Public Works Director / City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Metropolitan Council — Private I & I Grant Program <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: <br />N/A <br />Council Should Consider <br />N/A <br />Funding Source: <br />MCES <br />Council should consider applying for the Metropolitan Council's Private I & I Grant Program. <br />Background <br />City staff received direction from City Council to research the Metropolitan Council's (MCES) <br />Private I & I Grant Program. This is separate from the MCES "Public" I & I Grant Program that <br />the City already participates in. <br />The 2024 Private I & I Grant Program is a "Pilot" year for Met Council. It will provide $1.5 <br />million in wastewater revenue to provide grants to private property owners to help with repairs <br />that will remove and prevent clear water from entering the wastewater treatment system. The <br />Minnesota Legislature amended statute 471.342 to allow the Met Council to provide grant <br />funding to local municipalities to assist private property owners with costs associated with <br />repairing sewer infrastructure on their property. The City of Arden Hills is 1 of 81 other <br />municipalities that are eligible for the program. The program would reimburse a private property <br />owner 50% of the construction costs up to $5,000. <br />For more detailed information, the Met Council program webpage can be visited here: <br />https:Hmetrocouncil. org/Wastewater-Water/Funding-Finance/Available-Funding-Grants/Private- <br />Property-Inflow-and-Infiltration-Grants. aspx <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
