On April 1st, flows peaked at 1.1 million gal/day and have been gradually decreasing (0.8 million gal/day on April 6th).

Explaining why the wastewater system was overloaded during the release.

Answered from our records

The plant's design flow is 357 thousand gallons per day, so the April 1 2023 peak of 1.1 million gallons per day was 3.1 times design capacity and the 0.8 million on April 6 was still 2.2 times design. The problem recurred and got worse: flows on June 2, 3 and 4 of 2024 were 1.3, 1.6 and 1.2 million gallons per day, the middle figure 4.5 times design, forcing one emergency release with the rest held in the storage ponds east of town.

Justification submitted for the requested garbage rate increase.

Answered from our records

The arithmetic holds throughout. At 42 tons a month, a $5 per ton landfill increase is $210 a month or $2,520 a year, and spreading $210 a month at $0.27 per resident implies about 778 accounts, which sits just above the 732 households and 753 housing units the Census records for Kenyon. Compounding 7 percent then 6.5 percent produces exactly the stated steps of $1.21 and $1.20 on the 65-gallon cart and $1.73 and $1.72 on the 95-gallon cart, and adding those totals of $2.41 and $3.45 plus the $0.27 tipping pass-through reaches the requested $19.99 and $28.50 within three cents. The BLS index values themselves cannot be checked from our data.

Administrator Vahlsing stated that he would contact other cities that use automated payroll software. He would also contact the companies that had submitted payroll proposals.

Follow-up on the three payroll processing quotes received.

What happened next

The vendors were contacted and all of them revised their numbers. The May 2023 packet carries four revised documents, an ADP proposal for the city, a separate ADP proposal for KMU, a Paychex proposal and a Paylocity proposal, and Vahlsing presented them as updated quotes and revised proposals. The council then tabled the decision so the incoming finance director could take part.

Review of payroll service quotes carried over from the March 28 work session.

What happened next

The item was formally tabled on May 9 2023 until the new finance director started so she could be involved, and Kelly Perry started on May 15 2023. The decision then moved to a second quote round in August 2023 with a staff recommendation for Paycom, which is where the paper trail on a selection stops.

RequestKyle Flom, Owner, Flom Disposalfrom the minutes
Flom has requested an increase to rates based on the CPI for the last two years and higher tipping fees at the Red Wing Land Fill.

The current solid waste hauling agreement expires June 30, 2023.

What happened next

The rate increase was granted. Attorney Riggs drafted a new three-year agreement carrying rates increased for the last two years of CPI plus the higher Red Wing landfill tipping fees, and the council approved it on June 13 2023 on a motion by Henke seconded by Bailey, carried 4-0-0. The cycle then repeated exactly: that agreement expired June 30 2026 and a new three-year agreement with increased rates was approved August 6 2026, motion by Bailey seconded by Gard, carried 4-0-0.

Current Flom Disposal agreement expires June 30, 2023.

What happened next

The council took the three-year extension and did not advertise for quotes, approving the attorney-drafted agreement 4-0-0 on June 13 2023 and making the same choice again on August 6 2026. Solid waste hauling appears nowhere among the 43 competitively quoted purchases we hold from 2019 to 2026, so the service has run on successive negotiated extensions with a single hauler for the whole period our record covers.

VIII.A Agenda Item Summary CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT DATE: April 11, 2023 SUBMITTED BY: Mark Vahlsing, Administration ITEM TYPE: Legal AGENDA SECTION: LEGAL SUBJECT: Jeff and Ann Traxler – Request for City to vacate alley/ROW SUGGESTED ACTION: Jeff and Ann Traxler are asking for the City to vacate a right-of-way area that abuts their property to the west.

They are also applying for a variance related to the proposed building project.

What happened next

The Traxler request took most of a year and changed shape twice. It began in April 2023 as a right-of-way vacation, was described in May 2023 as a land swap, was still waiting on the legal description from Rapp Surveying in July 2023, and closed with a public hearing opened at 7:07 p.m. and Resolution 2023-24 vacating the right of way adjacent to Huseth Street, adopted on a motion by Bailey seconded by Henke, carried 4-0-0. Ann Traxler's objection to the area being called a street was recorded and the resolution passed under that title unchanged.

XI.C Agenda Item Summary CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT DATE: April 11, 2023 SUBMITTED BY: Mark Vahlsing, Legal ITEM TYPE: New Business AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS SUBJECT: Request for Chickens within City Limits SUGGESTED ACTION: Joe and Briana Jensen have requested consideration for an ordinance to allow chickens in residentially zoned areas of the City.

If council is interested, staff and the attorney would draft an ordinance for council review.

What happened next

The chickens were refused. A draft ordinance was written for Section 900 of the city code and revised after the June 2023 council discussion, and an online survey on the city website returned 121 yes, 103 no and 17 unsure, so slightly over half of the 241 respondents supported it. The Planning Commission then came out against changing the ordinance, the police chief predicted non-compliance problems, a council member said he would not support it, Attorney Riggs noted the code had been amended in 1999 to bar chickens in residential areas, and no further action was taken.

A slim majority of survey respondents backed allowing chickens and the council declined to change the ordinance.

No MPCA notice, fine or compliance order appears in anything we hold. The last thing the record says is Public Works Director Ehrich's May 9 2023 report that further correspondence would likely arrive within 60 days, and nothing after that reports what came.

Unsourced claimCity Engineer (memo submitted by Mark Vahlsing)from the minutes
MnDOT assisted the City with traffic control on Monday while the repair was completed. In total, the volume of water released to the public water is estimated at approximately 1.1 million gallons.

Summary of the forcemain break and release into Pearl Creek.

Partly answered

We hold no plant flow log and no copy of the volume calculation reported to the state, so the 1.1 million gallon estimate cannot be verified. One feature of the memo deserves checking against those records: the release total and the April 1 peak daily flow are both given as about 1.1 million gallons, which would mean an entire day of peak flow reached the ditch and Pearl Creek. The MPCA was on site Monday to evaluate, and the DNR and the MnDOT Office of Environmental Stewardship were also notified.

The release total and the single-day peak flow are both stated as approximately 1.1 million gallons, which the memo does not reconcile.

Unsourced claimCity Engineer (memo submitted by Mark Vahlsing)from the minutes
This line is believed to have been installed in the late 40's, shortly after the city's wastewater plant was first built. We are currently unaware of other issues (past or present) with this pipe.

Explaining the likely cause of the pipe failure near bedrock.

Partly answered

No as-built drawing or original construction record for the forcemain appears in anything we hold, so the late 1940s date rests on the engineer's belief. If correct, the pipe was roughly 75 years old when it failed and predates most of what it serves, since the median Kenyon housing unit was built in 1962. The city's own later assessment for the 2025 project is consistent with an aging system, stating that many sanitary sewers throughout Kenyon are older clay pipes susceptible to groundwater infiltration.

The city had received 3 quotes for payroll processing.

Comparison of payroll vendor costs covering both the City and KMU.

At the meetingWritten quotes from all three vendors were attached to the packet.

Partly answered

Our bid record for the March 28 2023 payroll round lists a different set of three: Paychex at $7,655, ADP at $5,032, and Abdo at $20,820 a year plus $9,500 one time, with the award deferred. The figures named at the meeting match the second round of August 8 2023 instead, where Paychex came in at $6,540 plus $1,650 and Paylocity at $5,758 plus $1,000. The dated vendor proposals themselves would reconcile which numbers belong to which round.

The three quotes and dollar figures named at this meeting do not match the three our bid record holds for this date, and the Paychex one-time fee is recorded as $1,650 rather than $1,600.

Cause of the high flows that led to the release.

We hold no data

We hold no precipitation records for Kenyon or Goodhue County, so the 2.6 inches between March 31 and April 3 2023 cannot be checked. National Weather Service or Minnesota State Climatology Office daily totals for the nearest gauge would settle it.

ITEM TYPE: Engineering

Agenda Section: Engineering

SUBJECT: April 2, 2023 Sewer Main Break

SUGGESTED ACTION: Public Works Director Ehrich found a broken sewer main pipe in the south ditch of TH 60 which on Sunday April 2nd. Wastewater was draining into the TH 60 ditch which leads to Pearl Creek. He subsequently notified the State Duty officer. He then made adjustments to plant operations and located a contractor to repair the broken pipe on Monday. Further information is contained in the attached update below from the City Engineer.

03.1_Wastewater Release.pdf

April 2nd Wastewater Release Summary On Sunday April 2nd, Public Works discovered a broken forcemain pipe in the south ditch of TH 60 which was releasing untreated wastewater into the TH 60 ditch and Pearl Creek. As required, Public Works notified the State, adjusted plant operations, and found a contractor to repair the broken pipe by Monday morning. MnDOT assisted the City with traffic control on Monday while the repair was completed.

In total, the volume of water released to the public water is estimated at approximately 1.1 million gallons. Given the volume of this release, the MPCA was on site to evaluate the situation on Monday. Additional agencies, including the DNR and MnDOT Office of Environmental Stewardship, were also notified.

Why/How did this happen? To summarize, the release was the result of a broken forcemain pipe. The broken segment of pipe was found to be in close proximity to bedrock, which likely weakened and damaged the pipe wall over time. This line is believed to have been installed in the late 40's, shortly after the city's wastewater plant was first built. We are currently unaware of other issues (past or present) with this pipe.

This forcemain pipe is used to pump wastewater from the plant to the pond near the county shop. The ponds temporarily hold wastewater when flows are too high for the plant to handle. Rainfalls between March 31 st and April 3rd were about 2.6". Additional runoff from snow melt and generally wet soil conditions resulted in heavy clearwater flow from inflow and infiltration (I&I). Excessively high flows to the wastewater plant was the source of the flow volume which was released. On April 1st, flows peaked at 1.1 million gal/day and have been gradually decreasing (0.8 million gal/day on April 6th). Although the release issue is addressed, council should be aware that flows are still well above their preferred levels, meaning an excessive amount of I&I is still entering the system.

What's Next

As of the date of this letter, we are awaiting further correspondence from the MPCA. We are expecting some form of violation notice from the MPCA. This may consist of a fine, mandated further investigation, and/or requirements related to past/planned system maintenance and improvements related to the forcemain and system-wide I&I reduction.

For the time being, public works is actively managing high flows at the WW plant. Final costs associated with the release are not yet known. Additional remedial steps should be expected in the near future; however, it is too early to speculate the extent of that work.

46 5865 Kenyon Blvd * Faribault, MN 55021 507-334-5767 March 17th, 2023 Mark Vahlsing, Kenyon City Administrator RE: Request for rate increase I appreciate the opportunity to provide the City of Kenyon with our waste and recycling services. I believe our partnership has been beneficial for my business as well as the residents of Kenyon. We are in the second year of our five year extension and look forward to many more. This letter has two price adjustments, one due to City of Red Wing Solid Waste Campus (Goodhue County) disposal fee increase of $5/ton and a CPI adjustment. No CPI adjustment was done in 2021, therefore there is an adjustment for 2021 and 2022. CPI is determined by using the U.S Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics website: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/consumer-price-index-and-annual-percent-changes

ITEM TYPE: New Business

Agenda Section: New Business

SUBJECT: Resolution 2023-06 City Support for SF3087 Amendment for

Appropriation, Transportation Management Organization Development

SUGGESTED ACTION: The Southeast League of Municipalities (SEMLM) has been working

with area transportation providers including Hiawatha land transit to request State funding to assist with the development of a plan for a regional transit system (TMO) in SE MN. This would connect cities to one another for residents to get to higher education facilities, medical care, jobs, and any other activities that require use of transit. The study would gather input from cities, counties, employers, higher education, medical care providers, K-12 schools, current transit providers, and other interested entities. This study findings could create the framework for how our region might set up a Transit Management Organization (TMO). SEMLM is asking area city councils to pass a resolution of support for state funding for the study. The resolution and further information from SEMLM is attached below.

City Of Kenyon

COUNTY OF GOODHUE

STATE OF MINNESOTA

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF SF3087 AMENDMENT FOR "APPROPRIATION; TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT.

$350,000 in fiscal year 2024 is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of transportation for grants to the city of Chatfield to develop a transportation management organization in southeastern Minnesota. The commissioner must not retain any portion of this appropriation. Funds under this section are available for developing a comprehensive assessment and financial plan for a transportation management organization in the counties of Rice, Goodhue, Dodge, Steele, Wabasha, Olmsted, Winona, Freeborn, Mower, Fillmore, and Houston. From funds under this section, the study must assess how the transportation management organization can develop resources to meet the region's growing and changing transportation needs and prioritize transportation-related challenges that affect the region's workforce, access to health care and postsecondary education, and quality of life."

Whereas, southeast Minnesota lost key transit services in the region during the recent pandemic, and

Whereas, communities in southeast Minnesota are highly interconnected by jobs, higher education, medical services, and other activities that require travel, and

Whereas, communities in southeast Minnesota wish to build on and advance the region's current transit systems, services, and facilities, and

Whereas, communities have identified the need for southeast Minnesota to affirm the TMO approach meets regional needs and priorities, by including major employers, post- secondary commuter-based education, healthcare insurers and providers, elected officials, and transportation providers, and

Whereas, planning for a TMO requires a detailed financial plan for a three-year start-up implementation phase, including specific public and private funding sources,

Now, therefore be it resolved that the City of Kenyon supports the appropriation request stated above for the purpose of creating a study and plan of a Regional Transit Management Organization for southeastern Minnesota. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Kenyon on this 11th day of April, 2023.
