MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 29, 2012
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Patrick Klaers, City Administrator
FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: MCES Grant Application Resolution
Background
In 2011 the City applied for and received an approximately $200,000 grant from the
MCES for assistance in eliminating inflow/infiltration (1/1) from the sanitary sewer
system. The grant monies paid for 25% of the cost of lining clay sanitary sewer lines
which are susceptible to infiltration. The grant rules essentially state that 50% of the cost
of lining is for maintenance purposes and not grant eligible; the other 50% of the cost is
deemed to be for eliminating infiltration and is half grant eligible. Therefore, 25% of the
total cost of lining the sewer mains is grant eligible.
The MCES received another $4,000,000 from the State bonding bill (they received
$3,000,000 in 2011) for another round of grants in 2013. City Council consensus at a
recent Work Session was to apply for another MCES grant for 1/I reduction,
understanding that when the grants are announced there would be an opportunity to
decline the grant. The application for the grant requires a Resolution indicating City
Council support for the grant application. Attached is a resolution, similar to the one
adopted in 2010, indicating Council support for the grant application.
Council Action Requested
Adopt attached Resolution 2012-037, Supporting the Application for an MCES Grant for
the Elimination of Inflow and Infiltration.
