MEMORANDUM
• DATE: December 1, 1997
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael J. Morrison, City Manager
ITEM: Sump Pump Ordinance
As recommended by the Storm Water Advisory Task Force, please find enclosed a new
sump pump ordinance requiring inspection and removal of all sump pumps draining into
the sanitary sewer system by October 1, 1998. The proposed ordinance and supporting
information is from a review of several suburbs throughout the Twin Cities.
A summary of issues that I have for the City Council is as follows:
1.) Do we want to have City-wide neighborhood meetings prior to the adoption
of the proposed ordinance or simply conduct the public readings at the
January 13, January 27 and February 10 Council meetings?
2,) Do we want to give everyone one (1) year after the City's inspection to
make the disconnection or select a date such as October 1, 1998? Remember
that some property owners may not get inspected until July, 1998. Again,
the number of sections the City is divided into may have an impact on
enforcement efforts of the deadlines.
3.) What are your thoughts on doing the inspections in-house with the Public
Works Department or contracting it out to an engineering firm, such as
WSB, to do the actual inspections and re-inspections? I have asked WSB to
put a proposal together to do these inspections. I have also talked with Jay
Hartman to think about what it would take to do these inspections in-house.
All the cities that I contacted contracted their inspections out. Their reasons
for contracting out this work are: a) they couldn't afford to give up the 2 or
3 Public Works employees for the year; and b) having the consultant at the
neighborhood meetings was helpful in explaining the reasons for the
proposed ordinance.
The process would work as follows:
There are approximately 2,300 residential and commercial property owners in the
City. We would divide the City into four sections to facilitate neighborhood
meetings and sump pump inspections. This would mean about 575 property
owners in each neighborhood section. The neighborhood meeting for Section 1
could be scheduled for March, with the inspections for this Section beginning in
April; Section 2's neighborhood meeting would be in April, with its inspections
• scheduled for May; Section 3 would have its neighborhood meeting in May and
inspections in June; and Section 4 could be scheduled for its neighborhood meeting
in June and the inspections scheduled for July.
Before the inspections begin, a one time meeting with area plumbers should be
scheduled to provide them information on the ordinance and the inspection process.
Attached are the following:
1.) A sample letter that could be sent to the property owner, plus six pages of
information that would be sent out two or three weeks before the scheduled
neighborhood meeting for that section.
2.) A sample letter to area plumbers and a list of those plumbers.
3.) The proposed ordinance.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

PLEASE:
Your home is among those
scheduled for sump pump cross
inspection beginning
You are invited to a Public Meeting For an Explanation of the
New City of St. Anthony Sump Pump Cross Connection
Inspection Program. Please attend on
at St. Anthony City Hall/Community Center
3301 Silver Lake Road
Each year numerous gallons of storm water which are incorrectly drained
into sanitary sewers costs the City of St. Anthony extra money in treatment fees.
In order to save money for all St. Anthony residents, the St. Anthony City Council
has adopted an ordinance requiring the inspection of sump pump connections.
• On , the City of St. Anthony will begin inspecting homes in your neighborhood for
cross connected sump pumps. (Cross connected means sump pumps that are connected to the sanitary
sewer lines instead of the storm sewer lines.) Inspectors will begin by going house to house, looking at
connections in basements to insure that when sumps are in place, they are properly connected, and that
those connections are made with rigid PVC-type pipe, not flexible hoses. You are not required to have a
sump pump, but if you do, it must be properly connected.
Inspectors will work weekdays between 12:00 noon and 8:00 PM and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 6:00
PM, through the month of April. The average inspection will take between 10 and 20 minutes. Inspections
are being carried out door-to-door, because it is the quickest and most cost-effective way to inspect a large
number of homes in a short time. Homes with a correct connection, or without a sump pump will be issued
a "passed inspection" document.
Homeowners who have incorrectly connected sump pumps will be required to correct the connection and
have the installation reinspected, before being issued a "passed inspection" document. Those who do not
arrange for inspection, or who do not correct a cross connection, will incur a surcharge of $100. This will
be added to their sewer bill each month until the problem is corrected and they have scheduled and passed
city inspection. (A copy of the City Code detailing these penalties is enclosed. A separate sheet with a few
major points from the code is also enclosed.)
If you are not at home when the inspector arrives, or if it is not convenient for you to allow inspection at
that time, a notice will be left with a number you may call to make an appointment. The number,
is equipped with a voice-mail feature so you may leave a message at any hour of the day or night. Once the
door-to-door portion of the program is as complete as possible, appointments will be scheduled for both
weekdays and Saturdays. If you do not call and make an appointment, we will attempt to contact you to
arrange for inspection first by telephone, then through the mail, and lastly by certified letter.
If you have any questions, or want more information, please attend the public meeting.

• Highlights From
St. Anthony City Code Section
PROHIBITING DISCHARGES INTO THE
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM
PURPOSE - To prohibit clear water discharges to the sanitary
sewer.
PROHIBITED DISCHARGES - Drainage from roof, surface, ground
water sump pump, footing tile, swimming pool, or natural
precipitation.
REQUIRES - That all sump pumps must have a permanently
installed, rigid pipe (PVC type) discharge line which shall not enter
the sanitary sewer at any time.
REQUIRES - Disconnection of clear water sources.
REQUIRES - Inspection by a City employee or authorized
representative.
PENALTY - Non-compliance will result in a surcharge of $ 100 per
month added to home's sewer bill.
FUTURE INSPECTIONS - Sump pump connections will be
reinspected periodically. The $100 surcharge will be applied
retroactively, for all months since the previous inspection, to
homes where connections are found to be in violation of the code.
• Information on Sump Pump Inspection and Cross Connection
The City of St. Anthony Sump Inspection program is designed to help homeowners identify
cross connected sump pumps, so they can be properly connected and to alert homeowners
who don't have sump pumps to the ordinance requiring that they be inspected if installed
in the future.
What is a cross connection?
A cross connection happens when a sump pump is connected to a sanitary sewer line.
Often this can be a hose leading into a laundry tub or a floor drain. Sump pumps are
supposed to drain into storm sewers, either through a direct connection (a pipe from the
home connecting with the main storm sewer line), or through draining directly onto the
ground or into the gutter outside the home.
Why are cross connections a problem?
Sump water is what engineers call "clear water," most often rain water, ground water, or
snow melt. This water is clean enough to drain directly into area streams, ponds, and
lakes without treatment. Wastewater- water from your sinks, showers, tubs, toilets, and
washing machines - must be treated at your area wastewater treatment plant before it can
be safely discharged into the environment.
• When "clear water" is added to wastewater, it can overload the collection system. The
MPCA has estimated that a single home with a cross connected sump pump can add up to
1 ,400 gallons of water to the system during one average rain storm. That's the equivalent
of flushing your toilet 280 times (based on a standard toilet with a five gallon tank - if you
have a low flow toilet with a three gallon tank, you'd have to flush 466 times). Multiply
that by the number of homes in your neighborhood, and the magnitude of the problem
becomes evident.
Why should I care?
Excess water in the treatment system costs the City, and you, money. Rates at the
treatment plant are based on the number of gallons that flow through the system. When
.,clear water" enters the system through cross connected sump pumps, everyone pays to
treat water that is already clean.
How can they tell when storm water gets into the system?
It is not difficult to find out if extra water is entering the system. All homes have water
meters that measure the mount of water you use. Think of that water as flowing through
your home - it enters, is used (for cooking, washing, cleaning), and then goes down the
drain. If the amount of water that reaches the treatment plant is far in excess of the
amount being delivered to homes, then obviously, extra water is entering the system.
Are cross connections the only cause of this?
No. Water can infiltrate the system through bad joints, cracks, or breaks in the sanitary
sewer pipe. This is not a big problem in St. Anthony because the City regularly inspects
• the interior of the sanitary sewer pipe with TV cameras so problems can be found and
corrected.
How do I know if I have a cross connected sump pump?
The illustrations at right and below show one
• incorrect and one correct method of connection.
The key thing to look for is where the water
goes when the sump pump is running. If you
have a rigid, PVC-type pipe that goes outdoors PRIVATE C°NNECMCH USE
and drains into your yard (well away from your T° STORM SEWER
foundation, of course), you're probably okay. If SEWER $T0Q4
you have a hose that drains into your laundry tub ` FLOOR

or floor drain, you're definitely not okay. If you
can see right away that your sump pump is �-U3UC SANITARY

cross connected, it would be to your advantage s��P k
to get it re-routed prior to inspection. This will

save you time, as only one inspection will need TO SAWTAAY SCVER
to be done to confirm your correction. If you're PROPER UTILITY CONNECTION
not sure, information available at the public
meeting may help you decide. If you still can't
tell, don't worry. The inspectors will let you
know, and you will have time to get the problem
corrected before the surcharge is applied.
If you are re-routing your system, be sure
to buy the right kind of pipe. It must be a
PERIMETER OR rigid, PVC-type pipe, not flexible hose.
SUMPac FOOTING DRAINAGE Even in systems that already pump water
• SUMP PUMP outside, inspectors will require that
FLOOR DRAIN flexible hoses be replaced with rigid pipe.
How do I make an appointment for an
inspector to visit my home?
I. Personnel will be going door to door to try
to get as many homes as possible
inspected without appointments. If they
don't find you at home, they will leave a
notice on your door knob with the number
IMPROPER CONNECTIONS to call for an appointment. Voice-mail
SUMP PUMP TO FLOOR DRAIN has been installed on the phone so you
OR LAUNDRY TUB shouldn't have to call more than once. If

number, address, and the best time to
reach you. We will return calls during
business hours and in the evenings.
Why inspect my house?
Neither your home nor neighborhood has been singled out for any reason. All St. Anthony
homes and businesses with sanitary sewer connections will be inspected.
What will correcting a cross connection cost me?
• If you do the work yourself, less than $50, assuming your basement is unfinished and you
already have a sump pump. If an outside contractor is used, most corrections will be
around $200, again assuming your sump pump is in place and it's just a matter of
replacing flexible pipe and/or re-routing your flow.

Dear Sir or Madam:
You are invited to send a representative from your firm to an informational meeting concerning
new regulations for sump pump connections as specified in the City of St. Anthony's amended
sanitary sewer discharge ordinance. Please join us for about half an hour on
at at the St. Anthony City HalUCommunity Center, 3301 Silver Lake Road. Snacks
• and beverages will be provided.
As part of the new ordinance, the City will begin inspecting private home sump pump
connections beginning in . Homeowners whose sump pumps are connected to
the sanitary sewer system, or whose pumps drain through easily moveable flexible hoses will be
required to install rigid connections which drain outside the home, either to the storm sewer or
into the yard.
This informational meeting serves a dual purpose. First, it's one way of letting you know about
the new rules. Those homeowners whose sump connections fail inspection and can't or don't
want to correct their own systems will doubtless call in a professional. If that professional is
you, you'll want to be sure your work will pass the inspection.
Second, we're compiling a list of area plumbers willing to do this kind of work. If homeowners
ask the inspector who can fix their system, they'll be handed the list. This will not constitute a
recommendation from the City. If you'd like to be on the list, please come to the meeting and
let us know you'd like to be included.
Sincerely,
• Michael Mornson

ORDINANCE 1998-OOA
AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING DISCHARGES INTO
THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM; AMENDING
CHAPTER 13, SECTION 1335.15, SUBD. 8,
OF THE 1993 ST. ANTHONY CODE OF ORDINANCES
The City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby ordains:
Section 1. Subdivision 8 of Section 1335.15 of the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to
read in full as follows:
1335.15. Sump Pumps.
(a) Purpose. The discharge of water from roofs, surfaces, groundwater sump pumps,
footing tile, swimming pools, or other flow of precipitation into the City system
results in flooding and overloading of the sanitary sewer system. When this water
is discharged into the sanitary sewer system, it is treated at the sewage treatment
plant, resulting in very large and needless expenditures. The City Council,
therefore, finds it in the best interest of the City to prohibit such discharges.
(b) Discharge Prohibited No water from any roof, surface, groundwater sump pump,
footing tile, swimming pool, or other flow of storm water shall be discharged into
the sanitary sewer system. Dwellings and other buildings and structures which
require, because of infiltration of water into basements, crawl spaces, and the like,
a sump pump discharge system, may have a permanently installed discharge line
which shall not at any time discharge water into the sanitary sewer system. A
permanent installation shall be one which provides for year round discharge
capability to either the outside of the dwelling, building, or structure, or is
connected to City storm sewer or discharge through the curb and gutter to the
street. Inside piping shall be rigid pipe with fixed joints, pvc or equivalent.
(c) Disconnection. Before October 1, 1998, any person, firm, or corporation having a
roof surface, groundwater sump pump, footing tile, or swimming pool now
connected and/or discharging into the sanitary sewer system shall be disconnected
from the sanitary sewer and redirected in an effective, professional manner.
(d) Inspection. Every person owning improved real estate that discharges into the
City's sanitary sewer system shall allow an employee of the City of St. Anthony
or a designated representative of the City to inspect the buildings to confirm that
there is no sump pump or other prohibited discharge into the sanitary sewer
• system. In lieu of having the City inspect their property, any person may furnish
a certificate from a licensed plumber certifying that their property is in
compliance with this ordinance.
Ordinance 1998-OOA
Page 2
(e) Correction Period-Reinspection. Properties which fail during the first inspection
shall be reinspected within 30 days to allow corrections to be completed. If
property fails the reinspection, the $100.00 per month surcharge shall be imposed
on every sewer bill until compliance is achieved.
(f) Future Inspections. Each sump pump or sump pump basket installation identified
will be reinspected periodically.
(g) New Construction. All new dwellings with sumps for which a building permit is
issued after October 1, 1998, shall have a pump and shall be piped to the outside
of the dwelling, in accordance with this ordinance, before a certificate of
occupancy is issued.
(h) Surcharge. A surcharge of $100.00, per month is hereby imposed on every sewer
bill mailed, after a 30 day grace period following inspection or confirmed attempt
at inspection, to property owners who are not in compliance with this ordinance
or who have refused to allow their property to be inspected to determine if there is
• compliance. All properties found during periodic re-inspection to have violated
this ordinance will be subject to the $100.00 per month penalty for all months
between the two most recent inspections.
(h) Winter Discharge. The City Manager's office is authorized to issue a permit to
allow a property owner to discharge Surface Water into the sanitary sewer system.
The permit shall authorize such discharge only from November 15 to March 15
and a property owner is required to meet at lease one of the following criteria in
order to obtain a permit:
(1) The freezing of the surface water discharge from the sump pump or
footing drain is causing a dangerous condition, such as ice buildup or
flooding, on either public or private property.
(2) The property owner has demonstrated that there is a danger that the sump
pump discharge pipes will freeze up and result in either failure or damage
to the sump pump unit or cause basement flooding.
(3) The water being discharged from the sump pump or footing drain cannot
be readily discharged into a storm drain or other acceptable drainage
system.

Dear Mr. Morrison:
Following our meeting on November 5, 1997, we have had the opportunity to consider a program
• to assist you in identifying sump pump connections in the City of St. Anthony. WSB personnel
have had many years of experience in infiltration/inflow programs in other communities and we

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Statement of Understanding
It is our understanding that the City of St.Anthony has identified clear water(infiltration and inflow)
in the collection system as one of the factors in recent backups problems. The City has made efforts
to reduce clear water from"public" sources but the private property sources have not been addressed
thus far.
"Infiltration" and "inflow" are different classifications of clear water in general "engineering"
terminology,but for practical purposes and analysis they are generally combined into one term and
called infiltration/inflow or I/I for short. I/I has always been a concern in sanitary sewer collection
and treatment facilities. I/1 is relatively clean, runoff or ground water, and it does not require the
extensive treatment that is necessary for wastewater. However, once I/I enters a sanitary sewer
system it becomes mixed with the wastewater and it must be processed at a treatment facility before
discharging it to a receiving stream. The I/I uses capacity in the collection system and the treatment
facility that could be used by additional service connections from homes or businesses, and results
in increase treatment charges to the City. Wastewater from the City of St. Anthony is treated at a
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services(MCES)facility,and the City is charged a fee for each
gallon that is treated. The MCES has been encouraging communities to reduce I/I by offering a
grant/loan program. Information on the MCES program will be included in the "funding" section
of this letter.
There are many potential sources of I/1 ranging in size from minor pipe joint leaks, providing less
• than one gallon per day to catch basins and roof drains, which can contribute hundreds of gallons
per minute. Flow from extremely large I/1 sources quickly and regularly exceed the capacity of the
available sanitary sewer pipes and,as a result,these sources are generally removed shortly after they
are identified. Smaller sources spread throughout the system are more difficult to identify and
remove. These sources include leaking manholes, damaged pipe, leaking joints, foundation drain
tiles, sump pumps and down spouts from roof gutters. Routine system operation and maintenance
procedures provide the opportunity for the City Staff to identify and correct some I/I sources in the
City or"public"system,but the private property sources are generally overlooked unless specifically
targeted. Private property sources include foundation drainage tiles, sump pumps and down spouts
from roof gutters. These sources can contribute significant quantities of I/I very quickly , or over
a long period of time, depending on the type of construction, the soil conditions, and the
precipitation event. Foundation drains are normally difficult to identify and difficult to remove from
the system. Sump pumps and down spouts are relatively easy to identify and disconnect. The pump
discharge line can be routed outside the basement and discharged on the ground away from the
foundation. The water from the sump is basically clean and can be discharged on the ground surface
without difficulty in most cases. However, it is important to discharge the water several feet from
the foundation to reduce the potential for recirculating it back to the tile and sump pump system.
Occasionally problems with surface discharge occur in situations where the pump is required to
operate frequently over long periods of time, or during freezing conditions. In these cases special
consideration of the discharge method may be necessary.
The City of St. Anthony has been working on identifying and removing I/I sources in the public
• sewer system and it is necessary to expand the program to the private property area to increase I/I
reduction. In most communities, sump pumps are the most common"private property" source and
Page/ F-WPW/MPROPOSAD059 97Ipropow/
the easiest to identify and remove from the sanitary sewer system. In many cases, removal can be
completed by the property owner for minimal cost using readily available materials and tools with
minor instruction and guidance. We would recommend that the City of St. Anthony consider a
program that has been used successfully in several area communities to identify and remove sump
pump connections to reduce I/I in the sanitary sewer system.
Approach
The recommended program includes several steps as follows:
1. Adopting an ordinance requiring inspection and establishing a surcharge for non-compliance.
2. Preparing a public information program to inform residents of the new ordinance
requirements and the need to reduce the I/I including:
a. Small inserts for mailing with water bills or newsletter articles.
b. A separate directed mailing inviting residents to a public information meeting.
C. Distribution of recommendations for re-routing sump pump discharge lines.
3. Inspection of each sanitary sewer connection in the City. This could be done in groups of
• about 1,000 to control the overall operation of the program. The inspection would include:
a. Entering every building connected to the sanitary sewer and observing the plumbing
piping to determine the presence or lack of a sump pump.
b. Completing a three-part inspection form which will establish, at the time of the
inspection, whether or not the connection is in compliance with the new ordinance.
Homeowners will sign and date the form and keep a copy for their records.
C. If the connection does not comply with the ordinance, the inspector will provide a
sketch of a recommended connection method and list of plumbers that do work in the
city.
d. If a connection fails, it will be reinspected in 30 days to verify that the corrections
have been made, or if corrections have not been made, to initiate the surcharge
provisions of the ordinance.
e. If the building has a sump basket but no pump,a sticker will be placed on the basket
cover notifying future users of the inspection requirement prior to installation of the
sump pump.
4. Prepare a data base which includes all of the inspection data for future reference and follow-
up inspections to maximize long term compliance.
Page 2 F.•IWPWIMPROPOSAL1059.97Iproposal
WSB proposes to provide an engineer and inspection group to complete the recommended program
• for the City. Chuck Janski would be designated as the project engineer. Chuck has over 15 years
experience in I/I projects, and would assist in setting up the program, making presentations at the
three public information meetings, training and supervision of the inspection personnel assigned
other project.Chuck has conducted similar sump pump inspection programs in conjunction with the
Cities of Plymouth, Champlin, Waseca,and Zumbrota in the past few years. The inspection group
would be made up of WSB construction inspection personnel. An inspector would go door to door
to enter each building and determine a pass/fail condition of the building. An additional person in
the inspection group would be assigned to take telephone calls and set up appointments for residents
that could not be contacted through the initial attempts. This person would also enter the inspection
data into the computer data base which would be delivered to the City upon completion of the
inspection work.
Schedule
We understand that the City Council is currently reviewing an ordinance to provide for the private
property inspections and surcharge fees for non-compliance. Assuming the ordinance will be in
effect on January 1,1997,we would recommend initiation of the public information,and sump pump
inspection program under the following preliminary schedule:
Meeting with the City Staff and development of program January 5 - 9, 1998
Prepare mailing packet - City wide and 151 "target" area January 12 - 16, 1998
Distribute City wide I/I information on new ordinance and January 16, 1998

Available Funding
• In 1996 the MCES offered metro area communities grant and loan funds to reduce I/I in their
collection systems. Recent discussions with MCES staff suggest that the program will again be
offered for 1998. It is anticipated that program information will be mailed to communities in late
December, 1997 or early January, 1998.
If the program is similar to the 1996 program as anticipated, grant funds up to $10,000 and loan
funds up to$40,000 would be available for qualifying projects. Both of the funds require dollar for
dollar matching with local funds. The grant funds are available for"studies" to define and identify
potential I/I sources and reduction potential,and loan funds are available for construction of projects
to actually reduce the I/I in the City system. Initial discussions suggest that a "sump pump"
identification and removal project, as proposed in St. Anthony, would qualify under the "loan"
program.
The "loan" program is rather unique because there is an opportunity for communities to have their
annual loan repayment "forgiven." For a period of five years after the project is completed, the
community must annually "certify"the status of the system 1/I to the MCES. If the work continues
to be effective in maintaining the I/I reduction, the City's annual payment is forgiven and the loan
effectively becomes a "grant" for that year. Each year that the system is positively "certified", the
payment is forgiven.
• Final details of the proposed 1998 MCES program will be distributed by the MCES after the
Metropolitan Council adopts the 1998 budget.
Conclusion
The City of St.Anthony can benefit from a program to identify and remove sump pump connections
to the sanitary sewer system.
WSB personnel have extensive experience in assisting communities with sump pump identification
and removal projects and could provide valuable assistance to the City of St. Anthony.
Funding assistance may be available to the City from MCES through a special 1/1 Reduction
Program early in 1998.
Infiltration and Inflow have their greatest impact on the sanitary sewer system in the spring during
high groundwater and runoff conditions.
Initiation of a sump pump identification and removal project in the next few months will provide
some improvement prior to the anticipated peak conditions next spring.

Re: Request for funding assistance to address flood disaster that occurred on July 1, 1997 as a
result of a catastrophic rainfall event in the City of St. Anthony
Dear Senators and Representatives:
On July 1, 1997, the City of St. Anthony was devastated by a rainfall event that was over two times
• as intense as that anticipated for a 100-year event as predicted by the National Weather Service.
This event flooded over 67 homes, seriously impacted the City's sanitary sewage collection system,
and subjected the City's residents to flood damages of nearly $1 million.
The City Council and residents within the City of St. Anthony have been attempting to deal with
these problems in a variety of ways, ranging from assisting homeowners in coping with the
financial impact caused by this event to constructing storm drainage improvements to reduce the
likelihood of this happening in the future.
An engineering analysis of the problems experienced was also undertaken and the report
recommends:
1. Purchase up to five homes that were severely damaged as a result of this event and
utilize the property on which they are standing to create more storm water storage
so that other adjacent homes can be protected in the future.
2. Construct other storm water improvements to provide additional flood protection in
13 areas that received very extensive flood damage (see attached report).
The cost for the recommended storm drainage improvements is estimated to be $6 million.
In a monumental effort to try to address these problems for 1998, the City is giving consideration
to raising the storm water utility fee charged against properties within the City to in excess four
• times the existing rate to a minimum of$13.00 per quarter for residential property. This would
be the highest storm water utility fee charged to residents within the Twin City Metropolitan Area,
based on a survey of 30 communities within the Twin Cities. Even at this high rate, due to its
B•V]l197-I.WPD
limited size and tax base, the City could only bond for $1.5 million of improvements utilizing this
revenue source.
The City is also dramatically impacted by stone water runoff that drains into the City from other
communities, as well as being impacted by systems in other cities that carry water away from
St. Anthony. The Storm Water Conveyance systems that the City drains into are now over-utilized
by downstream communities, leaving little, if any, room for water to drain out of the City of
St. Anthony during heavy rainfall events.
Our drainage analysis indicates that development within the Cities of Minneapolis, New Brighton,
and Roseville has usurped much of the capacity of the storm sewer system previously allocated to
the City of St. Anthony for drainage. Furthermore, the City of St. Anthony is not in a position to
work beyond its municipal boundaries and cannot increase the capacity of storm drainage systems
through these other communities. For these reasons, the improvements the City of St. Anthony is
proposing consist of purchasing existing structures and providing additional ponding within the
community. This will reduce our already limited tax base"in the future and, coupling this with high
storm water utility fees, will further impact the ability of the City to provide services to its
residents.
As can be observed from the above information, the City of St. Anthony and its residents are
shouldering an enormous burden in responding to the catastrophic flooding problems that occurred
following the July 1, 1997 event. Our problem is no less real than the problems experienced by
• those in the Red River Valley for which state and federal funding has been made available.
The City is asking its residents to shoulder the burden of the highest storm water utility fee charged
in the Twin City Metropolitan area. The City is also proposing a solution which will reduce its
long-term tax base to allow it to utilize measures constructed within the City limits as it was
deemed more cost-effective to construct improvements in this location than construct additional
drainage systems outside of the City.
In consideration of the above, we request that the cost over and above those the City can reasonably
accommodate be funded by the State of Minnesota. The City believes it could fund, over the next
15 years, up to $1.5 million of the necessary $6 million of improvements. The City of St. Anthony
is requesting the State of Minnesota contribute the remaining $4.5 million for this effort.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Mike Mornson, City Manger
at 789-8881.
Sincerely,
Clarence Ranallo, Mayor

Re: Recommended Implementation Plan for Responding to Flooding
Problems in the City of St.Anthony
WSB Project No. 1065.10
As a follow-up to action taken by the City Council at their meeting on Wednesday, December 3,
1997,we have prepared a recommended implementation plan to be utilized to provide a step-by-step
• approach to address the storm water flooding problems in the City.
This plan has been prepared,taking into consideration general direction provided by the storm water
management task force at their meeting on Tuesday,December 2"d; direction provided to us by the
St. Anthony City Council at their meeting on Wednesday, December 3rd, 1997; information
developed over the past months as part of work that was completed by WSB, and public
informational meetings held over that period of time.
Outlined herein is a listing of the activities we recommend be undertaken in their order of priority
so as to address the flooding problems within the City. This listing of activities identifies each of
the tasks,along with general information and observations relative to considerations that were used
in selecting and justifying each task.
Task 1 -Increase Storm Water Utility Fee
This task would increase the Storm Water Utility Fee within the City to $13.00 per quarter for
residential property, (4.3 times the current rate)and increase commercial rate 2.5 times the current
rate. General information and justification for this recommendation includes:
• This action recommends a utility fee that is as high or higher than those surveyed and
may be one of the highest in the Twin City Metropolitan Area. This observation will
• allow us to provide additional justification that we are already doing everything we
can reasonably do within the community to fund improvements that are needed,and
we very much need outside funding assistance.

WSB Project No. 1065.10
December 12, 199 7
Page 2
• Increasing the utility fee in the above manner would generate approximately
$165,000 annually.
• This increase in utility fee is not adequate to allow for the implementation of the
program outlined within the WSB report and assumes outside funding needed.
• As can be observed in later tasks, if outside funding for these activities can not be
secured to the extent needed,task 6 anticipates an additional increase in storm water
utility fees in the year 2001. If outside funding can be secured to the desired level
between now and 2001, the fee would not need to be increased.
• This option makes available a time period over which grant funding can be solicited.
Task 2 -Establish Flood Proofing Grant Program
• As part of this task a Flood Proofing Grant Program would be established with$50,000 to$100,000
made available annually to implement flood proofing projects. This grant program is recommended
to be implemented in the following way and for the following reasons:
• It is recommended the Flood Proofing Grant Program fund projects that would be
paid for with 65% City funds, and 35%homeowner funds. This ratio is consistent
with that used in city street reconstruction work.
• Property owners can submit applications to the City through a competitive
application process. Applications could be submitted by April 1, 1998 and approved
by May 15, 1998 for construction in the summer of 1998.
• Grant applications would be reviewed and prioritized based on amount of damage
received in the `97 storm, frequency of flood occurrence, cost benefit ratio for
proposed project, and total cost of the project. (Lower cost projects would receive
higher consideration).
• A grant application package including directions would be prepared and made
available to homeowners wishing to submit such applications.
• Grant applications could be solicited to fund flood proofing improvements that were
• constructed since July 1, 1997, provided the work that was undertaken received
approval through the City building permit process.

• Grant funding would only be available for physical improvement projects
constructed outside or adjacent to the house to prevent flood water inundation of the
structure. These activities could include lot regrading, sealing walkout and lookout
openings. No sump pump/drain tilelbasement water proofing work would be
eligible.
• Grant applications that are submitted and not funded in a given year would be
allowed to resubmit their application the following year. The general concept is that
if the project has merit, it would likely be funded in the next five f years.
• Without the flood proofing grant program, the cost to construct storm drainage
improvements will increase significantly.
Task 3 - Purchase Homes Selected for Renewal
• Homes identified for removal would be purchased and facilities would be constructed in locations
specified no later than 1999. It is anticipated that up to five homes would be purchased.
Task 4 - Attempt to Secure Grants
Continuous efforts will be taken over the next four + years to receive outside funding for storm
drainage improvement projects. Potential units of government for which funding could be secured
includes the State of Minnesota, Rice Creek Watershed District, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties,
Federal Government, Mn/DOT, County Highway Departments, adjoining cities, Soil and Water
Conservation Districts, FEMA, and the Metropolitan Council. This effort will attempt to secure
outside funding in the amount of$5 to $6 million.
Task 5 - Construct Storm Drainage Improvements
Storm drainage improvements will be constructed to the extent funding will allow during the period
1998 through the year 2002. It is anticipated the City would refrain from bonding for large scale
improvements until after 2001 so as to provide time to undertake efforts to receive outside funding.
Task 6 - Revise Storm Water Utility Fees -As Necessary
This task proposes to change the storm water utility fees beginning in the year 2001 to allow the
• remaining public improvements to be constructed by the year 2005. The amount of the fee increase
(if any)would be based on the success of receiving outside funding. It is anticipated that the City

• Preliminary Draft-Implementation Plan for Responding to Flooding

would utilize its bonding capacity as needed to allow improvements to be constructed by the year
2005. It is further anticipated the City might secure 15-year bonds to pay for improvements
constructed by the year 2005. These bonds would be anticipated to have 15-year maturity date so
as to be paid off by the year 2020. The recommended order in which storm drainage improvements
should be constructed and the preliminary estimated cost for the improvement is outlined below:

Yes we can have a speed study done. Mn/DOT is the agency responsible for
conducting all such studies, regardless of jurisdiction of the road in
question. To get Mn/DOT to conduct the study, we would have to write
them with a request that it be done. Before we do so, we generally wish
to have the city in -which the road segment-is Iodated pass a resolution
indicating support for such a study. ,
You should be advised that the outcome of the study can support a speed
limit reduction, no change, or a speed limit increase. Whatever Mn/DOT
finds as a result of its work, we are generally obliged to follow. This
is the reason why we like to have the city, pass a resolution to make
sure it knows the implications.

successful completion of goals, assess the direction the City is going and plan how to best
meet the challenges the City will face in the next two years.

result of the November elections, there are two new faces on the Council. This is their

Re: Renewal of St. Anthony Sports Boosters Pulltab Premise Permit
Dear Mike:
This letter is a followup to our conversation of Friday, December 4th. I would request
that the renewal of the premise permit for St. Anthony Sports Boosters for charitable
gambling by the city be put on the agenda for the city council meeting of January 13,
1998. Our permit will expire on March 31, 1998, and all paperwork must be filed with
the state no later than January 31, 1998. I have enclosed for your reference a copy of the
• premise renewal form and a copy of the resolution approving the old permit renewal. The
permit does run for only two years.
With respect to the lease, such lease is suppose to run concurrent with the length of the
premise permit. I enclose for your reference a copy of the lease form. Presently,we are
paying$800.00 per month in rent. We would propose that a fair adjustment would be a
rental figure of$900.00 per month. The maximum rental that would be permitted under
state law is $1,000.00 per month. I will contact you to insure that everything is on track
and to answer any questions that you may have. Your assistance in this matter is
appreciated.
Truly
yours,
Michael R. Peterson

XIV. PROPOSED HOUSEKEEPING RESOLUTIONS.
•
he AMM board developed the legislative contact system for two primary
reasons: (1) to keep AMM members involved in the legislative process and
(2) to improve the overall AMM lobbying effort. A city elected official or staff
member is chosen by each municipality to serve as a legislative contact between
the AMM, the municipality and its local legislators.
The legislative contacts help make legislators aware of the strong metropolitan
interest regarding certain issues. The contacts primarily interact with the AMM
and the municipality's senators and representatives during the early stages of the
legislative session to promote AMI(policy priorities, and during the later stages
when bills and legislation are finalized.
The AMM will ask the contacts to discuss specific issues with legislators. The
contacts will receive a broadcast fax from the AMM contact coordinator, Cheryl
Budewitz. The contacts then call or meet with the municipality's senators and
representatives to express the AMM's concerns. Contact with the legislators
usually occurs over the telephone, but the AMM encourages one-to-one contact.
O In addition to talking with legislators, the contacts brief their respective city
councils on AMMpriority policies and solicit official endorsements. The contacts
should update the AMM on the positions of the cities and legislators.
Contacts may wish to develop a sub-contact system by teaming with council or
staff members who have expertise in a particular area or have a special relation-
ship with a legislator. This could be developed on an issue-by-issue basis.
Building a rapport with legislators is essential to the AMM lobbying efforts.
Direct participation magnifies interest and gets results. The responsibilities of
the contacts are not time-consuming. However, their work is invaluable—the
contacts are essential to an effective AMM lobbying effort.

Dear Mr. ivlornson:
We would be pleased if you would consider the Focus Netivs as the City of St. Anthony's official newspaper for
the year 1998 at your City Council Meeting.
`We have missed working ;vita: the city this past year ir, placing your legals. 1'Ve have alv.ays enjoyed our
working relationship with St. Anthony and would like to have the opportunity to serve your legals needs again.
As you know, we endeavor to print each legal accurately and to follow any written specifications you have
included with your legal.
Because we realize the cities are trying to hold expenses to a minimum, we have restructured our legal rates.
We hope this will help you with the ever-spiraling budget problems we all seem to have these days. The rate
structure for legals, effective January 1, 1998, will be:
• 1 column width: $0.45 per line - first insertion ($4.95 per col. in.)
$0.35 per line - subsequent insertions ($3.85 per col. in.)
2 column width: $0.90 per line - first insertion ($9.90 per col. in.)
$0.70 per line - subsequent insertion ($7.70 per col. in.)
Notarized affidavits will be provided for each of your publications. All publications should be received in our
office by Friday at noon preceding our Thursday publications. In order to expedite our service to you, please
direct your legal notices to Focus News, attention Linda McIntyre, Legal Publications, 2819 Hamline Avenue
N, Roseville, MN 55113. We prefer legals not be faxed unless it is a late legal and we will gladly work that out
with you. We are having great success using E-mail or a disk and transferring information into our computer
system. These procedures have made this year's legal ads error free which is what we all strive for in a legal
publication. If you have budget reports or anything done on a spread sheet, we will still continue to use your
hard copy and reduce your original to fit our paper's size; therefore, no disk is needed. If you have any
questions or are in doubt on a specific legal, please give Linda a call at 633-3434.
Thank you for considering the Focus News as your official newspaper for the upcoming year. We would be
honored and pleased to serve you and look forward to a mutually beneficial working relationship with the City
of St. Anthony.

October 7, 1997
7:00 P.M.
5 I. CALL TO ORDER.
6 Meeting called to order at 7:01 p.m.
7 II. ROLL CALL.
8 Councilmembers Present: Ranallo, Marks, Enrooth, Wagner, Faust.
9 Also present: Michael Mornson, City Manager; Kim Moore-Sykes, Management
10 Assistant; Dick Enrooth, Police Chief; Dick Johnson, Fire Chief; Roger Larson,
11 Finance Director; Mike Larson, Liquor Operations Manager; Greg Schmit, Building
12 Inspector.
13 The City Manager introduced the City's new Building Inspector, Greg Schmit.
14 111. DISCUSS AND REVIEW 1998 BUDGET AND TAX INFORMATION WITH
15 CITY STAFF.
16 The Mayor commented on the City's valuation. He reported that St. Anthony will
17 have an estimated levy of 2.4% and a City budget increase of 3.6%. He indicated
18 that this increase is due partly to cost of living increases built into union contracts and
19 a significant increase in health insurance costs. The Mayor explained that the
9difference between the levy and budget will be made up with funds from the reserves.
21 The City Manager summarized General Fund highlights. The City Manager reported
22 significant increases to line items for Elections, which increased because there will be
23 two elections in 1998; and City Hall/ Community Center, which proved to be more
24 expensive to maintain than originally projected. The City Manager reported that one
25 important reason for the increase in City Hall maintenance is that the new building is
26 being used more that the old building. He indicated that these line items went above
27 3% in increases; most of the other line item increases were at or below 3%.
28 The City Manager discussed how property tax rate is determined. He indicated that
29 once the property class rates and levels of state funding are set, then unfunded
30 mandates, county assessments and tax levels of other taxing districts taken into
31 account. He said this year's rate for St. Anthony will increase 2.826%. The City
32 Manager reported that a portion of this rate increase is the result of an overall drop of
33 16% for Hennepin County commercial tax capacity and a 16% drop as well for
34 apartment tax capacity. He said this translates into a shifting of the tax burden to
35 residential homeowners. But he reported a positive impact to homeowners in that the
36 state has increased state aid to school districts, decreasing the amount taxpayers pay
37 to the schools.
00,
The Finance Director discussed the proposed City Tax Rate and what contributed to
the 2.8% increase. He cited the drop in commercial and apartment rates as the cause
for the significant change in the tax rate.
41 The City Manager reported on what residents will get for their tax dollars.
1 Councilmember noted that the City is short of Staff. The City Manager indicated that
2 additional hiring for Public Works has been on hold until a new Public Works
3 Director has been appointed.
�4 IV. NORTHWEST YOUTH & FAMILY SERVICES PROPOSAL.
5 Councilmember Marks noted that he felt NWYF was a very important part of the
6 youth picture. He stated he supports the proposal. He indicated that recidivism rate
7 is 25% without a diversion program; with a diversion program, recidivism rate is
8 12%. He noted that NWYF is asking for 1.25% per capita, which is about $9,000 of
9 an investment for the City. Councilmember Wagner also noted that there has been a
10 request from ACTION, which is a local program. Both noted that these programs are
11 very worthwhile. Councilmember Faust stated that it appears that NWYF lacks fiscal
12 responsibility. He stated he was not comfortable with their numbers and felt that
13 ACTION provided more "bang for the buck". Councilmember Marks thought that it
14 was because the City has no direct input with NWYF, therefore can't get comfortable
15 with the organization. Councilmember Enrooth stated that Hennepin County has
16 discontinued funding to NWYF. The Mayor stated that the City was to provide
17 Public Health and Police services; that the state and county are to provide for social
18 programming.
19 V. COMPUTER UPGRADE PROPOSAL.
20 The Finance Director reported on Computer upgrade and Internet access for the City.
21 He stated that TIES has given the City a proposal to assist the City with the proposed
22 computer upgrades and MIS support. He stated that he recommends accepting the
3 TIES proposal as their major clientele are school districts and as such, it is an entity
that will be around a long time. The Council asked the Finance Director to explore
5 other options as they want a plan/design specific to the City and they want support
26 from agencies that deal specifically with cities. Councilmember Marks stated that he
27 would like to assist in the upgrade for the City.
28 VI. UPDATES ON UPCOMING ISSUES AND MEETINGS.
29 A. Street Neighborhood Meetings - October 21. The City Manager reported that
30 a meeting with the residents on 33rd Avenue has been scheduled regarding
31 sidewalks. He indicated that he sent letters to these residents last month.
32 B. Parks Task Force - October 20. Councilmember Wagner reported that the
33 task force discussed possible sites for play areas and narrowed it down to one
34 or two areas. He indicated that it is difficult for the group to commit to
35 getting the Community Services tot lot completed first; many members want to
36 propose to build the tot lot adjacent to the building as large as possible so that
37 it can be used on a shared basis with the public. Councilmember Wagner felt
38 it needs to get done now or won't get done if left as part of a larger package.
39 He stated he will have more information at the Council's October 14th
40 meeting.
41 C. Planning Commission -- Ordinance Change, October 21. The City Manager
42 noted that the Planning Commission will be considering an amendment to the
azoning ordinance establishing regulations for churches, temples, and
44 synagogues at its October 21st meeting. The Council will get their
45 recommendation at the October 28th Council meeting.
1 D. Public Works Director Selection and Retirement. The City Manager reported
2 that he will be selecting a new Public Works Director by the end of the week.
3 Larry Hamer's retirement open house is scheduled for October 24th.
04 E. Union Contract Proposals. The City Manager reported he will have the
