The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Blesener, LaValle, Montour, Fahey, Anderson. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. TWIN LAKE The City Administrator reviewed his memo dated January 9, 2004 AREA relative to improvement options for the Twin Lake area. Fahey pointed IMPROVEMENT out that one option which was not presented is assessing the cost of water main and street improvements for the Twin Lake area even though the water main may not be looped right away. Fahey noted from the Administrator's report that it appears that the water quality issues have been resolved by Vadnais I-Ieights. The City Administrator indicated that there are other dead end water main lines in the City. While a dead end line is not optimal, they can be managed with more frequent flushing of the line by Public Works. The Administrator reported that the City of Vadnais Heights has indicated that it may be two to three years before they would be able to provide a loop for the Twin Lake water main. The Administrator reported that he did not include the option of assessing the improvement right away because it was his recollection that the City had indicated they would not proceed with the water main improvement until the line could be looped. Fahey stated that he recalled the discussion about the water quality issue. He also indicated that his concern would be related to the City's carrying the cost of this improvement until the water main is looped. Fahey suggested that given interest accruals, it may be better for the property owners to be assessed at the time of the improvement.
