Resolution 9091 Adopted this 25th day of March, 2019 Carol A, Mueller, Mayor ATTEST: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator (SEAL) The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community Item No: 08E Meeting Date: March 25, 2019 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9092, Support of Legislation HF1095/SF1271 and HF2194/SF2087 Introduction: Every year our Legislature debates public policy issues with some of them having substantive impact. To date, over 2,300 bills have been introduced which is a new all- time record breaking last year’s all-time record. Of these, there are two in particular (less than 1/10 of 1%) that impacts the City of Mounds View in substantive ways. House File 1095 (Elkins, DFL)/Senate File 1271 (Senjem, IR) and House File 2194 (Elkins)/Senate File 2087 (Anderson, IR). Discussion: HF1095/SF1271 allows municipalities to create Street Improvement Districts that provide another tool for cities to use in maintaining their infrastructure. Existing funding mechanisms for street maintenance and reconstruction are inadequate. Specific provisions/advantages of the legislation include; - Special assessments can be onerous to property owners and are difficult to implement for some cities. - Municipal state aid (MSA) is limited to cities over 5,000 population--148 of 853 cities in Minnesota--and cannot be applied to more than 20% of a MSA city’s lane miles. Existing MSA is not keeping up with needs on the MSA system. - This is enabling legislation. No city would be required to create a municipal street improvement district. - This authority would provide a funding mechanism that is fair. It establishes a clear relationship between who pays fees and where projects occur, but stops short of the benefit test that sometimes makes special assessments vulnerable to legal challenges. It also does not prohibit cities from collecting fees from tax exempt properties within a district. - This tool allows cities to perform maintenance and reconstruction on schedule. Timely maintenance is essential to preserving streets and thereby protecting taxpayer investments. - This tool would allow property owners to fund expensive projects by paying relatively small fees over time. The tool could be used to mitigate or eliminate the need for special assessments. HF2194/SF2087 provides both Hennepin and Ramsey County to capture the sales The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community lease tax on automotive transactions to go into the dedicated constitutional road and bridges fund which in turn will result in the 38% of whatever is collected going into the CSAH fund. While the figure is not available for Ramsey County, this bill addresses both Hennepin and Ramsey – the only two counties in the seven county metro area not receiving, Hennepin County would receive $10.7 million. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Both proposed bills support goal of “Maintain and plan for infrastructure improvements including waste water, sewer and transportation. Financial Impact: No direct costs to the city or budget, future revenue and savings potential. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 9092 to support the proposed legislation. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ Nyle Zikmund City Administrator The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community RESOLUTION NO. 9092 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR HF1095 (ELKINS, DFL)/SF1271 (SENJEM,IR) AND HF2194 (ELKINS, DFL)/SF2087 (ANDERSON, IR) WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and discussed the identified legislation; and WHEREAS, House File 1095/Senate File 1271 provides for the creation of Street Improvement Districts; and, WHEREAS, public infrastructure, of which roads and bridges are fundamental to the operation of a city and society overall; and, WHEREAS, the Street Improvement District model does create an important tool for cities to use in providing this critical infrastructure; and, WHEREAS, House File 2194/Senate File 2087 addresses much needed critical funding for County Roads; and, WHEREAS, current statute reflects an inequity leaving Hennepin and Ramsey County out of the distribution while the remaining 5 counties in the 7 County Metro area enjoy. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mounds View City Council supports the passage of HF1095/SF1271 which permits Street Improvement Districts. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT the Mounds View City Council equally supports passage of HF2194/SF2087 which adds Hennepin and Ramsey County into the appropriate distribution for proceeds derived from the automotive lease tax.

The City has taken a number of action steps to decrease the amount of Inflow and infiltration (I & I), such as performing sump pump inspections, cured in place pipe lining, and replacing old sanitary sewer pipe during street reconstruction projects were practical. With the rising cost for treating waste, the City Council requested Staff to look at other ways that the overall costs could be reduced. As Staff began to investigate, it was noted that there are a number of private sanitary sewer systems that are connected to the City system. These systems are not metered and the City, at this time, has no control over what or how much waste-water flows through these systems. Discussion: During the 2019 budget process, Staff recommended that an I & I Study be conducted on these systems. It was determined to begin with the larger privates systems before moving to some of the smaller systems. In the 2019 Sanitary Sewer Budget, account 730-4823-3030 there is $12,000.00 for an I & I study. Staff received an estimate from AE2S (Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services) to perform this study for $15,000. The estimate is $3,000 over the budgeted amount; the difference would come from the contingency account 730-4823-9100 with a budget of $15,000.00 earmarked for an impeller for the Bronson Lift Station. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. Financial Impact: No Financial Impact to the 2019 Budget. Sanitary Sewer account 730- 4823-3030, which has $12,000 budgeted for this study, along with contingency account 730- 4823-9100 of $15,000 would cover the remaining cost of the Sanitary Sewer I & I Study. Recommendation: Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize AE2S to perform a Sanitary Sewer I & I Flow Study. Respectfully submitted, Don Peterson, Public Works Director RESOLUTION 9093 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA AUTHORIZE AE2S (ADVANCED ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.) TO PERFORM ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AN INFLOW AND INFILTRATION FLOW STUDY ON THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM WHEREAS, The City Council is aware of the rising costs associated with the treatment of wastes in the municipal sanitary sewer system; and WHEREAS, The City Council requested Staff look into further options to reduce the costs for this treatment; and WHEREAS, Public Work Staff after reviewing the Sanitary Sewer System noted a number of privates systems connected to the City system; and WHEREAS, the City does not meter the flow coming from these systems; and WHEREAS, Staff recommends that an Inflow and Infiltration Flow Study (I & I) be performed on these systems; and WHEREAS, Staff received an proposal from AE2S for $15,000 to perform an I & I Study; and WHEREAS, the 2019 Sanitary Sewer budget account 730-4823-3030 has $12,000 for an I & I Study and the required additional $3,000 would be taken from contingency account 730-4823-9100. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Ramsey County, Minnesota as follows: 1. Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. is authorized to perform engineering services for a Sanitary Sewer Inflow and Infiltration flow Study for $15,000. 2. To be funded from the 2019 Sanitary Sewer Budget, account 730-4823-3030 for $12,000 and 730- 4823-9100 for $3,000. 3.
