Attachment A AGREEMENT 1.0. PARTIES. THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into to be effective the 8Mday of -fd^,e- , 2009 by and between the City of Arden Hills, a Minnesota statutory city (the "City") and Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills, Inc., a Minnesota non-profit corporation ("Presbyterian Homes"). 2.0 RECITALS. A. The City owns and operates a sanitary sewer system consisting of sanitary sewer mains, lift stations and appurtenances. B. Lift Station No. 7 is a part of the City's sanitary sewer system. C. The City's sanitary sewer regulations prohibit property owners from discharging cloth, rags and similar materials ("Objectionable Materials") into the City's sanitary sewer system, or in the alternative, permit the City, at the sole cost of the property owner, to install and maintain traps, grinders, and/or interceptors within the private sanitary sewer system of the offending property owner. D. Presbyterian Homes owns and operates a facility whose occupants discharge Objectionable Materials into the City's sanitary sewer system. E. The Objectionable Materials and other sewage flow from the Presbyterian Homes facility to Lift Station No. 7 where the Objectionable Materials and sewage are pumped to a higher elevation and eventually flow by gravity to the Metropolitan sanitary sewer interceptor. F. The Objectionable Materials have clogged the pumps in Lift Station No. 7; have required the City to incur abnormal maintenance expenses; and have reduced the useful life of the pumps. All of the above factors have resulted in the recent replacement of two 10-horse power chopper pumps with two 10 horse power submersible pumps which, according to the City Engineer, need to be utilized in conjunction with an inline grinder in order to adequately handle the Objectionable Materials. G. The City has determined that the installation of an inline grinder located either within Lift Station No. 7 or within a portion of the private sanitary sewer system on the property of Presbyterian Homes, is necessary to resolve the problems created by the discharge of Objectionable Materials from the Presbyterian Homes facilities. H. Presbyterian Homes intends to construct an improvement project ("Improvement Project"), at a future date, and has indicated that it would prefer not to install an inline grinder on its own property until such Improvement Project is constructed. The City has agreed to the installation of an inline grinder within Lift Station No. 7 pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
