INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend the setting of a public hearing on the
issuance of a not to exceed $1,600,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes SRF Planning
and Design Loans.
DISCUSSION
$160,000 of the proceeds will be used to fund the planning and design of the
rehabilitation/reconstruction of the sanitary sewers serving Auburn and Custer Street area,
the Center Place Area, the Cooper and Maiden Lane area, and the Hawthorne to Fengler
Street "track line" sewer that runs along the railroad tracks. These sewer systems have all
been identified as significant sources of I&I due to their deteriorated conditions.
$350,000 of the proceeds will be used to fund the planning and design for the system
improvements to the Catfish Creek Lift Station and Force Main Project. This project
involves system improvements to address wet-weather related overFlows at the Catfish
Creek Lift Station and provide capacity for future development within the Catfish Creek
sewer shed.
$970,000 of the proceeds will be used for the planning and design of the Sanitary Asset
Management Master Plan to allow the City to better understand the condition of its assets,
current and future deficiencies and needs, and the financial resources necessary to
rehabilitate and replace assets when necessary. The core components of the undertaking
are as follows: level of service requirements, asset inventory, critical asset identification,
condition assessment (CCTV pipe inspections, manhole inspections, flow metering, etc.),
life cycle costing, prioritized replacement/improvements schedule, and funding strategy.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
I respectfully recommend the adoption of the enclosed resolution fixing the date of
February 15t" for a public hearing on the proposition of selling not to exceed $1,600,000 in
Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes (Interim Financing) State Revolving Funds for the
Auburn and Custer, Center Place Area, Maiden Lane Area, Hawthorne to Fengler Street
