Cost per lot including the 30 lots would be $5100.) Roger Schouten: Has consideration been given to the installation of new water lines, There have been 5 water main breaks in the past 2 years. Swanson: 2'11.e possibility should be studied. Al Goongaware: What time frame is being proposed? Swanson: If everything were to proceed on scheduel work could begin this fall, with completion by the fall of 1979. Gongaware: Would price be guaranteed? Swanson: Once a project is bid the price remains firm. Gerald Kurtz: Explain the assessment procedures of anti charge vs, front foot charges. Swanson: Any assessment procedure can be adopted, the unit charge procedure was assessed in the Independence Beach area. Kurtz: Cannot streets be put in now and sewer at a later date? Swanson: Within 4 or 5 years the sewer will have to be put in. Crosby: If the city does not take care of the problem someone can come in and solve it for us. Also a critical factor is that the Long Lake line is not large enough. Calvin Headley: Could not the sewer line be installed in Medina Morninside and then the problem solved in Long Lake? Neddermeyer: We would need assurance that we can connect to sewer before bonding would b e secured. Sandra Berthene: What kind of road repairs art scheduled for the area in the immediate future. Bill Coleman: Are there plans for temporary repairs? Crosby: Before deciding on road repairs Council should know whether residents are for or against sewer in the area. Ted Lockwood: In 1973 a meeting of homeowners indicated all were in favor of sewers in the area, which were then promised for 1975. The area would have sewer today if Long Lake had not squelched the project at that time. Gongaware: Water should be included in the project also. Headley: We do not want sewer so badly that we will bail out Orono and Long Lake. Crosby: Letter from Orono indicates that they would like to work with Medina to solve the problem. Headley: Streets must be repaired now even if sewer is put in later Laurent: Have been holding off on repairing roads until a decision was made regarding sewers. Doug Sorenson: There is only one of the original the lines in working order. Linda Halliwell: How competant is the road crew? A friend ruined the transmission in her auto falling in a hole in the road. The city may be presented with the bill. Gongaware: It appears that the city does not have enough dollars to work with. Also what about property to the north. Could that be included in storm sewer project? Swanson: Would need to be studied as would the water situation. Robert Franklin: Perhaps someone should be attending the meeting of Metro Council Physicical Development Committee on Thursday as the Long Lake Interceptor will be discussed. Also it would be bene.ficial to include the Vo Tech property in the project as they pick up a large share of the costs as did the Hennepin County ark Reserve District when the park was sewered in connection with the Independence Beach project. They paid for 25% of the project. Richard Schieffer: Projects of this nature are usually started by petition of property owners, although a city council can make a decision to go ahead with a project without input of the residents. 72 Patricia Headley: We will be responsibile for circulating petitions and return before the July 5th meeting.
