Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 24, 2014 Page 7 Mr. Trudgeon responded that this expense was related to audio updates, and there still remained some audio playback issues, as Councilmember Willmus had alert- ed staff to, with diagnoses and fine-tuning still underway to address those remain- ing issues. Mayor Roe noted that, in his discussions with CTV technicians, the playback is- sues were not necessarily with the City's equipment,but interfacing between CTV and Comcast. With the recent audio upgrades in the Council Chambers, Mayor Roe noted that those audio issues could be dealt with from the booth versus work- ing through issues in a less efficient and effective manner. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, to approve the year-end amendments to the 2013 Budget as detailed in the RCA dated March 24, 2014. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Etten; McGehee; Laliberte; and Roe. Nays: None. c. Approve Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Clean Water Fund Grant Agreement No. SG2014-002 for the Sewer Lateral Grant Program At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon briefly summarized this re- quest as detailed in the Request for Council Action(RCA) dated March 24, 2014. Councilmember McGehee sought a clarification of where the Inflow and Infiltra- tion(I & I) issues were located: whether mostly in the stub, or in the laterals. Public Works Director Duane Schwartz advised that it was difficult to determine exactly where the I & I was coming from. With the request for this program, Mr. Schwartz advised that it would address the main to the building, with that entire lateral system for homeowners in Roseville eligible for this grant program, which could involve a portion of the line or relining the entire system, on a case by case basis depending on the situation. Councilmember McGehee questioned the average distance and cost involved for typical homeowners. Mr. Schwartz advised that both distance and costs would vary; however, with a typical residential neighborhood and 30' setback, the distance was typically 60' from the foundation on average. Mr. Schwartz further advised that costs could vary from a few thousand dollars to replace a portion to in excess of$10,000 to replace the entire length, depending on frost and tree conditions. Councilmember McGehee referenced previous discussions on economies with a larger group of properties for lining in the same vicinity.
