The Minnesota Legislature <br />amended Statute 471.342 to allow the Met Council to provide grant funding to local municipalities <br />to assist private property owners with costs associated with repairing sewer infrastructure on their <br />property. The City of Arden Hills is 1 of 21 municipalities that have applied for the program. <br />Arden Hills requested $110,000 in grant funds but was awarded $47,000 as shown in the Grant <br />Agreement. <br />The Grant Agreement related to the MCES 2026 private property I/I program is provided as <br />Attachment A. Approving the Agreement allows the City to begin the program for private <br />property owners the first day of the month following the "Effective Date" as defined in the <br />agreement. <br />Budget Impact <br />This program is reimbursed by Metropolitan Council, so there is no direct budget impact. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: MCES Grant Agreement No. SG-26094 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
