COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 23, 1990 Member Neal asked why the power lines could not go straight across Ash Street instead of running west along Ash Street and the south. Mr. Miller said everyone would have to agree to do this and this is why he would like to arrange a meeting so that everyone could get together at one time. Mr. Ostrom said the United Power is trying to put their best foot forward. The current sight is the best sight. He noted that to reroute the entire transmission line would create a whole new set of problems that United Power cannot defend. United Power is in a corner and realizes that we all have to talk. Mrs. Donlin said that the landowner to the south is willing to negotiate an easement for the transmission line. She felt the power company was "treading" on them because they could not afford to defend themselves. Mr. Jaye Caine explained that United Power and Anoka Electric are not out to try and get anybody. Anoka Electric Cooperative is a non - profit utility and must make service available to White Bear Township. Council Member Bohjanen moved to continue the public hearing to May 29, 1990.
