She 2 explained the Housing Resource Centers have a single-family program where homes are 3 purchased, rehabilitated, and resold to lower income households. She explained they also have a 4 pre -development loan program where funds are loaned to other non-profit developers to enable 5 their affordable housing programs.

He stated he is emboldened by the fact of how many people will come in with a 38 bid to ask if they are getting a fair deal. Mayor Faust state there is no housing maintenance code 39 per se, but this is a good incentive for people to be involved in housing rehabilitation to keep 40 homes viable.

Mayor Faust pointed out this keeps 42 the community viable and housing stock viable for the future.

Mr. Hubmer indicated the Foss 7 Road lift; station and the forced main would be increased in size to handle the additional sanitary 8 flow from the new development and to convey that to the Metropolitan Councils line in 9 Roseville.

Ile stated it is a very 36 close bidding environment. 37 38 Councilmember Stille indicated it is wise the City went forward with the street reconstruction 39 projects at this time. 40 41 Mr. Hubmer reported the third bidding of the Foss Road Lift Station saved the City $355,000 42 over the last bidding and saved another $250,000 by eliminating the building. 43 44 Mayor Faust stated that by rejecting the earlier bids and combining them, the City saved 45 $350,000. He asked Mr. Hubmer to discuss some of the funding and costs. 46 11 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 9, 2007 Page 7 1 Mr. I-Iubmer stated a mixture of the proposed funding options would be used and the $2,000,000 2 of the project is the typical reconstruction amount done on an annual base in St. Anthony.

Hubmer, PE Date: January 3, 2007 Re: Revisions to City Ordinance Section 410 - Water System, Section 605 -Sewer, and Section 610 - Water It is proposed to amend Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City code to reflect changes related to replacement of the water meters and the card reading system in St. Anthony Village. The attached Ordinance 07-001. has all the proposed changes to the City code outlined for your review. The Ordinance changes reflect the following changes to the City's water system and billing system. Meters will now be read electronically by the City and will eliminate the need for utility cards and residents to read their own meters. 2. The City will no longer record water usage in cubic feet of water used. The City is converting to measure water use in gallons. 3. The water rates for 2007, under the existing Ordinance, would be $1.93 per 100 cubic feet of water used. This has been converted to a rate of $0.0026 per gallon. 4. The minimum charge for water usage will go from $19.30 (1,000 cubic feet) to $19.50 (7,500 gallons). The minimum bill will increase by .20 cents as a result of rounding associated with the conversion of the system from cubic feet to gallons. This concludes the report on the proposed Ordinance for amending Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the City code. I will be present at the January 9, 2007, Council Meeting to discuss these changes with you. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please call me at 763-287-7182.
