Council Meeting Minutes for April 17, 2023 Page 4 of 6 if the development did not move forward. This lift station would also serve as a regional lift station and receive wastewater from the ultimate development of the N-1 sewershed of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Wastewater Plan and beyond. Therefore, the lift station needed to be designed for both the initial flow conditions and the ultimate maximum flow conditions of the regional sewer-shed. It was not only necessary to serve the Oneka Place development, but the entire area south of Elmcrest Avenue and south of 165th Street as outlined in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. At a high level, staff had reviewed the potential of increasing the service area of this lift station to include a portion of P1 (area north of 165th Street) to make the properties easier to develop. Adding in this service area would allow the properties to extend water and sewer from the south, rather than water from the south and sewer from the north. Downstream sewer analysis had been evaluated and the system could accommodate this additional service area. Staff recommended including this additional service area for the design of Lift Station No. 12. As outlined in the City’s sewer rate justification report, trunk sanitary lift stations were to be paid for and constructed by the City of Hugo. Preliminary project cost estimates were estimated to be in the $600,000-$650,000 range. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved authorization to proceed with preparation of plans and specifications.
