Mr. Locher, Mr. Schumacher, Mr. Steve Mattson, Mr. Andrew Merry, Mr. Bob Frigaard and Mr. Bernie Mettelstead were also present. Mayor Gourley noted there is a limited agenda at this meeting, therefore, there will be no open mike. The topic for discussion at this meeting is the sale of the bonds. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. McLean about his question concerning the Public Hearing minutes - did he wat to purseu that at this meeting? Mr. McLean said he had received a copy of the minutes and his motion was substanially as was passed. Mayor Gourley asked if he wished to consider those minutes at this meeting and Mr. McLean asked that they be approved at a regular meeting. Mayor Gourley noted, that as had been discussed at the last Council meeting, there has been a change in the connection point and he requested the Eng- ineer to present his report to the Council. Mr. Mittelstead presented the two alternatives to connect to the interceptor; 1) to connect to the Circle Pines system; 2) to go directly to the main interceptor on North Road. The contract submitted to the City of Lino Lakes by the City of Circle Pines had been reviewed and the estimated costs are $82,000.00 The alternate route, going directly into Blaine, if the pipe can be installed within the shoulder - that estimated cost is $67,000.00 If it becomes necessary to install within the road bed, the estimated costs are $93,000.00. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked at what figure this cost was being computed? Mr. Mittelstead said 3460 feet x 11.00 per foot; the fittings - 1.00 per foot; the sod replacement $26,000.00 and if it is necessary to replace the street surfact, that is estimated at $52,000.00. Mr. Mittelstead said the average is approximately $80,000.00. These figures are within the 10% figure re- gardless of the route of the connection. Mr. Kulaszewicz - in talking with teh Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, they have indicated to Lino Lakes that the costs would be $50.00 per foot. Mr. Kulaszewicz said that in 1976 the ocst was estimated at $156,000.00 Mr. Kulaszewicz said the figures don't jive. Mr. Mittelstead pointed out that the figures he presented were based on bid prices that has just re- cently been taken. Mr. McLean questioned the total costs, it would appear to him the costs would be $120,000.00 Mr. Millelstead explained that both sod replacement and street replacement would not be included, it would be one or the other. The highest costs would be if it is necessary to put the force main in the roadbed. Mr. McLean asked if these costs are written down any place and Mittelstead said they just have their hand written estimates. Mr. McLean asked if there is a map showing this location ? Mr. Kulaszewicz asked if there was a feasibility study? Mr. Mittelstead said, No, a feasibility study had not been prepared for this connection. This is already included in the estimate prepared for the project. At the time the initial estimate was prepared, an outlet was considered and monies estimated for this cost.
