Page 3 1 Motion by Marks, second by Faust, to adopt the Proclamation stating that the City Council of the 2 City of St. Anthony hereby designates and declares November 14-20, 1999 to be American Edu- 3' cation Week and urges all citizens to reaffirm their commitment to improving and supporting 4 education at all levels; and, translate this commitment into action by visiting our local schools. 5 Motion carried unanimously. 6 B. Report on Sanitary Sewer Implementation Plan by T. Hubmer, WSB & Associates, Inc. 7 Mayor Ranallo greeted Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, and invited him to address the Coun- 8 cil. 9 Mr. Hubmer began by stating that the Council had directed WSB & Associates to prepare an out- • 10 line of an implementation plan for beginning improvements. This plan was based on the recom- 11 mendations contained in the sanitary sewer inflow and infiltration study. In that study, both the 12 capital improvements and the sanitary sewer education process for dealing with sump pumps and 13 drain tiles were addressed. 14 Mr. Hubmer directed the Council's attention to a copy of the Sanitary Sewer Infiltration/Inflow #6 Study to be presented to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). This.Study was intended to review the wastewater flows and conditions in the existing municipal sanitary 17 sewer system in order to consider alternatives to reduce backups and also reduce the clear water, 18 infiltration and inflow entering the system. The data reviewed and developed was intended to 19 provide the initial information to carry out a public information program and ultimately reduce 20 the City's waterflow rates. 21 Mr. Hubmer stated that the cost to complete improvements and detailed evaluations of the sani- 22 tary sewer system in critical areas is estimated to be $575,000 through the year 2000. It is esti- 23 mated that it will cost approximately $11,000 to implement the infiltration and inflow 24 enforcement of separating sump pumps from the sanitary sewer system. 25 In this respect, Mr. Hubmer presented Exhibit A, which provided an implementation schedule for 26 the sanitary sewer system improvements and presented.a cost breakdown. There are 12 tasks 27 listed on Exhibit A, and Mr. Hubmer reviewed each item with the Council. 28 Specifically, Mr. Hubmer stated that the project is currently at Task 3, which is to complete and 29 submit the 1/1 Study to the Metropolitan Council. A resolution by the City Council was needed 30 in order to submit the Study. 31 Cavanaugh requested clarification of-the total cost for Task Nos. 11 and 12,-and also if the studies mentioned in Task Nos. 9 and 10 were to be completed this winter. Mr. Hubmer responded that the total amount of Task Nos. 11 and 12 was $250,000, and that Task Nos. 9 and 34 10 could perhaps be accomplished this winter, but possibly next spring.
