A copy of that agreement, with some minor revisions, is attached for your review. The final draft should be available early in May. In discussing this issue with Councilmember Sorteberg, we concluded that the agreement is acceptable. Basically, each City will be responsible for doing their own studies which will be submitted to a third party for assembly and presentation to the Metropolitan Council for approval. As you know a Comprehensive Storm Drain Study has been completed for most of the areas south of Trott Brook. This was done at a cost of some $15,000. The City Engineer estimates that completing the study for the remainder of the City will be some $10,000. This could vary depending on the complexity of the law as additional information may be required in the previously studied areas. The water management organization costs for the first year are estimated at $12,500. Ramseys share, based on the formula, would be $4,875. The cost for preparing the final plan is estimated at $15,000 with Ramseys share being $5,850. If the City Engineers $10,000 figure is accurate, then we could expect our total costs to be about $21,000. This could be levied to the County or funded from other City sources. The other member cities will be acting on this issue in early May. We should consider it at the next meeting so as to prevent any further delays. CRB :sb
