Item No: 8E Meeting Date: Nov 10, 2003 Type of Business: Consent Administrator Review : _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Authorization to Execute Sewer Connection and Maintenance Agreement with Met Council Environmental Services Background: Metropolitan Council division of Environmental Services has requested that the City enter into an agreement with them to allow for the connection into their sanitary sewer main that runs through the property to be developed by LandCor at the corner of Long Lake Road and County Road 10. The City does not have sanitary services in this area and the plan had been to instead access the Met Council line directly. Discussion: To access the Met Council’s primary sanitary line, they are requiring that the City execute a Sewer Access and Maintenance Agreement with them. A copy of the agreement is attached. The private sanitary service that would tie in to the Met Council’s line would be from the office building. Met Council does not however enter into agreements with developers and private entities, only the municipality in which the connection occurs. The sewer agreement in its entirety would be attached to LandCor’s Development Agreement and language would be added to the development agreement that subrogates the City’s responsibilities as indicated in the sewer agreement on to the developer. The City will bear no cost nor assume any liability regarding the agreement. Recommendation: Approve Resolution 6133 authorizing the execution of a sewer connection and maintenance agreement with Met Council. _______________________ Jim Ericson Community Development Director 763-717-4021
