COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: SETTING DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR STATE REVOLVING FUND
CLEAN WATER LOAN IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,700,000 FOR
SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
BACKGROUND:
This loan provides funding for the annual program for rehabilitation/reconstruction of
deficient sanitary sewers and deteriorated manholes at various locations throughout the
city. The City's Capital Improvement Plan includes State Revolving Fund (SRF) Clean
Water Loan funding to make significant improvements to three projects, referred to as
Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation (Manhole Rehabilitation — Basins 1 & 5), Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation (Flood Prone Manholes), and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation (pipe lining).
System improvement locations have been identified through field investigation completed
over the last several years. Through manhole inspections, smoke testing, and televising,
several structural defects (rating of 4 or 5) have been identified as priorities within this
program.
An SRF Clean Water Loan in the amount of $5,700,000 provides funding for this Sanitary
Sewer System Improvements program. Repayment of the loan will be from the Sanitary
Sewer Fund. This action will set the public hearing, which is required to proceed with
the SRF loan.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . The City Council can set September 25, 2018 as the date of public hearing to enter
into a State Revolving Fund Clean Water Loan agreement in an amount not to
exceed $5,700,000.
2. The City Council can delay the hearing on the loan agreement.
3. The City Council can decide to fund these improvements from other revenues
sources.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Setting the date of public hearing will ensure that City staff can proceed with the loan
funding and sanitary sewer system improvements plan as previously approved by City
Council.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council approve
Alternative No. 1 , as described above.
