Item No. 8L Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 6051 Authorizing the Preparation of a Preliminary Feasibility Report and Consultant Selection for the Construction of a Sedimentation Pond in Silverview Park Meeting Date: July 14, 2003 Background: At the July 7, 2003 Work Session, Staff discussed the status of several aspects of the County Road H2 Project, including the inability to install two infiltration basins planned on the south side of County Road H2. Based on discussions with the Rice Creek Watershed District Director, the City should submit a proposal to install a sedimentation pond near the northwest area of Silverview Pond. By doing so, the Watershed District may allow the elimination of the two required basins on the south side of County Road H2. Discussion: The development of a feasibility report and sedimentation pond at the west end of Silverview Pond is included in the City Local Water Management Plan at an estimated cost of $33,000. This pond is also included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program scheduled for the year 2004. By constructing the pond, the City potentially will not be required to expend funds to construct the two infiltration basins. The pond will also serve to enhance the water quality for Silverview Pond by removing sediment and nutrients from the currently untreated run-off of the parking lot and other sources from the west. Preliminary Report - The first step in a public improvement process is the preparation of a preliminary engineering report. It is recommended that the preliminary report be ordered at this time to determine the need and feasibility, both physical and economic, of providing the necessary public improvements.
