Mounds View City Council February 14, 2011 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar noted the City solicited bids from several engineering 1 <br />organizations and Barr Engineering provided a bid for services totaling $12,000. Barr 2 <br />Engineering completed a Wellhead Protection Plan for a neighboring community which would 3 <br />provide for savings to the City of Mounds View. Staff recommended the Council authorize Barr 4 <br />Engineering to proceed with Part 1 of the Wellhead Protection Plan. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Councilmember Stigney questioned what cost savings the City would see by using Barr 7 <br />Engineering. Public Works Director DeBar stated he was unaware what the City of New 8 <br />Brighton paid. However, the Department of Health estimates the expense to be $25,000-50,000. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Councilmember Stigney requested that staff speak with New Brighton regarding the expenses 11 <br />paid to Barr Engineering for their Wellhead Protection Plan. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Councilmember Mueller asked if this unfunded mandate could be completed through a multi-14 <br />community wellhead protection plan to create greater cost savings. Public Works Director 15 <br />DeBar stated this may be a possibility, but there was not a joint powers agreement in place at this 16 <br />time. In addition, each City had its own way of completing the work. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Mayor Flaherty questioned when the State mandated the Wellhead Protection Plan. Public 19 <br />Works Director DeBar stated it was mandated in 1986. The rules governing the program were 20 <br />adopted in 1997. Cities have been phased into the program as time allows. If the City chose not 21 <br />to participate in this program, the City would be issued a non-compliance citation. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Mayor Flaherty expressed frustration with State and Federal unfunded mandates and the stress it 24 <br />placed on municipalities. 25 <br /> 26 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
