Item No. 4. <br />Meeting Date: August 3, 2020 <br />Type of Business: Work Session <br />City Administrator Review: ______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Storm Water/Sump Pump Discharge <br /> <br />As you are aware, storm water management and sump pump discharge are two of the most <br />vexing issues facing our residents and council. In the past year, we amended our ordinance to <br />allow sump pump discharge into the storm sewer as long as it did not cross the sidewalk or impair <br />the road (no discharge in winter). <br /> <br />Staff continues to work with a number of residents, primarily but not all in the NW quadrant where <br />the issue is more pronounced. <br /> <br />Based on a resident who piped his sump pump discharge to the storm drain, staff is proposing <br />we explore the cost, via the issuance of an RFP, to directionally bore into the storm structure <br />allowing this piping to be both underground and directly into the system versus being above grade <br />and causing the problems that accompany surface discharge. The City would absorb the cost of <br />boring through the structure and up to the easement line, the resident would absorb the cost from <br />the easement line to their discharge from the house. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />Staff is looking for any additional direction from the Council on how they would like to proceed <br />with staff preparing and issue an RFP consistent with the above. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Don Peterson
