WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature has appropriated to the Metropolitan Council of
Environmental Services (MCES) in the 2020 State Bonding Bills, $5,000,000 for a grant
program to be administered by the MCES for the purpose of providing grants to municipalities
for capital improvements to public municipal wastewater collection systems to reduce the
amount of inflow and infiltration to the MCES metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system (I/I
Municipal Grant Program); and
WHEREAS, the MCES has identified the City of Medina as a contributor of excessive
inflow and infiltration to the MCES metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system and thus an
eligible applicant for grant funds under the I/I Municipal Grant Program; and

determined amount up to 50% of eligible improvements completed between January 1, 2021 and
December 31, 2022; and

Council of Environmental Services (MCES) for grant funding for improvements to the publicly
owned sanitary sewer system to reduce inflow and infiltration; and

expenses during the grant activity period or $50,000. In addition to the PMA an additional Final
Reimbursement Amount (FRA) will be allocated proportionally to grant participants, determined
based on eligible project expenses submitted and available remaining grant program funds.
