UNFINISHED BUSINESS 15 16 Recently, a meeting was held with elected officials in the area to 17 discuss the water and storm sewer problems being experienced in the 18 City and surrounding areas. 19 20 In attendance were Mayor Ranallo, Councilmember Dziedzic of Minneapolis, 21 Hennepin County Commissioner Makowske and the Mayor of Roseville. Also, 22 at the meeting were representatives of the City of Minneapolis. 23 24 Mayor Ranallo stated that Senator Marty and Representative McGuire had • 25 been invited to attend but did not respond. 26 �7 It was agreed that consultants from Barr Engineering will be requested to 28 study the problems and draft some solutions. 29 30 The water flows through a 54'' pipe with three 48'' pipes entering it from 31 various locations. Barr will collect the date on this issue and consider 32 information to develop a watershed. 33 54 To do a model of the area and creating a topography map of both District 35 #6 and District #7 would cost about $17,400 as stated by Barr Engineering. u 36 The topography map would be a ._cantinous map 37 38 To do a study only would cost approximately $25,000. To correct the problems 39 of the area could cost nearly half a million dollars. An alternative for 1+0 St. Anthony would be to remove four houses on St. Anthony Boulevard so 41 a base could be put in to catch some of the water. Mayor ' Ranallo noted .43 that removal of these homes would affect the City's tax, base. 43 Another alternative would be to install larger pipes near Wilson Street hr, and St. Anthony Boulevard. 46 47 Commissioner Makowske indicated she will request Hennepin County to assist 48 in the costs. The Mayor of Roseville felt that city was not involved and 49 offered no financial assistance. The City of Minneapolis felt it was not 50 involved in the problem. i Y �' • Regular Council Meeting April 9, 1991 page 7 • 1 Mayor Ranallo inquired if the City Manager had any suggestions for 2 sources of funding. The City Manager felt some of the reserve from the Construction Fund could be considered. The Mayor noted that this 4 is not being considered as an assessable project. 5 The Mayor recalled that about seventeen or eighteen years ago a pipe 7 was installed on 29th Avenue which was to solve all of the water R problems being experienced. This pipe installation did not solve 9 the problems. 10 11 Many locations were -considered for holding pond installations but none 12 of them were large enough and many of them would have to be emptied 13 by pumping to remain effective. i4 15 The model can be prepared in ninety days. 16 17 Motion by Marks, second by Enrooth to allocate up to $25,400, minus 18 any Hennepin County contribution, from a source to be designated, 19 to carry out the model project and the study. 20 21 Motion carried unanimously 22 23 The property owner at 2709 St. Anthony Boulevard inquired what she could 24 do to install sidewalks on her property.
