Metropolitan Council Working for the Region,,Planning for the Future Environmental Services March 25, 1999 Mr:Mike Morrison City Manager City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418-1699 RE: 19981/1 Grant Agreement(C-3520) Request for partial return of initial Loan Payment Dear Mr. Morrison: Enclosed are three (3) copies of the Grant Agreement for the above referenced I/I funding program that must be entered into between the Metropolitan Council and your community. Please review the agreement, and if acceptable, have the appropriate authorized person at the community sign each of the three copies as indicated. Once they are signed, forward all three . copies, directed to my attention, to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Once the Metropolitan Council has executed the agreement, one copy of the executed agreement will be returned to the community. The enclosed Grant Agreement represents a change in I/I funding to the City from the Metropolitan Council. Originally the City applied for and was awarded a $40,000 Loan to help, in part fund local capital improvements aimed at eliminating I/I from the metropolitan disposal system. However, in a letter from the City dated September 9, 1998 the City requested that it's Loan application be rescinded and that it be allowed to apply for a Grant instead. In a letter dated October 5, 1998 the MCES approved the City's I/I program funding change request and awarded the City a$10,000 Grant. The enclosed agreement is for this Grant. Under each of the funding programs, the Council would typically disburse 50% of the Loan or Grant when the fully executed agreement was sent to the City. However, in the situation with St. Anthony, the MCES forwarded the initial 50% of the Loan ($20,000) to the City. This initial disbursement was forwarded to the City in a letter dated July 1, 1998. Since the revised I/I Grant funding is for $10,000, and the initial disbursement of the Grant would be $5,000, the City has received $15,000 more that what it is due under the Grant award. Therefore, we would like to request that the City issue a check to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services in the amount of $15,000. Once this check has been received, the original Loan Agreement (MCES contract C-3368) can be considered void and the initial disbursement requirements of the Grant satisfied. Please direct the submittal of this reimbursement to my attention so that it can be credited back into the 19981/1 Program budget. 230 East Fifth Street St. Paul.
