Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 16 Council Member Stigney stated the representation in Exhibit B is somewhat different than Exhibit A for the golf course. He explained that Exhibit B eliminates the tower and the soft lighting on the left-hand side of the sign, and he was not certain if this was intentional or not. Planning Associate Ericson stated staff had taken some creative liberties in terms creating this image. He explained that this is not to indicate that the tower would not be required, however, staff was attempting to address what would be reasonable in terms of being similar with the style and design. He indicated that if the Council would like to see exactly the same type of design style, they could certainly specify this, and staff had merely presented this as one option. Council Member Stigney pointed out that the Planning Commission would be examining this as well. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Continue the Public Hearing and Postpone Further Discussion of Resolution 5417 Until the April 24 City Council Meeting. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. Mayor Coughlin recessed the Council Meeting at 8:30 p.m. The Council Meeting reconvened at 8:35 p.m. F. Consideration of Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Loan Application. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff has recently received information from Metropolitan Council Environmental Services regarding a loan program they are offering to reduce Inflow and Filtration (I&I) into the sanitary sewer system. He indicated he has spoken with a representative of the agency to determine what methods and measures qualify for the program. He stated they are offering a $30,000 matching loan to the City to reduce the I&I into the City’s system, which ultimately reduces the clear water into the Metropolitan system and their treatment plants. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated the methods the City is currently utilizing such as television inspection, sleeving of offset joints, solidification of cracks, and sealing of manholes would qualify for this loan. He stated the administration of the program is that the City would submit an application, backed by a Council resolution in authorization of this, and perform some of these measures to total as close to the $60,000 amount as possible. He explained they have 18 months to perform the project, after which, every year for the next five years, they must document or survey these measures to insure that they are currently in place, and still functioning to reduce I&I. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated staff would submit an application listing the following corrective measures: 1. Manhole Cover Replacement 2. Manhole Sealing 3. Grouting of cracks and joints 4. Implementation of Sump Pump Removal Project.
