217 Discussion included past grants for private sewer laterals funded with state 218 bonding money awarded by the Met Council and pending legislation to offer a 219 similar process for cities to have available yet again; cost economies available for 220 large scale projects versus on an individual basis; additional costs for 221 circumstances occurring during winter weather conditions; and the significant 222 amount of money involved. 223 224 Member Cihacek suggested a consideration needed to include the cost savings 225 component for the City to have uniform lines coming into a main and potential 226 cost savings available in other areas; and suggested ost savings analysis could 227 provide additional information for this review. 228 229 Other Considerations 230 • Discretionary immunity issues 231 • Determining where problem is located on lateral 232 • Lack of service lateral as built information (water tends to be more uniform) — 233 private developers and no city records available 234 • Fairness to properties that have replace this ' structure 235 • Other? 236 &111, 237 Discussion included replacement scenarios and ability of a homeowner to pay 238 costs upfront or over time as a special assessment; and new connections added 239 onto road ass ssment costs as applicable. 240 241 However, Mr. Schwartz noted tha complete the first phase of the 242 Pavement Management Plan (PMP ver the last 20 years, future road 243 reconstruction projects would be few and far between, with that investment made 244 and with few exceptions for a number of years, most projects would be 245 maintenance for mill and overlay versus pavement replacement. Mr. Schwartz 246 noted that there would be some water main or sewer main replacement projects 247 coming forward where a portion of pavement would be lost to open service lines. 248 However, Mr. Schwartz advisethat water service lines tended to have a longer 249 life cycle than sanitary sewer h es due to the original material specifications (e.g. 250 clay lines). Im 251 252 Member Seigler asked if staff was seeing an increase in failures due to the aging 253 housing stock in Roseville. 254 255 Mr. Schwartz responded affirmatively; however, conversely he noted the 256 increasing technologies available in lining sanitary sewer laterals, even though 257 they were fairly expensive at this point, which he estimated to be $7,000 to 258 $8,000 per individual line. Mr. Schwartz noted that, if there was sufficient 259 interest from 100% of the homeowners along a particular line, the entire 260 segment's service laterals could be lined at the same time, thereby reducing the 261 cost to $2,000 to $3,000 each, again based on the economy of scale. Mr. 262 Schwartz noted the advantage for a homeowner to have their laterals lined while Page 6 of 19
