Honorable Mayor, City Council and Staff <br />C/O Charlie Yunker, City Manager <br />June 8, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />• Properties affected by the City’s annual pavement management program shall be <br />provided a free I/I compliance inspection. The City shall encourage private property <br />owners to have non-compliant services replaced or repaired. <br />• The City will work with MCES staff to conduct city-wide flow monitoring in an attempt to <br />isolate areas of high I/I. <br />• The City will properly enforce the ordinance. An estimated 50-100 properties on average <br />will be inspected for compliance with the ordinance on an annual basis. This estimate is <br />based on the number of homes on annual street reconstruction projects and home sales. <br />• The City will report to the MCES a list of compliant properties including addresses and <br />cost of service lateral repair including, City contribution. The report shall be submitted by <br />March 31 each year. The City will also submit a report documenting expenditures to the <br />City’s wastewater collection system. The MCES will advise the City of wastewater flows <br />including exceedances, but the City will not be subject to an I/I work plan assignment. <br />• The MCES and the City will work jointly to measure wastewater flows and rainfall totals <br />collected by existing MCES meters to assess program effectiveness. <br />• The City will educate residents on I/I and service repair at least twice a year through the <br />City’s quarterly resident newsletter and City webpage. Properties affected by the City’s <br />annual street reconstruction program shall receive addition communication regarding the <br />compliance inspection, replacement or repair options, and assessment options. <br /> <br />It should be noted that this MOU is a mutual understanding of the parties’ willingness to work <br />collaboratively to mitigate private property I/I, does not create any legally binding or enforceable <br />rights or obligations on either party, and may terminated by either party upon mutual written <br />consent. <br /> <br />Furthermore, City staff will seek funding opportunities to assist homeowners with “point of sale” I/I <br />inspections as well as sewer repairs. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, I will be present at the June 14, 2022, Council Meeting to discuss with <br />you or please call me at 612.388.9652. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />WSB <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Justin Messner, PE <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />cc: Jeremy Gumke, City of St. Anthony Village <br /> Shelly Rueckert, City of St. Anthony Village <br /> Nicole Miller, City of St. Anthony Village <br /> Katie Koscielak, WSB
