REGULAR WATER BOARD MEETING
Thursday, August 24, 2023
5:00 PM
City Hall 430 Third Street Farmington, MN
Members Present: Snobeck, Weierke
Members Absent: Cordes
Staff Present: John Powell, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Others Present: None
Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chair Weierke at 5:00 p.m.
1. Approve Minutes –
a. July 24, 2023 - Motion by Snobeck to approve minutes as presented. Seconded by
Weierke, Motion Carried.
2. New Business
a. Well 5 Retaining Wall - At the January, 2023 meeting, the Water Board directed staff to
consider additional options for the retaining wall repair. TKDA was retained to review
repair options and has submitted their report. Per the report “One option considered
and discounted was rebuilding the existing wall with similar materials. The disadvantage
of this option is that the failure will likely occur again. There is no evidence of drain tile
below the wall and the limestone backfill may be insufficient to handle additional
loading due to any potential water behind the wall.” The recommended option is
complete replacement of the retaining wall with Prefabricated Modular Block Wall
materials. Motion by Snobeck to receive the report and proceed with the design and
construction of a replacement Well 5 retaining wall using Prefabricated Modular Block
Wall materials as recommended. Seconded by Weierke, Motion Carried.
3. Approve Bills – Minor clarification was provided to the Board on budget charges. Motion by
Weierke to approve the bills as presented in the amount of $69,271.96. Seconded by Snobeck,
Motion Carried.
4. Open Forum – Project & Information Update
a. Water Efficiency Rebate Program – Only those residents approved since the last Water
Board meeting have been listed on the attachment. Resident interest in this program to
reduce water consumption remains strong.
b. Comprehensive Water System Planning – The process to complete the comprehensive
plan update continues and is on schedule. Late this fall, the water and sanitary sewer
system models will be updated based on the land use changes. This information will
then be used to review the need and timing of future improvements with the Water
Board.
c. Utility Rate Study – The Utility Rate Study presentation delivered to the City Council on
by Ehlers on July 17, 2023 was included in the Water Board packet. The presentation
materials were reviewed. Over the next ten years 1%-3% annual water rate increases
are expected; significant sanitary sewer rates increases are anticipated due to MCES
charge increases; and storm sewer rates will increase about 7.75% annually.
