SUBJECT: Lift Station Pump replacement at South Lift Station
Summary
The 2022 Long Term Plan for the sanitary sewer utilities includes equipment replacement at the
South Lift Station and allocated $350,000 for this work.
The entire project will include:
1)Replacement and relocation of the generator from inside the building to outside of the
building (on the south side, opposite of the homes) – already approved
2)Replacement of the #2 pump – this item
3)Construction of a new single bathroom partitioned off inside the building that will be
available to the public via a new exterior door (similar to the restrooms at Becker Park).
–future consideration
4)Replacement of existing building doors and windows – future consideration
5)Security improvements – future consideration
The south lift station has three pumps which pump sewage through a pipe uphill to a location
north of 36th. The number one and number three pumps were replaced in 2017 and 2021,
respectively.
Cost
Two quotes were obtained for the replacement of the number two pump:
• Electric Pump $96,980
• Starnet Technologies $101,830
Total approved costs for the south lift station project (including this pump replacement) would
be $180,295.
Attachment
•Electric Pump quote
Recommended Action
Motion approving replacement of the sanitary sewer lift station pump.

Home Improvement Grant Program
•Administered by Center for Energy
& Environment
•Current CEE contract through June
2023; EDA considers July 2023 -
June 2024 contract in 4Q 2022
•Program budget amended in 2020-
2021 to reflect increased demand
•Program guidelines changed at end
of 2021 to reduce expenditures and
bring in line with available revenues
•Program largely funded with
increment from housing TIF district
that expires at the end of 2025
•TIF fund balance available after
2025 sufficient to continue grant
program through 2028
Redevelopment -5240 Apts
•Project awarded tax credits and other
financing in January
•Developer submitting rezoning and
site/building plan application in April
•Developer submitting TIF application
concurrent with rezoning application
•Construction start in fall 2022 with
completion and occupancy in 2023
Other Redevelopment Opportunities
Developer Meetings
•Staff continues to meet with developers to
promote redevelopment opportunities
•Focus has been on the Town Center area
•Significant barrier to new development is lack
of vacant land –other cities have more, and
our only vacant site at 5240 West Broadway is
about to be developed (Sand Companies)
•The relatively low (10%) vacancy rate in
Crystal’s commercial buildings reduces owners’
incentive to sell for redevelopment
2022 activities
•Continue outreach to property owners and prepare potential development site fliers
•Follow up with developers from previous discussions and seek out additional developers
•Continue to push Hennepin County and seek other agency funding for transformative
realignment of Douglas Drive -West Broadway intersection
•Goal is to put another deal together for 2023 construction (5240 Apts expected to be
under construction in fall 2022)
•New in 2022
•Hennepin County awarded $30,000 to
the EDA for this program
•Available for older buildings on Bass
Lake Road, 42nd Ave. and Douglas Dr.
•Assistance is a no-interest, deferred,
forgivable loan for 50% of project cost
Minimum project size is $10,000 (which
would mean a $5,000 forgivable loan)
Maximum forgivable loan is $12,500
Loan balance reduced by 10% each year so
fully forgiven after 10 years
Payoff required if owner sells property;
funds re-used for additional projects
•Architectural design services provided
by EDA (max. $1,000 per business and
$3,000 per property)
Storefront / Façade
Enhancement Incentive
Beautification and Branding
Continued from 2021:
•Planter Boxes
30 boxes will be placed in
same areas as last year: Bass
Lake Road, 42nd Ave., Douglas
Dr. and 36th Ave.
•Litter Clean-Up (STS)
Sentenced to Service crew
picks up litter on commercial
segments of Bass Lake Road,
West Broadway, 42nd Ave,
Douglas Dr/36th Ave and
Bottineau Blvd
Increased frequency to further
improve litter control
(consecutive weeks after
snowmelt in April, then every
two weeks through October)
New in 2022: Median planting on 36th
Ave. west of Hwy 100 interchange
Center of concrete median to be cut out,
gravel base removed and soil added
Plantings will be deciduous trees, low
maintenance shrubs, grasses and ground cover
To minimize cost, no irrigation or power will be
installed (Parks crew will water for first 2-3
years until plants are well established)
Target date: Fall 2022 (depending on Parks
crew availability)
Additional Murals
•Identify preferred locations
(location, visibility, etc.)
•Would need buy-in from
property owners
•Seek private grants (typically
require funds to pass
through the city) -perhaps
“Cultivate Bottineau 2.0”
Beautification and Branding
“Town Center” Branding
•First used in 2021 marketing
materials for developers
•Will update & refine –can be
updated/changed
Small Business Promotion
•Small Business Saturday + promotion
throughout holiday season
•Use low cost approaches like
hashtagging (need to recruit local
businesses to build momentum)
•Do more each year (learn what works -
and what doesn’t - as we go)
Disposition of EDA Property -4824 56th
•Lot is 105’ wide and contains 0.45 acre
•Subdivision into two single family lots
would have been the best option
Not possible due to County prohibition on
cutting into Bass Lake Road to install additional
water & sewer services
•Next best option is to sell it for
construction of a two-family dwelling
•Wrapping up environmental study re:
adjacent leaksite at former gas station
•Anticipated next steps:
April-May:EDA authorizes Request for
Proposals for marketing lot to builders
May-June:EDA selects builder
July-August:Response Action Plan prepared
to satisfy requirements related to leaksite
(RAP simple enough to not need grant)
September-October: EDA holds public
hearing and approves final terms of
development agreement; lot sale closes
Construction could begin in 4Q 2022 or
builder may wait until 2023
Disposition of EDA Property -3401-3415 Douglas Dr
•Site contains 0.69 acre and is guided
medium density (up to 16 units)
•Environmental issues due to leaksite
More significant contamination than 4824 56th
•Best option is to sell it for construction
of a single building (apartment or
commercial, depending on market)
Townhomes or other multiple building
developments not feasible due to contamination;
grant funding will be needed for development
•Anticipated next steps:
April-May:EDA authorizes Request for
Proposals for marketing lot to builders
May-June:EDA selects builder
July-August:Response Action Plan prepared
to satisfy requirements related to leaksite
September-October: EDA holds public
hearing, approves final terms of
development agreement and authorizes
grant application for costs to implement RAP
Grant award,lot sale closing and
construction start in 2023
March 1, 2022 EDA Meeting
Staff will present the 2022 Work Program,
answer questions and request EDA board
approval.
