Assistant City Administrator Elise Durbin said the grant is so that they can operate at full capacity, as it has only been operating at partial capacity. Mayor Hubbard noted in the MCSFS letter of support that the number of metric tons was discussed. Councilmember Hatfield stated she got confused whether that meant what MCSFC had been doing before, or if they were adding additional services.

Mayor Hubbard stated she knocked on doors in that neighborhood, and there were people who showed interest in the project back then, but they could have moved since then. Councilmember Sheveland asked how the channel would be filled up. Mr. Clark noted that previous designs have tried to mimic the same volume of water that can be stored and passed through underneath the channel with an underground pipe and filling it in over the top. The goal is to give residents a more usable property and manage the conveyance. [PAGE 3] MINUTES-CHASKA CITY COUNCIL March 30, 2026 PAGE 3 Councilmember Sheveland asked about excess snowfall and melts, and if the underground pipe could accommodate that much water, or if residents would have flooded yards.
