A meeting of the Scandia Wastewater Advisory Committee was held on the above date. The
meeting was called to order by Chair Chris Ness at 6:00 p.m. In attendance were: Council
member Jim Schneider, Daniel Cartier, Wayne Schmidt, and Brad Bergo. Staff Kristina Handt,
Tim Keiffer, and Engineer Ryan Goodman. Members absent were Holly Kaufhold and Doug
Salmela.
Motion by Schneider, seconded by Cartier to approve the minutes from the August 28, 2013
meeting. Motion carried.
Motion by Schneider, seconded by Schmidt to approve the agenda. Motion carried.
Staff Report
The committee reviewed the staff report from Public Work Director Kieffer regarding activities
related to the sewers since the last meeting.
Review October 2013 Test Results
Goodman summarized report on test results from October testing of the 201 system.No limits
were exceeded; levels have been coming down since the monitoring began. Pete Ganzel,
Washington County, has agreed to use the bent wells as piezometers.
2014 "201" Operatin� Budget
Handt explained the reduction in expenses from the last meeting was due to the assumption the
contract with Ecocheck would not be renewed at its expiration. With an addition to the staff, this
work will be brought in house. Kieffer provided additional quotes related to the control panel
upgrades. The original $45,000 included in the draft budget would not be sufficient to upgrade
the panels on Bliss 3 and 4,the pumps and a master station on the public works shop. Kieffer
proposed increasing the budget to $81,000 to get these completed in 2014. Then plan for
additional replacements in following years. Given that the 201 fund was projected to have a
balance around $170,000 by 12/31/l3,there was discussion about also doing similar
improvements on the Anderson/Erickson portion of the system. Motion by Ness, seconded by
Cartier to amend the 2014 budget to include Bliss 3 and 4, Anderson/Erickson, pumps, and
master station improvements at a cost not to exceed $120,000. Motion carried.
201 Capital Improvement Budget
Kieffer presented a draft capital improvement plan for the 201 system to begin the discussion
about long range planning. The A/E control panels and pumps would be moved to 2014 per the
previous action item. Schneider asked if the drainfield cost estimate included the land and
improvements. The proposed $200,000 is just improvements and does not account for land
costs. Schneider asked if the current dranfield location could be used with an alternative system.
Kieffer will check with the County on what they would likely permit.No other changes were
made to the draft presented.
2014 Uptown Draft Operating Budget
Handt explained the reduction in expenses from the last meeting was due to fewer of the
Treasurer's hours allocated to the system if quarterly billing was instituted and also the
assumption that the contract with Ecocheck would not be renewed similar to on the 201 system.
November 20, 2013
Page 2
Also, revenue projections had been changed due to a reduction in use from 2010. There were
questions on whether or not the reduction would allow capacity for new users. This will be
researched further by staff and brought back to the next meeting.
The Uptown System is projected to have a small fund balance by 12/31/13 mainly due to there
being less pumping required than budgeted for as result of the low usage. However, the pumping
costs remained the same for the 2014 budget because the amount of pumping needed could vary
depending on usage.
Expenditures exceed revenues in the draft 2014 budget. Since the variability in expenses
(mainly pumping) is related to usage, staff proposed an increase in the usage charge of 2%to
$15.28/1,000 gallons. While the projected fund balance could cover the losses for a couple
years,the committee discussed whether it was preferred to slowly increase rates to cover costs or
wait a couple years and have a larger increase. Schmidt said he preferred the gradual increase.
Motion by Cartier, seconded by Ness to recommend the volume charge be increased by 2%on
the Uptown System. Motion carried.
Uptown Capital Budget
Kieffer presented a draft capital improvement plan for the Uptown system to begin long range
planning. Given the 2012 Improvement Project,there were few items in the near future. The
blower replacement is scheduled for 2017 and pump replacements in 2022. The committee
discussed the drainfield replacement planned for 2027, which will be the largest expense for the
system.
Ordinance No. 148
Staff prepared Ordinance No. 148 which would amend Ordinance No. 134 Governing the
Uptown System. The amendment would allow for quarterly billing as opposed to the current
monthly billing. Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Cartier to recommend Ordinance No. 148 to
the City Council. Motion carried.
Ordinance No. 149
Staff prepared Ordinance No. 149 to amend the rates for 2014, setting a quarterly rate eyual to
three monthly base charges to coincide with the change to quarterly billing. It was also noted
that the Ordinance would need to be amended to include the new $15.28/1,000 gallons as
discussed previously. Motion by Ness, seconded by Cartier to recommend Ordinance No. 149
with the changes to the volume rate to the City Council. Motion carried.
Future Meeting Date/Agenda
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. The 201 upgrades,
Uptown flow/capacity issues, and drainfield replacement options will be on the agenda.
Motion by Schneider, seconded by Cartier to adjourn. Motion carried.

A meeting of the Scandia Wastewater Advisory Committee was held on the above date. The
meeting was called to order by Chair Chris Ness at 7:00 p.m. In attendance were: Doug Salmela,
Council member Jim Schneider, Daniel Cartier, Holly Kaufhold, Wayne Schmidt, Brad Bergo
Planning Commissioner Steven Philippi Staff Kristina Handt, Tim Keiffer, and Engineer Ryan
Goodman. Members absent were James Malmquist and Mike Peterson.
Motion by Cartier, seconded by Kaufhold to approve the minutes from the April 24, 2013
meeting. Motion carried.
Staff Report
The committee reviewed the staff report from Public Work Director Kieffer regarding activities
related to the sewers since the last meeting. There are two tanks left to pump in the 201 system,
staff will be raising access covers, tanks are being put into GIS system, new contractor used for
pumping tanks has led to cost reductions.
Review Julv 2013 Test Results
Goodman summarized report on test results from July testing of the 20l system.No limits were
exceeded. A-Deep and B-Deep wells were not sampled this time because of damaged casing and
pipe that was discovered when contractor tried to pull pumps in these wells that weren't working.
Kieffer will talk to Pete Ganzel at Washington County about the possibility of just capping these
wells since others wells are available down gradient for monitoring.
2014 "201" Draft Budget
Keiffer mentioned the control panels in Bliss are old, failing and it is getting difficult to find
replacement parts so he has been seeking quotes on upgrades. Dave Gardeen, Vice President,
Sales, TPC was present to cover over a proposal to upgrade control panels in both the 201 and
Uptown systems. The proposal includes upgrading all control panels and a number of options but
they could be implemented in stages. The base price for seven pumps would be about $119,000
with options the price would be around $160,000. Gardeen answered questions from the
committee regarding selected brands, pricing and other options. Ness asked Kieffer which parts
of the proposal are most needed. Kieffer suggests starting with Bliss 3 and 4 since they're
having the most trouble and then the Anderson-Erickson control panel. Cost to do these pumps
would be approximately $48,000. The question was asked if the individual tanks on properties
needed to be monitored and how they would work with the new control panels for the lift
stations. Kieffer doesn't' recommend updating control panels on the individual tanks because
they are much simpler and it would not be cost effective. It's more important to monitor what's
going into the drain field. Upgrading the control panels on the lift station will not cause a
problem for the individual tanks on properties because they don't' interact. Gardeen stated the
pricing would be good for one year and provided a list of references from Oakdale, Stillwater,
Cottage Grove and Hugo.
The committee reviewed the draft budget for 2014. No rate increase is proposed, staffing will be
charged to the fund rather than as a transfer to the general fund,the budget includes $45,000 for
control panel upgrades. Expenses exceed revenues which means fund balance will be needed.
The fund balance at the end of 2012 was approximately $165,000. Cartier asked about the
efficiency and economy of scale of doing a larger project versus the piecemeal approach. The
August 28, 2013
Page 2
committee will work on putting together a long range plan and capital improvement plan for the
201 system at future meetings.
2014 Uptown Draft Budget
The committee reviewed the draft budget for the Uptown System for 2014. Staff time will be
charged directly to the fund rather than as a transfer to the general fund. Treasurer time could be
reduced if billing was done yuarterly rather than monthly. Kaufhold and Schmidt were in
agreement that anything to bring down costs should be done. An ordinance update will be
brought to a future meeting to recommend the change to the City Council. Utility costs (Xcel)
are increasing as a result of the system upgrades completed in 2012 and the loan repayment is
included for 2014. So far no pumping has been required this year. Kieffer stated it is very
dependent upon the usage from the customers. The 2014 budget includes the same amount for
pumping in case it is needed next year. The draft budget includes a 5% increase in the usage
charge. The committee will review expenses again in November to see if the rate increase is still
necessary.
Committee Membership
Handt suggested the committee membership be reduced since there have been struggles to get a
quorum of inembers to meetings in the past. Also, 10 members on the Wastewater Advisory
Committee is double the membership of other committees and boards. Based on attendance
Handt recommended the following be appointed to staggered terms, thereafter the terms would
be five year. Initial appointments did not indicate term lengths.
Brad Bergo, Holly Kaufhold, Dan Cartier, Doug Salmela and Wayne Schmidt with Jim
Schneider as the non-voting Council Liaison. Ness pointed out that those appointments gave
Bliss and Uptown two representatives but A/E only one. After further discussion the committee
suggested a seven member committee comprised of two representatives from each system and
one voting Council member. Terms would be staggered so there would be overlap amongst the
two positions for each system. Terms would end February lst consistent with other committees.
Motion by Schneider, seconded by Kaufihold to recommend to the City Council a seven member
Wastewater Advisory Committee with staggered terms to be provided by Handt. Motion carried.
Future Meeting Date/A�enda
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m. The budget, test
results, flow data and long range planning will be on the agenda.
Motion by Schneider, seconded by Cartier to adjourn. Motion carried.

Re: 201 Operating Budget
Update from Last Meeting:
Revenue:
No changes. Proposing rates remain the same in 2014.
Expense:
Line item 386 has been reduced. The proposed budgeted number assumes the contract with
Ecocheck will not be renewed for the Anderson/Erickson system when it expires in mid-2014.
Public Works staff will complete monitoring tasks and other duties. This lowers the total
expenditures to $97,096.
Expenses do exceed budgeted revenues. The plan would be to make up the difference with fund
balance.Fund balance is approximately$159,000 currently,projected to be approximately$170,500
by 12/31/13 and $144, 200 by 12/31/l 4.

Re: Control Panel Upgrades 1� llr 111
Background: The committee heard from Telemetry and Process Controls, Inc. at the
August 28th meeting to upgrade the control panels. The committee
directed staff to obtain more quotes to ensure due diligence.
Proposal: Staff contacted four more vendors to solicit bids. Healy Ruff and Electric
Pump decided not to bid on the project. Electric Pump, however,
recommended the City own the software to the SCADA system. Connelly
Industrial and Automatic Systems both suggested radio reads. This would
require data from one lift station to be received through another lift
station. This would allow for real time analysis and no cellular fees.
Automatic Systems provided only a budgetary proposal for planning
purposes. Their proposal is vague and included cellular communication.
Their proposal did not address the replacement of the dosing and back
flow valves. Installation was included in the net price. TPC did not
provide quotes for replacing the valves either. Their proposal also
included cellular communication. Installation and start-up is an additional
fee. Connelly Industrial's proposal included valve replacement and radio
communication but did not include installation and wiring.
The pumps will also need to be replaced because they will use 3 phase
power instead of the existing single phase. This will cut down on energy
cost and extend the life of the pumps.
The Bliss Lift Stations 3 and 4 are in the most critical condition.
Currently,the dosing valves and back flow valves are not warking. The
control panel has obsolete parts that are becoming more difficult to obtain.
A master station would also be required to initiate the SCADA system.
Issue: Should upgrades to Bliss Lift Stations 3 and 4 with a new master station
occur in 2014?
Fiscal Impact: The 2014 operating budget has $45,000 for upgrades to the system.
Increasing the budget to $81,000 would bring the fund balance to
$108,200 at the end of 2014.
Options: 1) Increase the amount to $81,000 to replace Bliss Lift Stations 3 and 4
and install a master station.
2) Keep the amount at $45,000 and replace different equipment.
3) Do not upgrade any equipment.
Recommendation: Option 1

Re: 201 Capital lmprovement Program
Background: During the 2014 Budget discussion, the committee talked about repairs
and expansion of the City's wastewater systems. A Wastewater Capital
Improvement Program should be created to evaluate when upgrades,
replacements, and expansions will be needed and associate a cost with
them. A Wastewater Capital Improvement Program will help with long
term planning and budgeting.
The Anderson/Erickson System had an assessment done in 2012 to
evaluate the system's capacity. It was recommended that the dosing
valves, drain back valve, and control panel be replaced. Current estimates
for the recommended upgrades range from $18,100, for just the control
panel, to $33,150 for complete replacement. This does not include
$10,500 for two new pumps that would use 3 phase power or instillation
and wiring. Acquisition of additional land was contemplated, but at the
present time, the City does not own any land for the replacement of the
drainfield. Improvements to the drainfield may include similar
improvements made to the Uptown Drainfield. This would include a
10,000 gallon dosing tank,two pumps, and a pre-treatment unit. An
upgraded control panel would allow for easier integration with these new
improvements. Estimates in the report suggested improvements to the
drainfield would range from $200,000 to $400,000. The Uptown
improvements to the drainfield were around $150,000.
The Bliss System consists of four main lift stations, a sand filter, and the
drainfield. Improvements to Lift Station 1 would include upgrading the
panel. The estimated cost for improvements to Lift Station 1 range from
$18,000 to $27,500. Lift Station 2 would have similar upgrades to 1 but
the pumps would have to be replaced in order to run on 3 phase power.
Estimates are from $19,000 to $27,500 plus $10,500 for the pumps. Lift
Station 3 and 4, which dose the sand filter and drainfield, would require
replacing the control panel, pumps, and valves. Costs for the control
panel and valves range from $30,000 to $40,000 and does not include
installation or wiring. An additional $21,000 would be need for new
pumps. Land acquisition to replace the existing drainfield has not been
studied and costs are unknown.
Additionally, a master station at the Public Works Building would track
and store all the data. it would also alert city staff of problems. The
master station would cost about$20,000 for computer, software, and radio
equipment.
The pumps at Lift Station 1 have a life cycle of l 0 years. The pumps at
Stations 2, 3, 4, and Anderson/Erickson are 15 years. The control panels
have a 20 year life cycle. The life cycle of the sand filter and drainfields
are unknown.
The cost of an individual STEP system pump is $1,900 on the
Anderson/Erickson system and $665 on the Bliss system. The control
panels are relatively simple and do not require expensive repairs. Since
these costs are repairs and not upgrades, staff proposes that they are
included in the operating budget and not the capital improvement
program.
Proposal: The Wastewater Advisory Committee should determine what upgrades,
replacements, and expansions should be included in the 201 Capital
Improvement Program. Specific consideration for 2014 improvements
should be discussed.
Fiscal Impact: The 20l Enterprise Fund will need to save $437,000 over the next 20
years to be self-sufficient.

Re: Uptown Operating Budget
Update from Last Meeting:
Revenue:
Budget has been changed to reflect no increase in rates for 2014. Given than expenses are expected
to exceed revenues,the committee should discuss possibly raising rates.
Also, revenue estimates have been lowered for 2013 based on usage amounts read via water meters.
When the 2013 budget was prepared usage rates similar to those included in the Bolton and Menk
study from 2011 were used to make revenue projections. Total monthly usage on the system was
estimated at 57,285 gallons(based upon 2010 water use). Actually monthly use this year has ranged
from a low of 27,560 to a high of 39,740 and average of 34,448. Although usage is projected to be at
60%of 2010 levels,revenues are projected to come in at about 85%of budget. This is because most
of the revenue to the fund comes from the base fee which is not impacted by usage.
Expense:
Personnel Services have been reduced from the last draft to reflect the change to quarterly billing and
therefore less of the treasurer's time charged to the fund. Similar to the 201 system, line item 386 has
been reduced to reflect the assumption that the contract with Ecocheck will not be renewed when it
expires mid-year.
Expenses do exceed budgeted revenues. The fund is expected to have a balance of approximately
$3,600 by 12/31/13. If everything performed to budget the fund balance would be $2,350 by
12/31/14. So while fund balance may cover the operating loss for the next couple years, if expenses
continue to increase and revenues do not,the committee, council and users may be facing larger
increases in a couple years versus a gradual increase each year.

Re: Uptown Capital Improvement Program ��� ���
Background: During the 2014 Budget discussion,the committee talked about repairs
and expansion of the City's wastewater systems. A Wastewater Capital
Improvement Program should be created to evaluate when upgrades,
replacements, and expansion will be needed and associate a cost with
them. A Wastewater Capital Improvement Program will help with long
term planning and budgeting.
The Uptown System was upgraded in 2012 to treat the influent more
effectively. The main lift station was upgraded with bigger pumps and a
new wet well. The drainfield was equipped with a 10,000 gallon
equalizing tank, two pumps, control panel, and aerobic pre-treatment unit.
The equalizing tank captures the peak flows and time doses the flows to
the drainfield at a consistent rate. The pre-treatment unit adds air to feed
the bacteria to further treat the wastewater before it is discharged to the
drain�eld.
The City has purchased land to the West of the existing drainfield for
future replacement. The estimated cost for replacing the existing
drainfield, with no expansion, is roughly $90,000. To meet code, a mound
system would be required. Additional upgrades to the control panels
could allow for data collection and telemetry. Cost for upgrading the
panels is $15,000.
The life cycle on the four main pumps is 10 years. Each cost
approximately$1,100. The blower life cycle is 5 years at a cost of$500.
The control panels have a life cycle of 20 years. The life cycle of the
drainfield is unknown but expansion may be the deciding factor.
Proposal: The Wastewater Advisory Committee should determine what upgrades,
replacements, and expansion should be included in the Uptown Capital
Improvement Program.
Fiscal Impact: The Uptown Enterprise Fund will need to save $115,800 over the next 20
years to be self-sufficient.

Re: Ordinance Proposals
Background:
At the August meeting we discussed the possibility of moving to quarterly billing for the Uptown
system as opposed to the current monthly billing. In order to do so,the ordinance governing the
system would need to be updated as well as the ordinance that sets the rates.
Issue:
Should quarterly billing replace monthly billing on the Uptown system?Is a rate increase needed?
Proposal Details:
Included in your packet are two ordinance revisions. The proposed changes are reflected in red. The
first amends Ord.No. 134 that was adopted last year to establishing the rules governing the system.
Section 4 addresses billings and subsection b specifically states monthly billing. The proposed
language would allow quarterly billing. The bills would be mailed out by the fifth day of January,
April, July and October. Each billing would cover the previous three months. Selecting these months
makes it easier to keep each quarterly billing with the correct calendar year rather than having to
prorate a quarter and spilt between two fiscal years.
The second ordinance amends Ord.No. 137 adopted last December setting the rates. The rates
would not increase;the change from a monthly to a quarterly flat rate is reflected to be consistent
with the previous ardinance. If the committee decides a rate increase is needed, further amendments
would be needed to this ordinance.
Options:
1) Recommend one or both of the ordinances to the Council for adoption.
2) Amend one or both of the ordinances and then recommend approval to the Council.
3) Do not make any recommendation and stick with current billing cycle and rates.
Recommendation:
Option 1, unless a rate increase is proposed.
