Mounds View City Council June 12, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve the sanitary <br />sewer line rehabilitation (CIPP) project. He commented on a service collapse that occurred in <br />2022, noting the bidding process that was followed for this project and recommended approval of <br />the 2023 CIPP project. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked how this project would be funded. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson reported this project would be funded through the Sanitary Sewer <br />Fund. He reported no sewer lining occurred in 2022 due to high prices. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Lindstrom/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9766, <br />Approval of the Sanitary Sewer Line Rehabilitation - CIPP (Cured-in-Place-Pipe) Project. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />I. Resolution 9767, Approval of a City Wide Water Meter Replacement Project. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve a City wide <br />water meter replacement project. He explained providing clean drinking water was one of the <br />City’s core functions. He discussed how important it was to measure proper water flow in the <br />community. He noted the City’s current meters were not accurately measuring water usage because <br />they were nearly 40 years old. He commented further on the proposed water meter replacement <br />project and recommended approval. It was noted going forward the meters will be owned by the <br />City. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom asked if there was any way to flag water usage from bad water <br />softeners for property owners. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained <br />staff does have that capability and staff does speak to property owners if they have a dramatic <br />change in their water usage. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause questioned why the City only received on bid. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson stated this may have had to do with the technology the City was <br />requiring within the meters. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause requested further information regarding how irrigation meters will be <br />managed. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported meters will have to be <br />purchased separately for properties that use a separate meter for irrigating their yard. He stated this <br />was more common for commercial properties than for residential homes. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked when work would begin on this project. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson indicated commercial properties would receive new meters first. He <br />anticipated this work would begin in September or October of this year. He reported the project <br />would be substantially complete by May of 2024. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause questioned what the City would do if property owners refused to allow <br />the contractor onto their property to have their meter replaced. Finance Director Beer stated a $150
