Resolution authorizing the City Engineer to enter into an Agreement for reimbursement from MMSD to fund the disconnection of foundation drains and sanitary lateral rehabilitations on various properties throughout West Allis in an amount not to exceed $90,000
Body
WHEREAS, Wisconsin law, through Section 66.0301 Stats., authorizes any municipality to enter into an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with another municipality for the furnishing of services; and
WHEREAS, during wet weather events storm water enters private lateral sewers through defective pipes and leaky joints and connections ("infiltration”) and storm water also enters private lateral sewers from foundation drains, improper connections and other sources ("inflow"); infiltration and inflow increases the amount of wastewater that the District must collect and treat; and

WHEREAS, the City of West Allis has made funding available to property owners in the City of West Allis to assist in the reduction of inflow/infiltration into the sanitary sewer system from private property sources based on MMSD's funding proposal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Engineer is hereby authorized and directed to sign the funding agreement titled Private Property Infiltration and Inflow Reduction Agreement No. 8 with MMSD.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Engineer be and is hereby authorized to make such substantive changes, modifications, additions and deletions to and from the various provisions of the Agreement, as may be necessary and proper to correct inconsistencies, eliminate ambiguity and otherwise clarify and supplement said provisions to preserve and maintain the general intent thereof.
