'!r- EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: December 10, 2012 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <qk SUBJECT: 2013 MCES I/I Grant Backl4round As directed by City Council, staff has applied for a 2013 MCES I/I Grant for lining of sanitary sewer mains. We applied for $169,023 in grant monies based on lining the sewer mains shown on the attached exhibit. The grant pays for 25% of the sewer lining with the City paying for 75%. The City included $500,000 in the 2013 CIP anticipating this Grant opportunity (the CIP sheet is attached). There were more grants requested than available monies so the Preliminary Minimum Allocation (PMA) for Arden Hills has been determined to be $154,382. After the close out of the 2011 Grant Program and the opt-out period for the 2013 Grant Program our allocation could be increased. As the Council may remember, there is a period where cities offered 1/1 Grants may partially or wholly opt-out. That period is from now until December 21 St. If the Council would like to partially or wholly opt-out they should direct staff to submit the attached form to MCES. If the Council would like to accept the entire grant offered there is no action needed. If the Council accepts the entire grant, we will then receive our final grant money notification by December 31St and in early 2013 be asked to enter into a grant agreement. Council Action Requested If the Council would like to accept the MCES 1/I Grant there is no action needed. If the Council would like to partially or wholly opt-out of the Grant Program they should direct staff to submit the attached form to MCES to notify them of the City's decision.
