44 J July 27, 1981 the costs if, the project should be dropped. Mr. Schumacher explained there would be extra costs if there were amendments or changes to the original feasibility report. Mr. McLean felt the Council should consider the present project within a certain period. If the project is approved then it goes forward but if it is rejected then the Council can look at a secondary alternative situation. Mrs. Elsenpeter suggested looking at alternative plans now and if the Council comes up with an alternate the the Council could approve or disapprove the alterant. She felt it would be less costly to find an alernate before asking for engineering studies. Mr. Kulaszewicz said he just wanted to set a date to vote on the present proposal. Mayor Gourley said he had some alternatives that he would like to look at. Mr. McLean asked if the Council could get a smaller version of the present plan from the engineers. Mayor Gourley said he would want to see a financial impact of the system by eliminating the area assessmen completely and see what effect that has on the financing of the prohect. A lso he would like to see some numbers on a project that would terminate at 77th Avenye and except that he would rather see the trunk line go through the Schilling property than up 4th Avenue. He felt that if you eliminate the area assessment except for those actually on the line, then the cost will be placed more on the benefited properties. Mr. Kulaszewicz said it would place more of the financial burden on the developers. Mr. McLean felt this was more where he was coming from There was discussion on a shorter sewer line. Mr. SChumacher asked what the Council's feeling were about the subject of the developers payment up front. This had been discussed at the last meeting. The Mayor felt this should be included in the financial study. Mr. McLean said this is one way of haing the benefitted parties carry the load. Mr. Jaworski felt if the developers made the committment to to pay 25% up front this would insure they would not leave the property sit undeveloped. Mr. McLean asked that the agenda for the next Council meeting be kept short and the alternative sewer suggestions be placed on the agenda early.
