Mayor Benson said the City would definitely not be interested in purchasing the property for the price required by the Water Department. C.

ENGINEERS REPORTS Mr. Davidson reported that a special meeting was held with the residents of Ash Street on Thursday, February 21, 1985 to discuss the joint powers agreement with Shoreview as it relates to sanitary water and sewer extensions from Shoreview. There were seven persons who did appear at this meeting. The consensus is that they are no longer interested in the project except Mr. McDonough. and Mrs. Delang. Mr. Crowley sent a note saying he definitely does not want sewer or water. Mr. Davidson recommended that the City follow through with the joint powers agreement with Shoreview so that the City could buy into their system in the future. Mr. Marier asked if he was going to include Baldwin Lake Road residents. Mr. Davidson said it was never intended to assess these people at this time. The intent was to advise them they are included in the service district. Mr. Marier said he was not aware of this and asked Mr. Davidson to explain his intent prior to the public hearings so when residents ask him questions he can give them the information they ask for. Mr. Marier said since this City has spent a considerable amount of money on this project already and in order to provide some security for future projects in this area he would move to author- ize the administrator, engineer and attorney to meet the obliga- tions of this City's needs with Shoreview to negotiate a joint powers agreement with Shoreview for Council approval. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Davidson what happens to Mr. McDonough and Mrs. Delang who want Shoreview water and sewer? Mr. Davidson explained if they were to get these services it would require that two other residents also participate. As it stands, it's a 50/50 situation and would require the Council to make a decision. However, if a third resident joins Mr. McDonough and Mrs. Delang, the fourth resident could be forced into the project.
