City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 23, 2013 Page 4 1 increased as a result of this project it will be important to understand the impact of these 2 improvements in areas beyond the limits of the study and RCWD has the means to address these 3 impacts. He advised that a schedule has not yet been put together and it is likely a stakeholder 4 meeting will be scheduled after the petition is submitted to RCWD to discuss next steps. 6 Councilmember Roth requested information about how water flow occurs once it leaves the City. 8 City Engineer Hubmer explained that water leaving Silver Lake flows north and the issue that 9 has caused the majority of problems is Ramsey County Ditch #2 causing water to back up in the 10 City. He stated RCWD will look at the impact of the existing ditch system, as well as Hanson 11 Park, Pike Lake and Long Lake to make sure the system functions properly and that any 12 improvements do not create problems somewhere else. He further explained that one of the 13 policy questions to be discussed by the City Council is what storm event the system should be 14 designed for, i.e., the engineering standards revised the 100 year storm event from a 6" rainfall in 15 24 hours to a 7.5"-7.8" rainfall in 24 hours. 16 17 Mayor Faust indicated that BWSR has adopted these new standards and it would appear that all 18 agencies will be using these new standards in the future, including the watershed districts, and 19 the City will likely adopt the new standards because it is in the best interests of the community. 20 21 Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 22 13-056; a Resolution Petitioning Rice Creek Watershed District for a Basic Waters Management 23 Project to Address Storm Water Management and Flooding within the Cities of New Brighton 24 and Saint Anthony, Minnesota. 25 26 Motion carried unanimouslv. 27 28 C.
