ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—JULY 22, 2019 6 MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to approve Mounds View High School Developer Agreement Extension to September 30, 2019. The motion carried (5-0). B. Motion to Approve Sewer Line Ownership, Operation and Maintenance Agreement City Administrator Perrault stated in 1994 Mounds View, Arden Hills and the Army entered into a sanitary sewer use agreement for the Mounds View owned sanitary sewer located on the common border between Mounds View and Arden Hills. He reported it was necessary to amend this agreement because Ramsey County has purchased the TCAAP property. Mayor Grant asked if Ramsey County were to sell the property to a developer if they would no longer be a part of this agreement. City Attorney Jamnik explained the agreement goes beyond the property transfer. He reported the updates would address the inter-connect with Mounds View as well as expansion use for this sewer line. He stated once this agreement is done, this easement will remain in place and will not be impacted by a subsequent property transfer. Councilmember Holden asked if Mounds View would be paying for the flow going through this sanitary sewer line. City Attorney Jamnik reported the existing and future flows would be metered and noted this language was included in the agreement. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to approve Sewer Line Ownership, Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the cities of Arden Hills, Mounds View and Ramsey County and authorize the City Administrator to make minor amendments upon receipt of Mounds Views proposed revisions. Councilmember Holmes stated she did not appreciate just receiving this information tonight and noted she did not understand it. She questioned if action could be tabled to allow for further discussion. City Attorney Jamnik reported this item has been going back and forth between the City and Mounds View for some time and staff was hoping to get the matter wrapped up. He advised staff was trying to put this item through to make sure Arden Hills was not delaying a State project or other development project. Councilmember Holden summarized the agreement noting this same agreement had already been in place for several years, except it was with the Army instead of Ramsey County. City Attorney Jamnik reported this was the case.
