Mayor Gourley asked if there is a need to hold a hearing on this matter and Mr. Locher said since this is 100% petitioned, there is no need for a hearing. Mayor Gourley asked how the City could be sure this will be paid. Mr. Locher felt that the amount of construction costs as estimated by the Enigneer should be put in an escrow account before the project starts. Mr. Locher also has drawn up agreements for the property owners to sign. Mr. Meister presented two proposals for the installation of this sewer 1) along Highway #49 and 2) one along the rear lot lines of the affected properties. Mr. Meister presented cost figure estimates for both proposals. 1 There was discussion on the SAC, Shoreview's costs, the difference in the two proposals, the agreements that will need to be worked out, and the effect of this installation on a future City system in that area. Mayor Gourley said there are three things that must be done; 1) accept the report; 2) ask Mr. Schumacher to negotiate these costs with Shoreview; 3) arrange a meeting with the property owners. Meantime, the Council will have to decide which proposal to recommend for installation. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to accept the Engineer's feasibility report, direct the Administrator to contact Shoreview for negotiation of their costs, to include a joint powers agreement with Shoreview, and that a meeting with the property owners be arranged with teh Enigneer, with a meeting to be set with the Council at a later date. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. WELLS ON COMMON LOT LINES Mr. Schumacher reported that this request had been presented by a person who is constructing a duplex and wants to install one well on a common lot line with an escrow account to be set up for the repair and maintenance of the well. This had been put on the agenda for some sort of a temporary policy from the Council. Mr. Schumacher asked for the Engineer's and Attorney's opinion on this matter. Mr. Meister felt there would be problems with this type of setup. He flet that in the area of utilities, there should be separate services. Mr. Jaworski felt that with one well serving two units. if something happened to that well, both units would be without water. Mr. Locher felt this creates many problems and he would advise against this matter. The general consensus of the Council was this would not be allowed.
