G.18 Approve Encroachment Agreement for 14123 Oneka Parkway North Tim and Carli Hofferber have requested an encroachment agreement to allow construction of a fence within a drainage and utility easement on property located at 14123 Oneka Parkway North. The Senior Engineering Technician has reviewed the location of the fence and is comfortable with the request. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving the encroachment agreement for 14123 Oneka Parkway North. G.19 Approve Preparation of Shoreland Ordinance Revisions The EDA has been discussing the future of the City owned property in downtown. They have approved a marketing plan for the property. With the approval, they made a recommendation to start the process with the DNR on amending and updating the shoreland ordinance to include implementation flexibility. Implementation flexibility allows local governments to deviate from certain shoreland rules in the State Statute but will require incorporation of restrictive or higher standards in other areas of the shoreland ordinance. It is in staff’s opinion that the shoreland ordinance should be reviewed and updated. The shoreland ordinance is out of date and there are other benefits to updating the ordinance that will give the City more administrative approvals. Staff recommends the City Council authorize staff to start the ordinance amendment process. G.20 Approve Pay Request No. 3 to C.W. Houle for Lift Station 12 Project C.W. Houle, Inc. has submitted Pay Request No. 3 in the amount of $140,204.04 for work certified through April 20, 2024, on the Lift Station No. 12 Project. The electrical work has been completed and the lift station will be operational soon. Staff recommends Council approve payment to C.W. Houle, Inc. in the amount of $140,204.04. G.21 Approve Hydrology Data Collection by WSB for the North Star Wetland Bank At the meeting of June 12, 2023, Council approved a scope of work from WSB to prepare and submit the prospectus document for the North Star Wetland Bank. Additional data was collected in 2023. The prospectus was drafted in winter 2024 and submitted for evaluation by the Technical Evaluation Panel. The TEP has not yet made a decision on the prospectus, but it is likely that additional hydrology data will be required. In 2023, the Council approved the purchase of data loggers. WSB provided an estimate of $7,852 to relocate existing monitoring wells, install the city’s data loggers, and compile hydrology data in 2024. Staff is recommending approval of 2024 hydrology data collection at North Star Wetland Bank by WSB, estimated at $7,852.
