RESOLUTION APPROVING THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL MUNICIPAL
PUBLICLY OWNED INFRASTRUCTURE INFLOW / INFILTRATION GRANT
PROGRAM APPLICATION
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Resolve to approve the City's
application for a Metropolitan Council administered Municipal Publicly Owned
Infrastructure Inflow /Infiltration grant program.
Passage of this motion allows for the City's application for a competitive grant using
state appropriated funds for the correction of inflow and infiltration (I &I) problems in the
City's sanitary sewer system.
Overview
The Minnesota Legislature appropriated to the Metropolitan Council $3 million for a
grant program to provide grants to municipalities for capital improvements to municipal
wastewater collection systems to reduce the incidence of I &I. The grant provides for 50
percent of the project cost to a maximum of $50,000.
Lakeville is eligible to receive grant funding as a past contributor of excessive l &I to the
Met Council's metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system. The City has committed to
correcting I &I problems causing the excessive flows through annual system televising
and maintenance activities. To participate in the grant program, the Utilities Division
has identified approximately $55,000 in eligible pipe and manhole repairs for 2011.
The Metropolitan Council, through the I &I Grant Program, requires proper authorization
to undertake the grant program and the designation of an individual to apply for and
receive funding. Christopher J. Petree, the Operations & Maintenance Director, is the
City's point of contact for the grant application process.
Staff has reviewed the funding opportunity and recommends approval.
Primary Issues to Consider
• By not participating in the grant, the City's efforts to correct I &I problems in the City
will be reduced and could result in a repeat of prior year excessive I &I flows.
Supporting Information
• Attached are planned project activities.
