The council requested that the issue be <br />discussed at the October 5, 2005 work session. <br />Background <br />City staff and Jon Christensen, Anoka County Environmental Health Specialist, have <br />been called out to the properties by both neighbors over the past year due to concerns <br />over the possible discharge of sewage effluent into the Chalupsky property. Several <br />attempts have been made to verify the claim. On June 30, 2005 an inspection of the <br />property was held. Present at the inspection were: <br />Ken and Debra Muehlstadt <br />Pam Nissen; Attorney representing the Muehstadt's <br />Jon Christenson; Anoka County Environmental Services <br />Pete Kluegel, City of Lino Lakes, Building Official <br />Julianne Markiewicz, Attorney representing Chalupsky <br />Larry Sibik; Pinnacle Engineering <br />Dan Tetrault; DLT Construction (licensed septic system designer) <br />Pinnacle Engineering was retained by the Muehstadt's Attorney to provide an expert <br />opinion regarding the civil dispute between the homeowners. The results of the testing <br />were set forth in the August 16, 2005 report by Pinnacle Engineering. The report <br />concluded that sewage was not being discharge from the Muehlstadt property onto the <br />Chalupsky property. A copy of facts and conclusions page of the report is attached. <br />Page 2 <br />
