Approve Shared Service Agreement for Vehicle Gateway Base (VGB) with White Bear Township City Staff had recently purchased a Vehicle Gateway Base (VGB) station which allows for water meters to be read remotely from inside a vehicle. This purchase was made jointly with White Bear Township as both the City and the Township use the same meter reading technology. The cost of the equipment was split evenly between the two municipalities and an agreement was drafted which identifies operation and maintenance terms. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the VGB Shared Service Agreement with White Bear Township. Approve MOU for Completion of CWF Competitive Grant Application for CSAH 8 Water Reuse Project The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) has a Clean Water Fund (CWF) Project and Practices Competitive grant application that staff feels the County Road 8 Stormwater Reuse project would score well on. RCWD and the City agreed that it is mutually beneficial to cooperatively undertake these types of stormwater reuse projects to improve surface water quality and reduce the stress on local aquifers due to increased water demands. RCWD had also agreed to reimburse the City up to 50% of the costs associated with the completion of the CWF Project and Practices Competitive grant application, not to exceed $4,300. This was outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Hugo and RCWD. The CWF Project and Practices Competitive grant currently had $11.6 million dollars available for FY 2019 and requires a 25% match. BWSR had made this grant available for projects that will protect or restore water quality in lakes, rivers or stream, and/or will protect groundwater or drinking water. The City had already received up to $60,000 from the RCWD’s Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost-Share Program for this project, which can be used in conjunction with any other funding that may be obtained. The total estimated project costs for the County Road 8 Stormwater Reuse system were estimated to be $440,000. Haas removed this from the Consent Agenda to ask City Engineer Mark Erichson for additional information. Erichson provided background on the grant application stating it would be used to irrigate the boulevard trees on Oneka Parkway using water from the pond located at the intersection of Oneka Parkway and CSAH8. This could potentially save 5-6 million gallons of ground water annually.
