Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) TTMMARY; • Last year the State of Minnesota approached the City of Mounds .View with a request to extend public water utilities from a Mounds View water main to the State owned property east of 35W and County Road J. The intended use is for the Driver's Testing Center and the State's Government Surplus Center. The cost of the extension would be born entirely by the State of Minnesota. The City of Mounds View would sell its water to the State. The preliminary discussions were held this Spring with agreement from the Council (at a Work Session) that the action would be beneficial to the City of Mounds View. State law does not require a formal agreement in cases such as this, the only requirement is that the city providing the 'water and the main source inform the "jurisdictional" city (Arden Hills) that the connection will be made. This was done in the Spring. However, in order to assure both cities that the State is performing as agreed upon informally, the attached Agreement has been drafted jointly by the attorneys of both cities and addresses the concerns of Arden Hills that, at some future time, the State (if funding is received) connect to Arden Hills water source. Also, they want to be notified on a yearly basis of how much water the State is purchasing from Mounds View. The agreement further protects both cities from construction liabilities and provides for , appropriate compliance regulations. Arden Hills has approved the Agreement and our City Attorney has signed off on the Agreement. Samantha Orduno, City dministrator (-- . RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve the Agreement and authorize the Mayor and the City Administrator to execute said Agreement on behalf of the City of Mounds View.
