Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #18-029 approving the City of Ramsey's participation in the Metropolitan Council Water Efficiency Potential Project. Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #18-029 at this time. Funding Source: No costs are associated with this request, other than the time it will take Staff to gather and provide the requested water supply system data. Recommendation: Based on the response received from the Metropolitan Council confirming that the study results will not adversely impact the City of Ramsey, and the potential for the study to result in future cost savings for water supply infrastructure, Staff recommends alternative # 1. On January 16th, the Public Works Committee recommended City Council approval to participate in the Metropolitan Council Water Efficiency Potential Project by a vote of 2 (for) to 1 (against), contingent on confirmation by the Metropolitan Council that the results of the project will not adversely impact the City of Ramsey, including its businesses and residents. As noted earlier, the consensus of the EPB was to support the `survey' portion of the project after ensuring that the results of the study would not adversely impact the City of Ramsey by creating an unfair burden on City water users. Action: Motion recommending City Council approval to participate in a Metropolitan Council Water Efficiency Potential Proj ect.
