May 23, 2013 Tri -City Council Meeting — Recap
Barr Engineering Co. presented an update on the feasibility of an emergency backup water supply
plan to the Crystal, New Hope and Golden Valley city councils. The three city councils agreed to
move ahead with the project and to consider adoption of a resolution at their council meetings. The
councils wanted the resolution modified to include development of a finance plan.
The commissioners discussed the revised resolution and Norris agreed to modify #3 in the
resolution to clarify the JWC will present the recommended financing plan to a Tri -City Council
meeting later in 2013.
The goal for the fall Tri -City Council meeting will be to discuss the water rates and the financing
plan. Clancy will ask Scott Harder to monitor the Minneapolis progress on the rate study.
The TAC will determine who will prepare the plans and specifications for the project, and who will
develop the request for proposals for the emergency water supply plan.
Update on County Road 9 Trunk Watermain Proiect
Progress on the project is slow and is yet in the design stage.
