1 1 June 11, 1974 Mr. Bohjanen felt that before this recommendation could have been written that the Engineers of both communities should have been consulted. He wondered where the information this report was based on was obtained. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Burandt, if by whatever means, the City of Lino Lakes could finance an internal interceptor and the lateral system, and we requested permission to hook on to the interceptor, would this be allowed? Mr. Burandt said, Yes. Mr. Zelinka said that basically what this report is saying is that we can build our own system and the capacity is there but he will not recommend that we get any assistance. Mr. Bohjanen repeated his question as to where the information was obtained for the basis of this report. Mr. Burandt said he looked at the total overall North area. The Rum River interceptor or Brooklyn Park interceptor would serve Grow and Ramsey townships but there was nothing between there and the Forest Lake interceptor. He was merely trying to utilize the present lines to the best advantage and to plan so that another major interceptor would not have to be constructed in this area in the future. Mr. Bohjanen felt that since his report was already written when he consulted with Mr. Carley this report did not reflect the input of the City Engineers. Also, a gravity flow system is less costly to install and maintain that a force main. Mr. Carley design is almost entirely gravity flow. There was discussion as to the lift stations that would be necessary if Centerville is sewered through the Forest Lake interceptor. Mr. Burandt felt that this entire system would be gravity flow with a lift station to service the low area around the lake. Mr. Carley said the system designed to service Centerville through Lino Lakes is a full flow gravity system with a lift station being needed for about 15% of Centerville. This being area around Centerville and Peltier Lakes. Mr. Murray from Centerville felt that Centerville could not be sewered through the Forest Lake interceptor by gravity. He said that a gravity system cannot be built from Centerville to Hugo. Mr. Ray Payne of the Metro Sewer Board wanted to assure the Council that Lino Lakes and Centerville had not been left out of the North Area Study. The areas of study had been defined as planning problems. There had already been a feasibility study done for Lino Lakes and Centerville. He felt that this problem had been taken care of with this study. A gentleman from Centerville asked if the development in Centerville will have to be curtailed or if the building in Forest Lake would be cut back because of the inclusion of Centerville in this interceptor. Mr. Payne said, No, the capacity in this interceptor is adequate for both. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Burandt to read paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 on page 10 and explain what he meant.
