Meeting Date: 04/12/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #16-04-062 Approving a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Anoka for Sanitary Sewer Service Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case it to consider adopting attached Resolution #16-04-062 approving the attached Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the Cities of Anoka and Ramsey to allow the City of Anoka to connect to the City of Ramsey's sanitary sewer system to serve two parcels owned by the City of Anoka. Background: In 2015, the City of Anoka planned to extend trunk sanitary sewer and water utilities through the previously proposed Ridgepoint single-family residential development to serve two City of Anoka owned parcels commonly known as 6058 Highway 10, a 0.43 acre parcel with PIN #35-32-25-31-0001, and 6050 Highway 10, a 3.85 acre parcel with PIN #35-32-25-31-0004, shown in Figure 1 (attached). However, the Ridgepoint development was aborted in the fall of 2015, forcing the City of Anoka to re-evaluate the most cost-effective means to serve their two parcels with utilities in the future. The City of Anoka now wants to connect to the City of Ramsey's trunk sanitary sewer system immediately north of Highway 10 to serve the two parcels with sanitary sewer as cost-effectively as possible. Anoka plans to supply the two parcels with water by connecting to Anoka's trunk water supply system north of US Highway 10. Exhibit A (attached) shows the proposed utility connection locations. Anoka therefore submitted the attached JPA to the City of Ramsey for consideration of approval. If approved, the JPA will allow the City of Anoka to connect to the City of Ramsey's sanitary sewer system using a gravity sewer system. This work would include core drilling a hole into the City of Ramsey's manhole, installing a water tight boot, boring a casing pipe under Highway 10, and inserting an 8 inch PVC sewer pipe through the casing pipe and the boot in the manhole. If the JPA is not approved, the City of Anoka plans to connect to their own sanitary sewer system by installing a sewer forcemain along the south side of Highway 10 to connect to their sanitary sewer system along Cutter's Grove Parkway, though this option would cost the City considerably more to construct.
