The City of Orono has a significant I & I problem <br />because of high groundwater and sewers near Lake Minnetonka. This > the second round of <br />grants available. The City obtained a grant during the first round in 1996. Completion of the work <br />for this lirst grant is substantially complete. Televising and manhole and pipe rehabilitation was <br />completed in the Saga Hill area under the first grant. The intent of the MCES is to offer this <br />program every two years. This application will be for work to be completed during 1998 and 1999 <br />with the next grant application anticipated for the year 2000. <br />Work in the Casco Point and the area between Navarre and Tonka Bay is being proposed for this <br />grant application. This is a 50% matching grant program. The proposed program for the next two <br />years is for $60,000 to be spent on manhole and pipe rehabilitation and $20,000 programmed for <br />manhole and pipe inspection. This results in a required City contribution of $20,000 per year for <br />the next two years, total City amount of $40,000. There are funds appropriated in the 1998 <br />budget for this work and continued budgeting of this money will be necessary in 1999. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve resolution authorizing the submittal of an I/I reduction grant from the <br />Metropolitan Council Environmental Services.
