MOuNDS VIEW City of Mounds View Staff R Item No: 8G Meeting Date: March 12, 2018 Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: A_• 3 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8925 Approving a Maintenance Agreement for the Drainage Channel in Silver View Park with Ramsey County Background/Discussion: In the summer of 2016 Ramsey County Public Works and Mounds View Public Works, observed a number of storm sewer infrastructure features that were not functioning as originally designed. These structures are in the area of County Road I, Silver Lake Road and Mounds View Blvd. Because the features were not functioning as originally designed, backups in the storm sewer systems occurred along County Road I, Mounds View Blvd and in the Northwest corner of Silver View Park (the area of the new disc golf course). Ramsey County Public Works determined that the drainage channel along Country Road I and Silver Lake Road needed to be re -profiled. Surveying was completed in early 2017 with anticipation of work starting in early to mid -summer. High water levels delayed this work and the work was delayed until the late fall of 2017. It is expected that by re -profiling this drainage channel that storm water will no longer surface drain over a large section of Silver View Park in the Northwest corner and it will follow the channel and help keep this section of the Park drier more user friendly. As part of the re -profiling of the drainage channel Rice Creek Water Shed District is requiring a Maintenance Agreement between the City of Mounds View and Ramsey County. The Maintenance agreement allows the county to maintain the channel and perform the work while on City property. The maintenance agreement is for 5 years and renews automatically for five—year terms. Rice Creek Water Shed District will be inspecting the drainage channel and will advise Ramsey County if corrective action is required. It is expected that the City will rough cut the drainage channel area allowing for better drainage and ease of future maintenance needs. The City attorney has reviewed the maintenance agreement and has indicated that this is similar agreement that has been used before. Recommendation: Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Resolution approving the maintenance agreement between Ramsey County and the City of Mounds View for the drainage channel along County Road I and Silver Lake Road, within the Northwest Corner of Silver View Park. Respectfully submitted, Don Peterson, Public Works Director
