CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Item # Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: <br />July 28, 2021 <br />Engineering <br />WS 1 <br />TITLE OF ISSUE: <br />Rice Creek Watershed District Erosion Control Inspection Pilot Program <br />BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: <br />For several years, the city has been looking at ways to reduce the duplication of efforts between RCWD and the <br />City. Both entities are responsible for Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) under our respective Minnesota <br />Seperate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permits. There are 6 Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) in the MS4 <br />permit. This proposed pilot program would have RCWD perform the required inspections under MCM 4 for <br />both the city and RCWD. In short, instead of having both a city inspector and a RCWD inspector looking at silt <br />fences on any given project, we would just have RCWD. Typically, the city's consultant handles these duties at <br />a rate of around $130/hr. These costs are passed on to the developers. With this program, RCWD would bill <br />the city $55/hr. The city would then pass this cost onto the developer instead. The result is a win-win: reduced <br />costs to our developers and increased revenues to RCWD. If this works, we would look at other MCMs. <br />COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: <br />No direct cost to the city; only pass through costs (which will be less than current costs) <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Work session discussion only. <br />SUPPORTED DOCUMENTS ATTACHED <br />Motion By: ____________________________________ <br /> Resolution Ordinance Contract Minutes Plan Map <br />Second By: ____________________________________ <br />Vote Record: Aye Nay <br /> _____ <br />_____ <br />Draft Agreement <br />Other (specify) ____________ <br /> _____ _____ <br />_____ <br /> _____ <br />_______________________________________________________________ <br /> _____ _____Ki <br /> _____ ____________________________________________________________________ <br />Administration Department Use: <br />Refer to: _________________________________ <br />Consent <br /> Tabled Until: ______________________________ <br /> Regular <br /> Other: ___________________________________ <br /> <br />
