IV. Special Reports

A) Special Grants Update (Zwonitzer)

Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed Special Grant Projects that are near completion in the District. Mr. Zwonitzer shared

how CHS Field was initially awarded $225,000 for BMPs treating beyond permit requirements. In January

2014 the award was increased to $325,000 to include rainwater harvesting. In May 2015 the award was

increased again to $335,000 for interpretive concrete etching. The BMPs at CHS Field include: 27,000 gallon

rainwater harvesting cistern, tree trenches with Stockholm soil, vegetated swale, rain garden in parking lot and

underground filtration. Mr. Zwonitzer explained how the harvested rainwater is stored and treated. Manager

Jones asked about monitoring of the BMPs. Mr. Zwonitzer explained that the system will measure how much

was captured, but 2015 was not a full season. The system is meeting standards for improving water quality.

Manager Reider asked about when the system is shut down. Mr. Zwonitzer replied that is depends on the

weather. For winterizing, the system is completely drained and closed so it is not capturing runoff in the winter

season.

The Great River School was awarded $110,000 for rain water reuse, slope stabilization, permeable parking, play

surface, and soil testing. Manager Texer asked who is responsible for the maintenance of the rainwater

harvesting system. Mr. Zwonitzer replied that as the contract is stated, Great River School will be responsible

for the maintenance of the system. Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed the Pioneer Endicott Green Roof project. The

grant agreement was amended in October 2014 and reduced to $16,276. As the designs progressed the scope of

green roof system was reduced. The Pioneer Endicott Green Roof project is near completion and just waiting

for signage to be installed. The Twin Cities German Immersion School was awarded $10,000 in 2013. In

2014, the grant was amended to $20,000 for increased scope. In 2015 the Twin Cities German Immersion

School was amended again to $26,450 because of an increased scope. Mr. Zwonitzer provided an update on

plans for Central High School. In 2013, $10,000 was awarded for investigation and a feasibility study. In 2014,

$50,000 was awarded for additional design work. Construction at Central High School is scheduled for 2016

and CRWD has awarded $150,000 for installation. The Harambee Elementary School in Maplewood was

awarded $55,000 in 2015 for design and construction of rain gardens. The Managers thanked Mr. Zwonitzer for

his review.

V. Action Items

A) AR: Approve Minutes of the November 18, 2015 regular Meeting (Sylvander)

Manager Texer noted a correction.

Motion 15-251: Approve Minutes of the November 18, 2015 regular meeting with correction.


Jones/Reider


B) AR: Approve 2016 Special Grants (Zwonitzer)

Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed that typically a preliminary budget amount is set and then applications for projects to

fund are solicited. Applications for 2016 Special Grant funds were due October 2, 2015. Six application were

received totaling $1.04 million. The review committee met to develop funding recommendations. Five projects

were selected for full or partial funding, one project was determined not to provide sufficient benefit to warrant

funding. A total of $319,150 of the $350,000 available funds available is recommended for projects. The

remaining funds will be reserved to supplement projects if additional opportunities are identified or to fund

additional projects.

Motion 15-252: Approve funding for 2016 Special Grants agreements and authorize Board President and

Administrator to execute agreements pending approval of Assistant Ramsey County Attorney.

1. Catholic Charities - $10,000 for additional feasibility for a rainwater harvesting system at the

new Dorothy Day Center

2. East Side Neighborhood Development Company - $37,500 for “Pocket Neighborhood”

stormwater management feasibility study

3. Rondo Community Land Trust - $95,000 For feasibility, construction documents, construction

and educational signage

4. St. Paul Parks - $136,650 for construction of Swede Hollow stream improvements

5. St. Paul Parks - $40,000 for North Lake Como stabilization and habitat improvements

Reider/Thienes


C) AR: Approve Vehicle Purchase (Fossum)

Mr. Fossum reviewed how the District has been leasing vehicles from the City of St. Paul since 2005. The cost

of leasing from St. Paul continues to increase about 7% each year. The District is transitioning from leasing

from the City of St. Paul to leasing from Midway Ford. The district is currently leasing a sedan and SUV from

Midway Ford with the option to purchase at the end of the lease. Staff have determined a more customized

truck would increase efficiency of the District’s monitoring program. Staff have worked with Midway Ford to

design a customized 2016 F250 with a Knapheide canopy service body. This truck would have four wheel

drive, more storage for tools and monitoring equipment allowing staff to be more efficient. Purchasing this

vehicle could save the District an estimated $60,000 over ten years and provide a vehicle with a trade in or

resale value. The truck would be purchased with funds available from the 2015 budget.

Motion 15-254: Authorize Administrator to purchase 2016 F250 with customized box with Midway Ford for an

amount not to exceed $42,000.

Reider/Thienes


D) AR: Approve Engineering Work Order with Barr Engineering for TBI Repair Work (Eleria)


Mr. Fossum reviewed the 5-year capital improvement plan for TBI in place of Ms. Eleria. The plan identifies

four major CIP repairs in sections of the tunnel that are in fair or fair to poor condition. The first project

involves addressing missing mortar in the limestone blocks, sealing cracks, patching damaged concrete and

voids in nearly 3,000 feet of tunnel (starting downstream end) of CRWD’s ownership of TBI. The estimated

cost of construction is $1,110,000. Barr Engineering has prepared a draft work order. Tasks include pre-design

in-tunnel inspection to determine the estimated quantities for each type of repair, designing the tunnel repairs,

estimating construction cost, preparing bidding/contract documents, and administrating the bidding process.

Motion 15-255: Approve TBI Work Order No. 10 in an amount not to exceed $75,000 and authorize

Administrator to execute work order amendments not to exceed $7,500.

Thienes/Jones


E) AR: Approve Comments on Draft City of St. Paul Chapter 52 Ordinance on Stormwater

(Kelley)

Mr. Kelley reviewed that the City of St. Paul is required by their NPDES Phase I MS4 permit to update

stormwater requirements to include volume reduction. CRWD staff have participated in a City initiated

ordinance revision stakeholder group. Staff have reviewed the draft proposed ordinance and have provided a

comment letter that outlines three overarching concerns.

Water Quality for Small Sites

As outlined in Strategy 2.15 of the City’s Water Resource Management Plan, CRWD recommends the City

revise Chapter 52 to require volume reduction practices on developments greater than 10,000 square feet. Since

2009, CRWD has attempted to advance water quality and volume reduction practices on projects less than one

acre. At the City’s request, CRWD removed proposed language within its Rules that would require volume

reduction on projects less than one acre. At the time, the upcoming City Ordinance revision process was

identified as a potential solution to address these small sites, and the Water Resources Management Chapter of

Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan identifies Strategy 2.15 to develop water quality standards on small sites.

Current and proposed revisions require private developments to invest in significant rate control infrastructure

for all sites greater than 10,000 square feet, but do not require any water quality practices for sites less than one

acre. Through previous analysis of actual small sites with municipally approved plans, CRWD determined that

volume reduction and water quality practices could be implemented through slight modifications to rate control

infrastructure with a nominal cost increase of approximately 1-3% of total project cost.

Permitting and Review Process

Currently, Chapter 52 requirements are reviewed as part of the City Site Plan Review process. However, unlike

other City ordinances, Chapter 52 does not specify what city department is responsible to review and determine

compliance with stormwater runoff standards, or how inspection and enforcement will be implemented post

approval. CRWD understands and supports the efforts to eliminate duplicative review processes by exempting

projects that require Watershed District permits, but it is unclear what impact the review for projects that are not

within Watershed Districts, including street projects (and small sites if implemented), will have on City staffing

and budget constraints. CRWD recommends clear delineation of responsibilities between Public Works and the

Department of Safety and Inspections within the ordinance, and a guidance or policy document intended for use

by applicants to navigate the permitting process.

Ordinance Focus


The current ordinance has a clear focus on erosion and sediment controls during construction. Many of the

definitions and requirements pertain to temporary practices appropriate for implementation on active

construction sites. The proposed updates add limited language that requires permanent stormwater volume

control and water quality practices. With this required expansion of focus, much of the terminology and intent

becomes inconsistent and at times confusing. CRWD recommends significant effort be taken to eliminate

redundancies, and utilize terms and language more commonly used by stormwater practitioners found within

existing local, state, and national regulations. For example, Stormwater Pollution Control Plan should be

replaced by Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Additional clarification and consistency is required to

provide clear differentiation between temporary best management practices (BMPs) to control construction site

runoff and permanent Stormwater BMPs for post-construction stormwater management

Managers felt the letter was well written and did not have any recommendations for changes.

Motion 15-256: Approve Draft Comment Letter on City of St. Paul’s Proposed Revised Stormwater Runoff

Ordinance.

Reider/Jones


F) AR: Approve Amendment for Special Grant for the Midway Stadium Redevelopment

(Zwonitzer)

Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed that in December, 2014 the Board approved a grant totaling $150,000 to the St. Paul

Port Authority (SPPA) for the Midway Stadium redevelopment site. Of those funds, $10,000 was designated for

educational signage, and $10,000 was designated to install water sampling wells. The remaining grant funds

were designated for innovative BMPs that treat above and beyond CRWD rules. There was an added stipulation

that since the proposed infiltration BMP was so large it should treat runoff from other properties, primarily

Energy Park Drive.

Though Energy Park Drive is a County road, the stormwater infrastructure is managed by St. Paul. SPPA

approached the City about directing flow from the sewer to the large infiltration BMP at the Midway site. The

City would not allow it due to liability concerns. SPPA also approached the property to the west, but they were

unable to reach an agreement. The project will treat a small area of the fire safety facility to the east as well as the

site’s entire footprint to roughly a three inch event. Since the project will have less benefit than the original

proposal, staff are recommending a reduction in the grant award to a total of $120,000.

Motion 15-257: Amend 2015 Special Grant award to Saint Paul Port Authority for the Midway Stadium

Redevelopment project as follows: $10,000 for educational signage, $6,500 for monitoring equipment

installation, and $103,500 for BMP installation for a total grant award of $120,000.

Reider/Thienes


G) AR: MAWD Annual Meeting Resolution Recommendations (Texer)

Manager Texer reviewed that as part of the annual meeting of the Minnesota Association of Watershed District

(MAWD), delegates are asked to consider and take action resolutions submitted to the membership. Manager

Texer shared that Coon Creek has withdrawn resolution number seven. Manager Texer viewed the six items

listed on the Annual Meeting Resolution Agenda. Agenda item number one is to amend language by adding

Association of Minnesota Counties to represent. The second agenda item is to raise road levels so not to


become flooded. The third agenda item is to raise the Managers per diem to $100 per meeting. The fourth

agenda item is for Watersheds to have input in a buffer protection map. The fifth agenda items is from Crow

FROM: Mark Doneux, Administrator RE: Adopt Final 2016 Budget and Certification of Levy

Background

The Board has discussed and reviewed the preliminary 2016 Budget and Tax Levy during several

meetings and workshops this summer. A copy of our summary budget and hearing notice was sent to

the affected cities and Ramsey County officials in August. The Citizen’s Advisory Committee reviewed

and provided comments on the proposed 2016 budget and levy at their August meeting. A duly noticed

Public Hearing was held on August 19th to collect public comment on the proposed 2016 budget and

levy.

Issues

The Board of Managers must adopt and certify a Final 2016 Budget and Levy Certification before the

December 30, 2015 deadline. The Board of Managers held a special workshop on July 27th to review the

draft budget and levy.

Based on the Board recommendations, the final budget provides $459,950 for Administration, $1,879,389

for Programs, $787,391 for Projects for a total Operations Budget of $3,126,730 and $5,697,701 for

Capital Improvement Projects. This results in a total 2016 Budget of $8,824,431. This is an increase of

$3,300,183 from the 2015 Budget. The proposed 2016 tax levy is $4,267,771. This levy includes

$3,897,230 for the general levy and $369,336.00for debt. This levy is $863,104 or 25.35% higher than

2014.

Requested Action
