for
October
24th
2017.
A
C
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
committee,
members,
my
name
is
Kelly
Moriarty
and
I'm,
an
engineer
with
the
surface
water
and
sewer
division
before
you
today
is
a
public
hearing
for
assessment
of
outstanding
sewer
availability
charges,
also
known
as
sack
fees.
I'll
start
with
some
background
on
the
Metropolitan
Council
wastewater
and
sack
fees,
the
Metropolitan,
Council,
Environmental,
Services
or
NCES
collects
and
treats
wastewater
at
seven
regional
treatment
plants.
Mc
es
is
responsible
for
ensuring
that
sufficient
sewer
capacity
exists
to
provide
this
service,
as
well
as
to
provide
for
plan
development
funds
to
operate.
C
My
council
systems
are
collected
in
two
ways:
the
municipal
wastewater
charges
and
sewer
availability
charges.
Municipal
wastewater
charges
are
paid
by
municipalities
for
the
treatment
of
wastewater
generated
within
their
jurisdiction
in
Minneapolis.
These
charges
are
then
passed
on
to
individual
property
owners
via
utility
bills.
Sac
is
a
charged
to
reserve
sewer
capacity
for
newer
increased
discharges
into
the
Met
Council
collection
system.
Sac
is
assessed
based
on
the
estimated
maximum
potential
daily
wastewater
flow,
which
is
directly
linked
to
the
usage
of
individual
properties.
C
C
Minneapolis
pays
the
fees
upfront
to
Mecca,
Council
and
then
bills,
business
and
property
owners
to
recoup
these
upfront
payments
Minneapolis
also
participates
in
the
Met
Council
sac
deferral
program,
which
allows
businesses
to
defer
some
sac
payments
over
time.
Thirty-Eight
businesses
signed
up
for
this
program
through
third
quarter
of
2017.
Three
businesses
have
closed
since
the
beginning
of
the
program,
and
the
city
will
only
assess
that
case
for
the
closing
date
of
business.
The
resolution
before
you
today
is
for
adopting
eleven.
C
The
assessments
for
eight
properties
with
outstanding
sakti
is
for
a
total
of
nine
thousand
five
dollars
and
33
cents.
Seven
of
these
properties
of
outstanding
sacrifise
from
the
sac
deferral
program
and
one
property
has
outstanding
sack
due
to
an
incorrect
stock.
Fake
calculation
customers
still
have
the
option
to
pay
through
the
end
of
the
year
to
avoid
interest
charges
on
the
assessment.
A
There
any
questions
for
the
presentation
seeing
none
I
will
then
open
the
public
hearing,
and
this
is
the
public
hearing
for
item
1.
Anyone
sign
in
no
one
signed
in
and
in
wish
to
come
forward
and
make
comment
and
wish
to
come
forward.
Seeing
no
one
coming
forward.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
the
item
before
us.
Is
there
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
the
cent,
a
name
that
carries?
We
can
now
move
to
our
last
item,
which
is
discussion,
item
number
16,
director
Hutchinson.
A
B
Glen
Jarrod's,
our
director
of
water
treatment
and
distribution,
is
going
to
make
a
brief
presentation
to
give
you
some
background
on
an
update
to
the
city's
water
supply
plan.
This
is
a
routine
update
of
a
plan
that
is
required
by
the
Minnesota
Department
of
Natural
Resources
and
also
as
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan
update.
So
Glen
will
spend
a
few
minutes
explaining
it
and
then
it
is
also
an
action
item.
Good.
D
We're
gonna
talk
about
the
water
supply
plan
and
what
is
the
water
supply
plan
I'm?
It's
a
high-level
planning
document
required
by
the
Minnesota
statute,
103
G
point
291,
and
this
is
the
third
generation
of
this
water
supply
plan
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
it
hasn't
changed
a
whole
lot
over
the
last
two
iterations
of
it.
The
template
for
this
plan
is
provided
by
the
DNR
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
approved
by
the
DNR,
but
it's
also
routed
through
the
Met
Council.
D
The
timing
of
when
this
plan
is
due
puts
us
about
a
year
year-and-a-half
ahead
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
but
we
submit
this
plan
and
then
it's
adopted
by
addendum
later
it
does
apply
to
all
community
water
supplies
that
service
over
a
thousand
people
and
the
genesis
of
the
plan
was
actually
the
1988
drought
was
when
they
decided
that
a
lot
of
communities
are
not
prepared.
So
the
the
plan
requirement
was
developed.
D
It
was
formally
called
the
water
emergency
and
conservation
plan,
which
I
think
was
actually
a
little
bit
more
insightful
in
terms
of
what
the
plan
was,
and
frankly,
it's
more
useful
to
smaller
communities,
because
in
many
cases
in
smaller
communities,
this
will
be
their
entire
planning
document
for
their
for
their
water
supply.
In
the
case
of
Minneapolis,
it's
just
a
requirement
that
basically
is
a
almost
like
a
bare-bones
approach
to
a
week
and
because
we
do
something
such
a
grander
scale
just
because
of
our
size.
D
D
The
second
part
emergency
response
procedures,
list,
the
emergency
response
procedures
and
emergency
preparedness
documents,
the
third
part
or
C
identifies
programs
and
strategies
focusing
on
reducing
demand,
improving
the
efficiency
and
minimizing
water
loss,
and
the
fourth
part
applies
to
the
Comprehensive
Plan
requirements
for
the
Democratic
metro
area.
So
if
you're,
not
in
a
SEM
economy
area,
there
is
no
Part
D
we'll
go
through
to
these
parts
real
quickly
as
to
what's
in
them.
So
the
water-supply
description
evaluation
is
basically
an
inventory
of
our
treatment
and
storage
facilities.
D
There's
a
discussion
of
future
demands
and
adequacy
of
our
source
and
I
thought.
It
would
be
interesting
at
this
point
just
to
talk
about
the
adequacy
of
our
source.
When
we
look
at
the
the
graph
here
you
can
see.
This
is
the
flow
of
the
Mississippi
River
as
measured
at
the
Anoka
dam,
and
this
goes
back.
I
believed
in
1956,
and
you
can
see
that
there
are
a
couple
times
when
the
river
dips
below
the
4,000
cubic
feet
per
second
Merck.
So
what
does
that
really
mean?
D
That
still
only
puts
us
at
106
eighty-six
cubic
feet
per
second,
so
I
think
it's
clear
that
you
know
there's
more
than
enough
water
in
that
River
to
supply
the
needs
of
Minneapolis,
the
customers
that
we
serve
as
well
as
st.
Paul
and
additional
growth
for
the
for
the
Minneapolis
st.
Paul
and
any
other
suburban
communities.
That
would
like
to
switch
over
to
the
great
taystee
in
Minneapolis
River,
water.
D
Emergency
response
procedures.
Frankly
our
plan
for
emergency
response
and
vulnerability
a
couple
years
ago.
We
did
this
k100
vulnerability
assessment
as
far
as
I
know
we're
still
the
only
community
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
who's
done
that
a
very
robust
plan
looked
at
all
our
vulnerabilities
and
it
also
invested
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
into
emergency
repairs
and
response.
What's
required
in
this
document
is
just
you
know,
a
bare-bones
approach
to
emergency
response.
Oh,
we
have
documentation.
We
have
plans
that
go
well
beyond
what
this
plan
dictates.
D
Interesting
to
note,
though,
that
you
know
we
had
to
do
adopt
the
city
or
the
state
statutes
with
respect
to
prioritization
of
water
needs
in
case
of
a
drought
situation,
domestic
water
supply
is
a
priority
one
and
as
far
as
the
scale
goes,
six
as
you
can,
as
you
can
probably
surmise
as
irrigation,
lawn
watering,
irrigation
and
washing
cars
and
stuff
like
that.
So
as
you
do
go
into
drought
conditions,
you
prioritize
and
draw
people
out
for
that
list
and
a
prioritized
nature
set
by
the
state.
D
It's
also
interesting
I
think
to
note
that
only
once
that
I
recall
have
we
had
to
do
that,
and
that
was
back
in
the
88
drought
and
bear
in
mind
that
the
way
that
the
the
drought
is
called
in
Minnesota
based
on
the
flow
of
the
river
I,
believe
it's
like
2,000
cubic
feet
per
second.
So
we
started
hitting
these
drought
indicators
that
flows
that
are
well
above,
but
we
would
consider
a
real
drought
scenario
in
terms
of
really
impacting
the
our
ability
to
get
water
out
of
the
river.
D
Water
conservation
plan,
which
is
the
third
part
of
this
just
a
little
bit
about
conservation
in
general.
Typically
when
water
supplies
look
at
conservation,
the
primary
impetus
for
conservation
plans
are
twofold:
one
is
you
have
a
supply?
That's
not
sustainable.
You
have
a
grunt
in
the
case
of
groundwater.
If
you
don't
have
enough
groundwater
to
supply
your
community
you're,
going
to
look
at
conservation
very
differently
than
when
you
have
a
supply,
that's
very
sustainable.
The
second
thing
about
conservation
is,
if
you
have
a
need
to
build
additional
capacity
for
that
peak
demand.
D
I
hear
investing
a
lot
of
capital
money
to
meet
peak
demands,
conservation,
can
delay
and
then
sometimes
eliminate
the
need
for
that
additional
infrastructure.
In
the
case
of
Minneapolis,
we
have
the
capacity
to
produce
a
lot
more
water
than
we
can
sell.
So
none
of
those
two
water
conservation,
ideas
or
impetus
really
apply
to
many
one
of
the
ways
you
look
at
how
effective
you
are
in
conservation
or
what
I
like
to
call
wise
water
use.
Is
your
peaking
ratio,
which
is
basically
looking
at?
D
What
is
your
average
day
your
maximum
day
and
the
state
has
a
goal
of
they'd
like
to
see
that
below
2.6
and
Minneapolis
were
actually
a
1.78,
so
we're
well
below,
where
they're
trying
to
get
a
lot
of
these
communities
to
get
to
the
other
thing.
To
look
at
with
respect
to
conservation
is
the
per
capita
use
residential
again,
the
state
goal
is
to
try
to
get
people
at
or
below,
75
gallons
per
capita
per
day
per
person
per
day
in
the
case
of
Minneapolis
were
already
at
54.
D
So
even
without
a
real
strong
conservation
messaging
program,
people
in
Minneapolis
get
it
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
the
large,
suburban
Lots
with
respect
to
a
lot
of
sprinkling
and
stuff
like
that.
So
in
terms
of
wise
water
use,
I
think
Minneapolis
does
a
does
an
exceptional
job,
I
should
say
Minneapolis
residents
do
an
exceptional
Councilmember,
Palmisano.
A
E
D
Chair
Reich,
I'm,
cutting
home
so
I
know
that's
part
of
it.
I
think
you
know
the
the
messaging
and
people's
awareness
of
conservation
over
the
last
couple
decades
and
has
grown
exponentially.
Also
back
in
the
late
80s
early
90s,
there
was
a
big
move
to
go
to
more
water,
wise
fixtures
and
I
think
you
know
it
took
a
period
of
time
for
that
to
actually
kick
in,
but
I
think
we
see
that
now
that
you
know
you
have
low
flush
toilets.
D
You
have
a
lot
of
those
water
efficiency
appliances,
whether
it's
refrigerators
or
washing
machines,
dishwashers
and
things
like
that.
So
I
think
the
combination
of
the
two
people
just
being
smarter
about
how
they
use
water
and
then
the
plumbing
fixtures,
which
have
made
a
difference
over
over
a
period
of
time.
D
F
F
Is
that
it
and
then
on
the
report,
it
said
a
lot
was
to
be
determined
in
terms
of
how
that
might
work.
If
there
was
an
emergency
would
that
make
any
sense
and
I
think
if
there's
a
just
in
terms
of
planning
in
both
directions,
so
we
could
maybe
be
helping
our
neighbor,
but
they
may
so
they
could
assist
us.
Could
you
give
me
just
a
little
status
report
about
how
that
might
work
or
where
that's
at
sure.
D
Again,
councillor
Reich
councillor
garden:
there
is
a
interconnect
that
we
took
advantage
of
when
Light
Rail
went
in
and
frankly
I
think
if
I
remember
correctly,
it's
a
16
inch
I
think
it's
a
16
inch
interconnect.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
there
would
be
some
fringe
use
for
that
interconnect
for
people
that
are
close
to
that
area
and
the
same
person
and
the
same
for
st.
Paul,
but
it,
but
in
terms
of
having
a
big
impact
on
our
system.
It
won't.
D
F
D
Know
we
have
emergency
plans
and
what
we
do
is
we
like
to
look
at
everything
in
terms
of
risk
and
when
we
look
at
the
the
risk
of
losing
that
river
from
a
contamination
event
depending
on
the
contamination
event,
one
of
the
easy
things
to
do
is
we
close
our
intakes
and
we
let
the
contamination
event
go
by,
and
then
we
go
back
to
operation
and
we'll
use
that
two
day
supply
to
sort
of
bridge
that
gap.
We
do
have
a
very
robust
treatment
scheme.
D
So
we
can
treat
a
lot
of
stuff
that
comes
down
the
river,
but
in
terms
of
again
I
think
if
you
look
at
the
consequence
of
losing
that
River
consequence
is
huge.
But
if
you
look
at
the
likelihood
of
it,
it's
very
small,
so
the
overall
risk,
as
a
result
of
that
is
small.
So
when
we
look
at
investing
dollars
into
our
system
instead
of
investing
in,
for
instance,
backup
wells.
C
D
Are
very
expensive
and
may
or
may
not
never
run,
and
you
have
this
huge
expenditure
and
maintenance
bill
going
forward.
There
are
probably
better
areas
where
we
can
invest
to
limit
risks
that
are
more
likely
to
happen
and
have
a
similar
consequence
and
because
the
security
issues
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
what
those
are.
But
there
are
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
to
hardened
our
defenses
for
that
type
of
event,.
A
They're
good
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Well,
thank
you
for
this
I
think
any
opportunity
we
have
to
highlight
something
that
sometimes
is
taken
for
granted,
but
is
so
fundamental
and
vital,
is
important
and
also
I,
think
it's
great
to
show
that
you
know
when
it
comes
to
requirements,
and
you
hear
different
communities
in
the
newspaper
not
for
good
things
like
your
lake,
perhaps
as
an
example,
people
will
ask
me
so:
what's
Minneapolis
doing
how's
Minneapolis
prepared.
F
A
This
is
just
highlights
it's
one
of
those.
Don't
take
it
from
me,
take
it
from
the
director
or
way
above
any
comparable
community
in
this
state
in
terms
of
what
we
do
or
proactive
or
robust
and
very
comprehensive
so,
and
this
makes
that
clear
to
the
public,
all
12
of
you
watching
us
on
cable
this
morning.
So
thank
you
with
that.
Our
agenda
is
open
or
over
and
we
are
adjourned.
Oh,
oh,
we
do
have
an
action.
