WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey was one of forty (40) communities accepted into the <br />grant program with a grant allocation of $28,000; and <br />WHEREAS, to accept the grant funds, the City of Ramsey had to enter into a Clean Water <br />Fund Grant Agreement with the Metropolitan Council; and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey received an inquiry from a Home Owners Association <br />(HOA) about the potential for a separate rebate category for commercial/HOA properties due to the <br />greater device costs and greater water demands (both due typically to the larger areas covered by the <br />system); and <br />WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey's Environmental Policy Board (EPB) supports creating a <br />separate rebate category for commercial/HOA properties, which would incentivize these property <br />owners to upgrade their irrigation systems and thereby contribute toward the program goal of <br />reducing demand on the City's water system. <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: <br />1. That the Ramsey City Council hereby authorizes modifying the Water Efficiency Grant <br />Program to create a separate rebate category for commercial/HOA properties with a per device <br />rebate cap of $700 and a per property cap of $1,400 contingent upon approval by the <br />Metropolitan Council, if necessary. <br />Resolution #21-118 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
