MEMORANDUM TO: C( ': FROM: DATE: RE: Ry,a~ Schroeder, City Administrator Official ' ~ GlYh Huff, Building i Janies Gromberg, Project Manager iMa~ch 16, 1992 iOn-Site Septic System Replacement Grant On March 12, 1992 I attended a workshop on the Individual On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Grant Program. The City of Ramsey does qualify for being placed on the funding list for this grant pro ~g~'am provided that the City takes the following steps: 1) Adopt !a resolution requesting placement on the funding list. I have attached a resolution With the required information. The resolution must include: a) iDeSignating municipality as responsible party for submitting required ~ information. b) i Authorizing City to submit future application. 2) c) : Authorizing City official to sign documents for program. DevelOp map showing planning area to be eligible. As we have discussed before, tkis would include the area outside of the proposed MUSA area. 3) 4) Generate preliminary list identifying addresses that may have failing or non- conforming systems. This list will take some time to compile, however, the City may want to declare all systems built before 1977 as eligible and inspect each site to determine if the system is failing or non-conforming. The City may receive reimbm'sement for up to 50% of the cost of site inspections. Obtain median household income data for the City. This information will be availahle from the 1980 census data which should help the City qualify for a higher .ranking as tthis data will not reflect the higher value development that has occurred ~n recent years. 5) 6) Develop estimated schedule of implementation of the program. Adopt an ordinance adding the requirements of Minnesota Rules Part 7080 to the City Code.' The City must also establish a maintenance plan for systems. This would be the biannual publication of a R~rnsey Re. sident newsletter article.. 7) Acquire estimates of the cost for the replacement of the system. This fi~mn'e would be der,loped by multiplying those estimates by the total number to be replaced. After completion and submittal of this information, the City Will be l~laced on the fundin~ list The rank of the City onlthe funding list will be based upon the median household income (the lower the median income, the higher the ranking).
