398 <br />Member Cihacek suggested a "Water 101" and "Sewer 10 1 "presentation <br />399 <br />and discussion to make sure everyone was on the same page; however, he <br />400 <br />questioned if water issues were the same as those of sewer based on age and <br />401 <br />longevity, and suggested a specific review of the problems for each of those <br />402 <br />utilities. Based on prior discussions, Member Cihacek noted the need to <br />403 <br />determine whether or not the City knew the condition of its infrastructure <br />404 <br />and how that data is tracked. Therefore, Member Cihacek suggested the <br />405 <br />sewer liability and insurance discussion in September followed by the water <br />406 <br />system in October, with ongoing discussions of affiliated issues continued <br />407 <br />into the winter PWETC meetings. <br />408 <br />409 <br />• Sump Pump Update (Seigler)� <br />410 <br />Member Seigler asked ifsufficientinformationavailable as tothe <br />411 <br />number of sump pumps flowing into the sanitary sewer mains, or if the <br />412 <br />PWETC should wait until the program was finalized. <br />413 <br />i <br />414 <br />Mr. Culver advised that 75% to 80% of Ferguson tallations should be <br />415 <br />done by October. However, Mrd Culver clarified that until installations <br />416 <br />done in May and June, sump pump inspections were not being done, and <br />417 <br />therefore the data would of be complete other than some random sampling <br />418 <br />data that may suffice. ulver suggested waiting until the December <br />419 <br />PWETC meeting o a picture was available, offering a great <br />420 <br />sssand recommendations to the City Council. <br />discu' about next <br />421 <br />422 <br />• Salt/Chloride Use During Winter for Ice Control (Seigler) <br />423 <br />Member Seigler sought an update from staff on ongoing issues with use of <br />424 <br />salt for,,111 <br />425 <br />%AN66h, <br />426 <br />Mr. Culver advised that chloride entering the public water system continued <br />427 <br />to be a growing concern, especially with the possibility of the Minnesota <br />428 <br />Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) implementing Total Daily Maximum <br />429 <br />Loads (TMDL) and associated reporting requirements and regulations. Mr. <br />430 <br />Culver noted that obviously the easiest target was public agencies — the <br />431 <br />state, counties and cities — and potential future restrictions limiting their use. <br />432 <br />While this was difficult to mandate on the private sector side, Mr. Culver <br />433 <br />noted it was a valid discussion for public entities as more information <br />434 <br />became available on those regulatory mandates. <br />435 <br />436 <br />• Snelling Avenue Bus Rapid Transit Update (after Minnesota State <br />437 <br />Fair) <br />438 <br />439 <br />• Revisit Master Pathway Program and Rescoring Protocols (Stenlund) <br />440 <br />441 <br />Chair Stenlund clarified that he wasn't suggesting it be redone from a public <br />442 <br />works perspective, but seeking consistency in the scoring as part of an <br />443 <br />overall review of priorities. <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
