contamination found in two monitoring wells within in the Twin Lakes RedevelopmentArea. The additional investigation would be conducted by the City's environmental consultant, DPRA, who completed the work relating to the previous EPA investigation and study grants for the Twin Lakes RedevelopmentArea. If the grant funds are not awarded, the additional investigation would not occur until the properties are redeveloped at the redeveloper's cost. 3.2 The total cost of the proposed investigation is estimated to be $50,000. The grant requires that there be a 25% match from the applicant. Staff is suggesting that the match initially come from the existing Community Development budget for professional services in the amount of $12,500. However, if the Twin Lake's project is approved, these costs can be included in the public costs to be reimbursed by the benefit of the development either through a reimbursement agreement with Rottlund or through the future taY increment. 5.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 5.1 Per resolution, approve the submission of a Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Contamination Investigation and Response Action Plan Development grant in the amount of $37,500 to conduct additional assessment relating to areas where groundwater contamination has been identified as part of the US Environmental Protection Agency funded Area-wide Groundwater Contamination study with a local match of $12,500 from the Community Developmentprofessional services budget. 5.2 By motion, authorize the City Manger to execute a contract with DPRA Environmental to conduct the contamination investigation and the development of a response actionplan if the grant funds are awarded.
