COUNCIL MEETING MAY 22, 1995 nearby property owner and through discussions held between the property owner, the developer, and the City, a compromise was reached. This compromise calls for the jacking of about 220 feet of sanitary sewer instead of installing it via the open cut method. This will result in increased project costs to the developer and to a lesser extent the City, but will allow many of the larger trees to remain undisturbed. The contract is being modified to address the increased project costs. The change order also includes additional sewer quantities to, install a stub to the east of Fawn Lane which would provide access to sewer for a property owner who has indicated a desire to connect to City utilities. Mr. Powell recommended that the City Council approve change order No. 1. Council Member Elliott moved to approve change order No. 1. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Powell gave a progress report on this project. Consideration of Approval of the Metropolitan Council/Lino Lakes Conveyance Agreement - Mr. Powell explained that most of the issues related to this agreement have been outlined in the report to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Committee prepared by Metropolitan Council staff. A copy of this report was given to each Council Member in their packets. In summary, the agreement turns over to the City facilities which will no longer be useful to the Metropolitan Council system after the new Ware Road Lift Station has been constructed. This project is scheduled for completion in December, 1996. In order to accommodate the changes to the system proposed by Metropolitan Council, the City will need to modify the City sewer system. These modifications include retrofitting the Laurene Avenue lift station for smaller pumps; reversing the flow in the forcemain between Ware Road and Laurene Avenue; and terminating the maintenance agreement with the Metropolitan Council for the Black Duck Lift Station. The end result of all this activity will be the Metropolitan Council having a single point of service to this part of the City with a clear delineation between Regional and City facilities. Mr. Powell explained the agreement should be amended to reflect not only the forcemain alignment but also that the Laurene Lift Station Site, LP53 is to be conveyed back to the City. PAGE 25
