Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Metropolitan Council — 2026 Private I/I Grant Program Resolution Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: MCES Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: • Resolution 202-071 approving the application for Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) 2026 private property Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Grant Program Background/Discussion The 2026 Private I/I Grant Program is the 2nd year for Met Council. It will again provide $1.5 million in wastewater revenue to provide grants to private property owners to help with repairs that will remove and prevent clear water from entering the wastewater treatment system. The Minnesota Legislature amended Statute 471.342 to allow the Met Council to provide grant funding to local municipalities to assist private property owners with costs associated with repairing sewer infrastructure on their property. The City of Arden Hills is 1 of 81 other municipalities that are eligible for the program. For the 2025 Private I/I Grant Program, Arden Hills requested $90,000 but was awarded $41,000 as the entire $1.5 million was split between the other participating municipalities. Staff will likely be submitting similar to last year but will have the final value for the grant request after calculations are done through the application process. A resolution related to the application for MCES 2026 private property I/I grant program is provided as Attachment A. Budget Impact This program is funded through Metropolitan Council, so there is no direct budget impact. Attachments Attachment A: Resolution 2025-071 Page 1 of 1
