2006-2010 CIP 2116/2006 Page 3 . · Inflow and Infiltration 0&1) City staff met with Met Council to discuss the current problem with I & 1. Based upon current data and conditioos, the City could f'ICC a $500,000 surcharge with Met Council if 1&1 is not reduced. This charge would be paid over five years, starting in 2007, but would be retrievable if the City spent any money to reduce ]&1. However, the City could "opt out" of the surcharge by committing an equal or greater level or local funding, (whatever amount is necessary), to implement 1&1 reduction. Staff is looking at what needs to be done to avoid the surcharge and is estimating costs of the necessary improvcments. Staff is also gathering infomlation from past O&M proccdurcs and projects that could be used as to assist in 1&1 reduction as well. Staff recommendations: Bascd upon the projected fund balance, the possibility of acquiring SCADA, and the immediate need to address 1&1, staff is rccommending to delay the lift station reconstroction project and reject the current bids. Once additional information is gathered regarding costs associated to each of these potential projects, staff will cvaluate when sufficient funds would be available to complete the lift station reconstroctlon. Storm Sc.wer Fund The 2006 PMP project ineludes a proposed estimate of $410,000 to be used from the Storm Sewer Fund. This amount will causc the fund balancc to dip significantly below the infi)rmal . balance of $500,000. However, at the end of 2009, the projccted balance is estimated to recovcr to about $600,000. Watermain Fund If the City takes on all the CIP and PMP projects as currently listed in tbe draft worksheet, the projected balance at the end of 2009 is estimated to be about $650,000. PROJECT SCHEDULE 2006-2010 The extent of the projects that are planned for 2006 and the remaining four years of the CIP are dependent on sevcral factors, ineluding those listed below. Staff would like input from Council as to whether to continuc with 2006 projects as planned and input on the other factors for future projects. 2006 PROJECTS (excluding 2006 PMP and Lift Station Reconstruction, discussed above) CSAH 96 Landscaping Projcct Ramsey County will be participating in thc funding of this project; the County will pay for trce replacement at a 2: 1 ratio of the number removed during the reconstruction of Highway 96. This equates to approximately $150,000 (45%) of the total project costs. The project may also be eligiblc for up to approximately $30,000 in reimbursement from MSA funds. Thc . remainder of the costs (approximately SI70,000) would be paid from the General Capital Fund. Staff will be meeting with the County to discuss thc cost-participation agreement, and
