Policy Implications: Roseville's assessment policy is to only assess properties once for storm sewer unless the improvement directly benefits a given property. In the case of Twin Lakes, properties had been originally assessed for storm sewer many years ago. When the new Twin Lakes Regional Pond was constructed, properties were assessed a second time for the cost to provide stormwater treatment -- an added benefit not provided by the original storm sewer project. The construction of this pond will allow these properties to redevelop without individual onsite stormwater treatment ponds - a new requirement of all redevelopment projects. The construction of the proposed Wilson Pond Connection project will provide a general public benefit, the reduction of flooding on Cleveland Avenue, but will not provide a direct benefit to individual properties. Therefore, it is recommended that the cost of this improvement not be assessed. Financial implications: The cost of the proposed Wilson Pond Connection project, $80,000 is proposed to be taken from the Storm Drainage Fund. This project is not part of the approved 2000 budget. Staff Recommendation: It is recommended that the Wilson Pond Connection project be constructed as soon as possible. Two Council actions are necessary for this project to proceed -- appropriation of funds to construct the improvement and permission to advertise for bids. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a motion to allocate $80,000 from the Storm Drainage Fund to construct the Wilson Pond Connection project. . , Approval of a motion approving the Wilson Pond Connection project and authorizing the advertisement for bids.
