt supply can
and has dwindled down to the point where salt is borrowed from other communities during snow events
and applied to streets in Lake Elmo.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Does the City Council support construction of a new Salt Storage Shed at
the Public Works Facility?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: With the construction of a new Salt Storage Shed, Public Works
will have the capacity to store approximately 1,000 tons of salt on site during the winter months. This will
allow ample time for orders to be placed and delivered to public works and decrease the likelihood of
running out of salt as we currently face with the existing storage building. In addition, the existing salt
storage building can be repurposed into cold storage or other commodity storage.
The proposed new building will be 60’ long x 40’ wide and constructed as a engineered arched truss
building with fabric roofing and interior concrete walls. It will be situate to the east of the existing building.
FISCAL IMPACT: Cost of the building and concrete walls is expected to be approximately $90,000.
Other cost associated with the project will be electrical/lighting cost and site paving. The total project cost
will not exceed $150,000 and will be funded through the City Facilities Fund.
OPTIONS:
• Approve construction of a new Salt Storage Shed
• Deny construction of a new Salt Storage Shed
