Adopt Resolution R2024-068. | | |

MN BWSR provides funding to the Twin Cities Metro area to supplement existing funding to accelerate clean water activities toward advancing Minnesota’s water resources goals through prioritized and targeted cost-effective actions with measurable water quality results.
The City of Shakopee is seeking funding to reduce chloride use through the creation of a weather station to assist with snow operations and to implement regional stormwater quality monitoring that will coincide with the Riverbank Stabilization Project. | | |

The grant requires a 10% match and will be provided through the Engineering Department’s Surface Water Fund. | | |
