- 2 - Recommendations 1. That although the plans and specifications for the Anoka interceptor are technically consistent with the approved Development Program, they are not consistent with the Development Progrmm stipulation that Anoka participate in the cost of the interim force main and lift station to convey flow from the Anoka interceptor to the Anoka plant. It is recognized that the lack of a cost participa- tion agreement from Anoka is based on the current inability to define the precise character of the connection between the interceptor and the treatment plant. 2. That the request for the $2.3 million in additional.funds for the Anoka interceptor contained in the proposed 1980 Capital Budget cannot be authorized at this time because of the procedural inconsistency between the budget request and the approved Development Program'relative to the connection between the Anoka interceptor and the Anoka treatment plant. 3. That an amendment to the 1980 capital Budget for additional funds for the construction of the Anoka interceptor, should be submitted for Metropolitan Council action during January 1980 if the following has occurred: a. An appropriate connection between the Anoka interceptor and the Anoka treatment plant has been identified based on the conclusions of the MWCC 201 Northwest Area Study. 1) If the CAB interceptor alternative is selected, an agreement between Anoka and the MWCC should be provided indicating the extent of Anoka's participation in the cost of the connection. Subsequently, a 1980 Capital Budget amendment request should be submitted for funds to prepare plans and specifications for the interim connection with construction to be financed by Anoka. The design of the connection should be coordinated with the City of Anoka and reflect service needs only until the time the CAB interceptor is completed. 2) If the expanded Anoka plant alternative is selected, the MWCC should submit appropriate Development Program and Capital Budget amendments for the design and construction of a permanent metropolitan facility to connect the Anoka interceptor ~and the Anoka treatment plant. b. The MWCC has provided a firm indication of the state and federal grant availability for the Anoka interceptor based on determinations made by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. JF:im
