up pet waste as an animal nuisance; and

quality; and
Whereas, the lack of pet waste disposal infrastructure can be a barrier to collecting pet waste when not
at home; and
Whereas, the Rice Creek Watershed District offers a Water Quality Cost Share program to
support measures that improve water quality; and
Whereas, the City applied to this program for funding for three pet waste stations to be located at
Commons Park and two pet waste stations to be located at Locke Park; and
Whereas, the Rice Creek Watershed District awarded the City $738.50 in grant funds representing
50% of the estimated project costs of $1,477.
Now therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, that City
of Fridley staff are directed to execute the Grant Agreement, and
Furthermore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, that upon
execution of the grant agreement that City of Fridley staff are authorized to implement this
program.
