COUNCIL MEETING October 27, 1986 Mr. Becker asked if the homeowner will bear the additional cost due to the error of installing the services in the wrong area? Mr. Stahlberg said probably the homeowner. Mr. Becker asked. why the services were placed at the corner of the lot, it is not logical. Mr. Stahlberg was unable to determine the answer to this question. He had given the pro- per locations to MWCC and apparently they did not follow through with their contractor. Bob Doocy, 43 North Road - Mr. Doocy asked what recourse the homeowners have with MWCC. Mr. Hawkins indicated there may be cause for a class action suit against MWCC. Mr. Doocy asked if the City would stand be- hind the homeowners in this matter. Mayor Benson said the Council would do as much as possible. Mr. Al Ross commented that it was the City engineer's responsibility to see that the installation was in the proper location. Mr. Stahlberg explained this was not a City project so only the MWCC engineer was in- volved. Mr. Ross commented that whenever projects are under construction, the City engineer should be sure it meets City specifications. Ms. Clingingsmith asked if there was meeting called prior to the pipes being placed in the ground. Mayor 'Benson said yes. Ms. Clingingsmith asked why her house has to be hooked up and why does she have to pay when her house faces Lakeview Drive? Mr. Marier explained this should have been discussed at the previous meeting regarding this property. Mr. Becker said he felt it was the City's responsibility to get MWCC to correct their error not the homeowner's responsibility. Mr. Marier moved to get in writing why MWCC placed the services in the wrong area and what they plan to do to alleviate the extra costs to the homeowner. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Doocy asked if the residents have to hook up to the services im- mediately? Mr. Marier said the timing would be up to the homeowner.
