CITY OF CENTERVILLE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Agenda Item # X1.5 Department: Entileering Requested Council Meeting Date: July 28, 2021 TITLE OF ISSUE: Rice Creek Watershed District Erosion Control Inspection Pilot Program ............ BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: For several years, the city has been looking at ways to reduce the duplication of efforts between RCWD and the City. Both entities are responsible for Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) under our respective Minnesota Seperate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permits. There are b Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) in the MS4 permit. This proposed pilot program would have RCWD perform the required inspections under MCM 4 for both the city and RCWD. In shout, instead of having both a city inspector and a RCWD inspector looking at silt fences on any given project, we would just have RCWD. Typically, the city's consultant handles these duties at a rate of around $I30Jhr. These costs are passed on to the developers. With this program, RCWD would bill the city $551hr. The city would then pass this cost onto the developer instead. The result is a win -win: reduced costs to our developers and increased revenues to RCWD. If. this works, we would look at other MCMs. COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: No direct cost to the city; only pass through costs (which will be less than current costs) REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Motion to authorize execution of the Joint Powers Agreement with Rice Creek Watershed District for Coordination of Erosion and Sediment Control Inspections. ................
