Mounds View City Council Page Thirteen <br /> Regular Meeting September 13 , 1993 <br /> Orduno reported that the original rate structure is included in the <br /> packet as Scenario 1. The alternative rate structure is attached as <br /> Scenario 2 which would raise the yearly residential householdcost by <br /> $. 91. This rate structure would raise the yearly costs for church and <br /> school property classifications. <br /> Orduno asked Rocky Keene and Mike Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor, to <br /> do a presentation on the projects listed in the surface water utility. <br /> This will include impacts on certain areas of the City and on the City <br /> as a whole. <br /> Staff---does- not have recommendation an -th-i-s ordinance. -- The options- . <br /> would be to adopt or not adopt the ordinance. The rate structure would <br /> be formally set by resolution. The Council is at the adoption stage <br /> and it would be a roll call vote. <br /> Rocky Keene, hydrologist from SEH, the cities consulting engineers, <br /> gave a definition of the projects listed in the Local Water Management <br /> Plan. Keene reported that the Council, during the past five years, as <br /> a result of the Long Lake Road reconstruction, asked SEH to complete <br /> two studies to see what impacts certain drainage areas would have on <br /> the Long Lake Road project. One was the Ardan Avenue drainage district <br /> and the other is the Edgewood. drainage district. Mr. Keene listed <br /> those projects that were identified that would need to be constructed <br /> . in association with Long Lake Road and those that were impacted by the <br /> Long Lake Road Project. <br /> Mr. Keene stated that SEH worked. with City staff when the plan was <br /> written to determine some projects that have to be done in addition <br /> to the others throughout the City. Most of these projects are <br /> maintenance projects such as storm sewer outlets, outlet <br /> modifications, and sedimentation ponds, and controlling the City's <br /> water quality. <br /> Keene reported that the final area that was looked at in the Plan was <br /> the feasibility studies. The purpose of these studies are related to -- <br /> wetland issues. All the wetland issues have had a feasibility study <br /> connected to—them. There are other project including stzeet weeping, <br /> general maintenance of the storm sewer system and general cleaning <br /> listed in the Plan. Ditch cleaning, catch basin repair and cleaning, <br /> street sweeping is an important water quality aspect which could also <br /> be funded by the Plan. Wetlands are another important issue and, <br /> therefore,, sedimentation removal should be a part of the Plan. <br /> Mr. Keene gave a history of the City's storm sewer structure. Much of <br /> this system was built in the 1950's. A major portion of the storm <br /> sewer was constructed for sanitary sewer and not necessarily for storm <br /> water drainage. The total construction of future projects identified in <br /> the Plan will cost $1. 2 million. The only projects to take place <br /> • within the next five years are the feasibility studies. <br /> -II'' <br />
