Chief Renchin urged that Council reconsider, and had informed that an MD from St. Paul Ramsey Hospital would be willing to address Council on the matter. Council requested that the doctor be contacted and invited to attend the next meeting if possible. Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Chenoweth, that the meeting be extended. Motion carried unanimously. Council discussed with Engineer Schunicht his letter dated October 9, 1985 relating to the Tatum water line and the fact that if the line is not lowered in accordance with St. Paul Water Utility's guidelines it will be necessary to prepare a resolution amending the contract with St. Paul Water Utility.

Engineer Schunicht stated that even the Water Utility representatives felt the main would not freeze.
