COUNCIL WORK SESSION MAY 29, 1990 Mayor Bisel called a work session of the Lino Lakes City Council to order at 6:08 P.M., Tuesday, May 29, 1990. Council Members present: Neal, Bohjanen, Reinert. Council Member Kuether arrived at 6:45 P.M. Council Members absent: none. City Engineer's, Dan Boxrud and Darrell Schneider; Public Works Director, Don Volk; City Administrator, Randy Schumacher and Clerk- Treasurer, Marilyn Anderson were also present. The purpose -of the work session was to consider a Utility Development Plan for the southeast portion of Lino Lakes and to consider a revised Improvement Policy. UTILITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR SOUTHEAST LINO LAKES (GRAVITY SEWER LINE) Mr. Schumacher explained that the development in the southeast portion of Lino Lakes is dependent upon the installation of a new gravity sewer trunk line that will connect to the Laurene Avenue lift station. The current force main is at capacity and the City is now restricting building permits on the force main. A preliminary plat has been received for the Montain property. It is planned that the beginning of the gravity trunk line will be on the Montain property starting at Birch Street. At this time a study has not been conducted so that plans and specifications for this trunk line can be prepared and the trunk line can be constructed as the plat is developed. The concern is should the Montain property be allowed to develop without the formal plans and specifications for the trunk line. Another question is at what level should the gravity line be constructed. Mr. Schneider used the overhead projector to show two different elevations for the trunk line. He noted that the deepest trunk line would eliminate the need for two lift stations presently owned and operated by the Metro Waste Commission (MWCC). Mr. Schneider indicated that a request should he submitted to MWCC for financial involvement in the construction of the deep gravity trunk since the trunk line would remove the expense of operating the two lift stations. Mr. Schneider explained that if MWCC refused to partictate in the construction of the new gravity trunk line, the this City should ask Metropolitan Council to participate. on a historical standpoint, Metro Council ham ity to Lii, _a17.
