i I t CASE # / PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #99~67 (STORM SEWER FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER STORMWATER SUBDRAINAGE DISTRICT NO. 1) By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: The ordinance creating the Mississippi River Stormwater Subdrainage District No. 1 was passed on February 22, 2000 and went into effect on April 3, 2000, thirty days after publication. The purpose for the creation of the District is to address the storm water needs of the District. The eastern portion of the District has been developing, however, the property owners of the western half of the District have indicated they do not anticipate developing in the near future. Although a public hearing on this improvement project was held on February 22, 2000, the City Attorney has advised that a public hearing should be held once the District has been legally established. Thus, this is the purpOse of tonight's hearing. Attached is a copy of the feasibility study, which was made available to each property owner. Also attached are schematics of five alternatives along with their total project costs that were considered before Alternative No. 1 was selected for utilization in the feasibility study. Alternative No. 1 has the following advantages: · Least cost · Services all properties within the District · Uses existing Business Park 95 pond for water quality treatment · Makes use of influent pipe as an outlet pipe for the Business Park 95 pond (A contribution of $102,500, 25% of the project costs, reduces the cost to the District.) Council Action: Following the public heating, the Council may either accept the feasibility study as presented or may direct modifications. The Council should also order plans and specifications and authorize negotiations for the necessary easements. Reviewed by: City Attorney Director of Public Works CC: 04/11/00
