191 October 14, 1980 Mr. Matzke of 482 Main Street, appeared to ask the Council for assistance in getting a water problem solved for him. Mr. Matzke said the basic problem is the County ditch that goes through that area is filled in and the water does not drain properly. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked if Mr. Matzke had contacted Mr. Paul Ruud, Engineer for Anoka County - this would be one way to perhaps get some work done on this ditch. Mr. Matzke said he had not. Mr. Kulaszewicz said he would contact Mr. Ruud and Mr. Robert Burman on this problem and report back to the Council. Bonnie 011ila and Wayne Bergman had requested to be on the agenda, but neither person was present. The next item to be considered was the setting of a Public Hearing for the use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. Mr. Jaworski moved to set the meeting for November 10, 1980 at 8:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The next item on the agenda was consideration of a request from North-Central Public Service to install gas line in Rohavic Oaks and Lakes Add. #2. On considering the Lakes Add. #2 request, Mayor Gourley asked about the easement that is not shown on the County maps. Mr. Meister indicated these lines are in and this drawing is for informational purposes. Mayor Gourley suggested this information should be sent to the County. The proposal for Rohavic Oaks is a new installation in the street right - of -way. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to approve the gas line installation on Rohavic Oaks. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The next item on the agenda was authorization for Anfinson Hendricksen to perform the 1980 audit. Mr. Schumacher felt that this firm had done a good job last year and he felt it would be costly to change auditors in that a new firm would have to learn the system. There is an estimated $500.00 increase. He would recommend this firm be ap- proved., Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to approve this authorization. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The resignation of Mrs. Susan Sears as a member of the Park Board. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept with regrets, the resignation. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Mayor Gourley amended the motion to include a letter of thanks be written to Mrs. Sears.. This was acceptable. Motion carried unanimously. The Engineers report wos considered. The first item was the status of the water system study. Mr. Meister presented two alternatives. 1) well in the Country Lakes Area and the tank in the Shenandoah area - cost $1,268,960.00 construction cost; 2) well between Country Lakes and Shenandoah 1,230,360.00. He said this is about as far as the Engineering can go until they are authorized to do a complete water study for the City. Mr. Meister presented a sample of another study for the Council to consider. The estimated cost of this study would be approximately $12,000.00. This study would in- clude the entire area of the City. Mayor Gourley said the major problem of this subject is the fact that in order to get this off the ground, is the expenditure of approximately $12,000.00. This City does not have funds to put into a plan of this size and then put on the shelf and not carry through with the constructuon. Mrs. Elsenpeter questioned the fact that perhaps Federal Funds may be available for this study. Mr. Schumacher felt this would be questionable, but he will check into this fact.
