630 Mr. Culver stated the entire solar grant and the City being proactive with lining the <br />631 sewer services is kind of a conflict with the insurance program. There is really no <br />632 reason to be proactive if subscribed to the insurance program because if there was <br />633 a problem it would get fixed. Of course there are deductibles, but the insurance <br />634 program covers issues that occur in the system. <br />635 <br />636 Member Joyce stated the Met Council knows how much water the City uses from <br />637 the meter but asked how are they determining the I&I. Mr. Culver replied there are <br />638 charts that show flow data of the meter. There are spikes when it rains and it is <br />639 very clear to see where the water is coming from using the Met Council resources. <br />640 <br />641 Member Kors wondered if the reimbursement for sewer backups was still in the <br />642 works. Mr. Culver stated the City's current policy for that is if a resident <br />643 experiences a sewer back up regardless of what the issue is, the resident can be <br />644 reimbursed up to $5,000 for clean-up. The city does not pay for restoration costs, <br />645 that would be the individual homeowner's insurance. <br />646 <br />647 Chair Cihacek noted that according to the City Council the Commission should <br />648 keep doing what they have been doing. The items the Commission has not <br />649 addressed they will begin to address shortly. The Commission will be discussing <br />650 water usage and conservation and hey still need to review organic recycling and <br />651 composting. <br />652 Rik <br />653 Member Wozniak indicated he heard the Council state the Commission has not yet <br />654 brought forth a recommendation for a drop off site for organics. Mr. Culver stated <br />655 that is one of those communication items. Staff has some conflicting messages <br />656 coming from different Commissions as far as that recommendation for the compost <br />657 site. They need to do abetter job of communicating what they want to do whether <br />658 it be to the Council or outside of that. Mr. Culver stated if staff gets into the practice <br />659 of sending a quick summary of the meetings and whatever recommendations were <br />660 made, then the Councilmembers could see it, read it directly, and bring it to a <br />661 Council meeting. <br />662 <br />663 10. Items for Next Meeting — August 28, 2017 <br />664 Discussion ensued regarding the August PWETC Agenda: <br />665 • Maintenance Facility Study / Tour <br />666 • Snow Event Parking Regulations <br />667 • Community Solar Garden Subscription <br />668 • Water Utility Rates <br />669 • Water Rate Incentives <br />670 <br />671 Mr. Culver indicated the snow event item can be scratched because it was on this <br />672 agenda and he thought the Commission was done discussing it. Chair Cihacek <br />673 thought staff could bring this back in September or October for further discussion, <br />674 if needed. But even then, it would not be implemented for a year because they <br />675 would need to educate the residents of the changes. <br />Page 15 of 16 <br />
