REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date:March 6, 2023 <br />Item No.:10.f <br />Department ApprovalCity Manager Approval <br />Item Description:Approve Long Lake Lift Station Easement Agreements <br />1 B ACKGROUND <br />2 As part of the 2023 sanitary sewer capital improvementplan, the Long Lake Lift station location on <br />3 Long Lake Road, south of County Road D, is scheduled for replacement. It was designed in 2021 <br />4 but was put on hold for construction until this year. The original lift station was built in 1967and is <br />5 in need of upgrades to the pumps and controls. Additionally, one of the major goals of the project is <br />6 to relocate the lift station further away from the roadway. Currently, the lift station sits between the <br />7 curb and the sidewalk, separated only by a guardrail. With the large amount of semi-trucktraffic <br />8 along Long Lake Road, the location makes it susceptible to damage from an out-of-control vehicle <br />9 or a turning vehicle into the adjacent parking lot. A new location will also provide more room for <br />10 safer maintenance to be performed on the lift station. <br />11 Staff worked with the 3070 Long Lake Road propertyowner, LLR Investments, LLC, to acquire a <br />12 permanent easement for the new lift station and a temporary easement needed during construction. <br />13 They are in agreement with the City acquiring easements for a value of $10,000. <br />14 The City Attorney hasdrafted the easement documents. <br />15 P OLICY O BJECTIVE <br />16 It is City policy to keep City-owned infrastructure in good operating condition and to keep systems <br />17 operating in a safe condition. <br />18 B UDGET I MPLICATIONS <br />19 The cost of the two easements is $10,000. Future costs for the construction of the lift station are <br />20 estimated to be $355,000.
