Department Approval: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 7/13/87 ITEM NO.: E% = l Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: Reports and recommendations Item Description: 1988 Grass Lake WMO budget Each year the Grass Lake Water Management Organization prepares a preliminary budget and submits it to the two member cities of Shoreview and Roseville for their comments. Although neither city has approval or disapproval power, the WMO is interested in the viewpoints of each of the cities. Attached is a copy of a cover letter from the Grass Lake WMO as well as the proposed budget. Please note that the budget is set up in two portions. The first is the $94p5O0 which is to be shared on a 50 -50 basis between the two cities. The second is $66,000 which would be funded solely by the City of Shoreview for work they had requested the WHO to do in their behalf. The cost to the City of Roseville for 1988 would, therefore, be $47,250. This amount is up somewhat from the $32,000 Roseville share of 1987• The primary reason for this is the beginning of the project to provide new control structures on both Owasso and Wabasso with connecting pipes. This $30,000 item is actually the beginning of this project and is tentatively projected to cost a total of $300,000. This together with the $10,000 control structure for Grass /Vadnais near Rice Street are items in the approved Capital Improvement Program as part of the overall management plan for this WMO. The extremely dry winter and spring of 1987, unfortunately, resulted in the water quality testing on Lake Owasso, Lake Wabasso, and Snail Lake having to be abandoned for this season. Certain costs to redo a part of this study are included in the budget as well as the major portion of the work which is now scheduled for 1988. Due to the delays, the final report will not be received until the spring of 1989. In summary, the budget appears to be in keeping with the long range Capital Improvement Program of the WMO and is reasonable. Funds for these expenses would come from the storm water drainage fund and would be paid in two installments in 1988. COUNCIL ACTION: Motion directing the staff to indicate to the Grass Lake Water Management Organization that the preliminary 1988 budget has been reviewed and is acceptable.
