2156 Frank Skogs Vuhat is the ~~0 assessment to the idaple Knoll Area? 1607 Maple Knoll Nilsen: Oversizing cost. At the time the connection was made in 1960 when there eras a problem in connection with the pressure. The cost to oversize the lines was deferred until actual connection of water is made to the house. Otto: In computing, was the x$60 subtracted from the total cost? Nilsen: No. This is in connection tivith the cost of the ~Yater Main that was laid on Larpenteur in 1960. The people along Larpenteur Avenue v~rere assessed on the basis of a 6" water main, but all the people west of Snelling Avenue have to absorb the additional cost. It was paid for by the Village but it was spread over all the properties - on the pnobabi- lity of all areas, the areas not ,yet developed. The X60 charge is being made as each home is hooked on to the system. That X60 was not computed, but is completely separate, Lindig: We pay for a pumping station now. Nilsens The listing on the real estate tax form is nomenclature. Galvin: In addition to the real property taxes, on the statement from the auditor's off ice, one of those assessments is called Larpenteur Avenue Waterl~ain and Pumping Station, bedause when originally proposed, it was proposed to put in a pumping station. However, in the course of thepro~ect, that was found to be impractical. The name of the improve- ment was not changed and. remained as above, and the bond issue was called that also. The name has never changed even though no pumping station was ever built. Nilsens We tried to get connection at Cleveland and Dudley, but St. Paul would not allow it then. Tyro series of bonds - Series A and Series B were contemplated. Series A were issued only - not Series B for the Pumping Station. Series A was for the Larpenteur Avenue tiYaterMain, and Series B would have been for the Pumping Station. We never borrowed any money for Series B. The original proposal was that the people only on the west side of Snelling should be assessed for that -that is the connection charge. Had the city of St. Paul gone a1 ong with some of our proposals, we would not have had these other problems. How is the water pressure? (Several answered 'very good.') We got a better price on sewer and water than we did a fevr years ago tikrhen sewer was„8.96 afoot and water north of Ruggles on Pascal Avenue and around there was $7.25 a foot in 1960. Al Struck There is a hole in front of my driveway still - in the street 1806 Tatum: It will be taken care of. Nilsen: Is there anyone else wishing to be heard? (There was none.)
