Staff said Lift Station No.13 sits in the southeast corner of the intersection of 20 Third Street NW and Third Avenue NW and was constructed after the 1997 flood as part of temporary housing development. Staff estimated the facility is about 26 years old and said piping and fittings in the wet well are deteriorating and in need of replacement.

\"This lift station is unique because it is in a resident's yard,\" Mr. Stordahl said, describing the site’s constraints. Staff proposed installing a flow meter and constructing an 8-by-8-foot electrical control building to house the station’s electrical components, which now sit in an exposed electrical box that experiences snow accumulation, shorts and corrosion.

Stordahl said if council moves forward, staff will contact the homeowner to discuss building placement and aesthetics; staff said they had considered options such as matching paint colors so the small structure would be less conspicuous. WSN provided an engineer's estimate for the rehabilitation; staff said they would return to a future council meeting to request formal authorization to proceed with plans and specifications.

No formal council action on the project was recorded during the work session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of East Grand Forks City Council 01 28 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public works staff described proposed rehabilitation for sanitary Lift Station No.13, including an installed flow meter and an 8x8 electrical control building; staff said they will contact the adjacent homeowner about placement and aesthetics and asked the council to authorize WSN to prepare plans and specifications at a future meeting.","taxTitle","East Grand Forks City, Polk County, Minnesota","taxId",71064,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6333869,"Staff recommends awarding 2025 sewer-cleaning contract to JohnsonJet Line for $103,952.92",187,119000,306000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2300603-00cf9f81e830eb731a2f8579b451fb31&start=119&end=306","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2300603-00cf9f81e830eb731a2f8579b451fb31/thumbnail_119000.jpg","/articles/6333869/East-Grand-Forks-City/Polk-County/Minnesota/Staff-recommends-awarding-2025-sewer-cleaning-contract-to-JohnsonJet-Line-for-10395292","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6333869-bebbc376ca8863ff5e01f9bb36dce196/orig.mp4?Expires=1775165880&Signature=GuAFaskhv43YSXtG3qbeNx1Bi31C3s4sZUrc-NMIreXCsF8W0R06o3K2dKmyiDK2J-q5eXm65KRIaDblgwkmMZlmCpcgNBgIkwZTPN2TUcGKV336Q7gosaljCH1wkylpS2-moLgdG8rKh3RnWrIzlJF8MQYQye26TywXdXwMyfhitFPB6y3LdCh-RDbvW9mKpFj0K6VoCehwANoyj66tcWJoo1-ObEpN6MG349HPtnB9m6jtzhMvsfwvLZJKt9rsNG6-WOvQ211oyi3j7ReSavwDWWf92SB4tOYxj6Scr9K~esMNQQwUWOkUKQX4rihMwA2TF1xf~rHIkXZEiMe7kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City public works staff recommended awarding the 2025 annual sewer-cleaning project to JohnsonJet Line for $103,952.92 and asked the council to reject an add-alternative televising option during the Jan. 28 East Grand Forks City Council work session.

Public works staff said the contract is part of a preventative maintenance program established in February 2011 that aims to clean one-fifth of the city each year; staff said the city often cleans about one-fourth because of recurring problem areas. Staff described two project areas for 2025: Project No. 1 (the main project) covering the south end of town west of Biglin Street, and Project No. 2 covering recurring trouble spots prone to roots and grease.

\"Dylan is our lead wastewater stormwater operator and his responsibilities are the storm sewer, system as well as the sanitary system and all the flood control portions of that system,\" said Mr. Stordahl, introducing Dylan Nelson. Nelson described Project No. 2 as \"a lot of re easement stuff. So that's trees, so we have roots that go with that.\" He said private-service roots can grow into the main line and that some mains that have liners require different equipment.

Staff told the council restaurants' grease and debris in the industrial park also contribute to repeat cleanings. Nelson said the city has televised most lines over the last five years and that televising this year will be project-specific. Staff recommended rejecting the add-alternative televising option at this time and awarding the cleaning contract to JohnsonJet Line for $103,952.92. Stordahl added that the sewer enterprise fund has sufficient funds to cover the cost.

Council member Dale Helms asked whether the city had worked with JohnsonJet Line before; Stordahl and Nelson said the contractor performs similar work for the city regularly. Staff said future actions under consideration include pipe replacement and relining for trouble areas and creating a grease program with inspection and enforcement components to reduce repeat costs.","Public works staff described the city's annual sewer-cleaning program, recommended awarding the 2025 contract to JohnsonJet Line for $103,952.92, and recommended rejecting an add-alternative televising option; staff said funds exist in the sewer enterprise fund.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6333874,"East Grand Forks council reviews Parks and Recreation Commission bylaw change to quarterly meetings",57,42000,99000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2300603-00cf9f81e830eb731a2f8579b451fb31&start=42&end=99","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2300603-00cf9f81e830eb731a2f8579b451fb31/thumbnail_42000.jpg","/articles/6333874/East-Grand-Forks-City/Polk-County/Minnesota/East-Grand-Forks-council-reviews-Parks-and-Recreation-Commission-bylaw-change-to-quarterly-meetings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6333874-27519c4c68128e260788a6f1fa02b0cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775165880&Signature=N1ib2rXkY3I9bePeqzZr~xZEA4TmosEYDcSR4TmtBPGrYB~b4mmEdJJZTWQW77sPpHQHIZUhkYwBfxtbwd-UDu6xCLq64IyLeOyO2QmkFbTWybrf5lxIOen8Tv9uO-EQ8bjhMIsDRv~VFz~0sSbRG0OElAYE8WCuVrW2wZGT2MgheZUojTEfboeCJOlXr5Ov4kaPoXtZqxcDpCeq8oTbQLB1MNuM8g~H2JIAd6-A-2i0J8VpOPaXUv3ay1ndXG6cSOdzO2WTQY8diEEHsX0I6M28IhJcMGPILyEm6423ItbMryRThKKSi7-u6gH05dzM03EnTSiQu6-3yIpknUII3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The East Grand Forks City Council heard a proposal to amend the Parks and Recreation Commission bylaws to change regular meetings from monthly to quarterly during a Jan. 28 work session.

City staff said the commission approved the bylaw update and recommended the council approve it to make the change official. Staff also told the council there would be no budget impact from the change.

\"Over the last, I suppose, 8 months, we've had the, talks along the with the Parks and Rec Commission about making an amendment to shift our meetings from a a once a month meeting to a quarterly meeting,\" said Mr. King, a staff member, describing the proposed change. He said the commission set designated months to align with the beginning and end of the city’s summer and winter activities so the schedule would better match seasonal programming.

Staff said the Parks and Recreation Commission has already approved the bylaw update and recommended the City Council approve the updated bylaws to make the change official. Council members asked no follow-up questions during the work session.

If the council approves the revision at a future meeting, the new schedule would take effect only after formal council action, staff said.","City staff presented a proposed bylaw update to move Parks and Recreation Commission regular meetings from monthly to quarterly; the commission has already approved the change and staff told council there is no budget impact.","actionData","errors"]
