i6 APRIL 14, 1975 Mr. Jaworski asked Mr. Gotwald to report on the problem on East Shadow Lake Drive. Mr. Gotwald said the cave -in of the curbing is due to under- mining in that area. Either some drain tiles were laid under the curbs and they have separated or there is drain tile around the foundations of the home in that area and this is causing the trouble. It will be more apparent when some excavating is done in the area. The street surface seems to be unaffected. Mr. Gotwald suggested that the drain tile be plugged and bitimous curbing be installed for a few years to allow this area to settle. Mr. Volk reported that Oak Lane is breaking up as is Second Avenue. It was suggested that hot mix be obtained to patch these streets as soon as possible. Mr. Jaworski reported that he had attended the meeting in Inver Grove Heights on Saturday afternoon. He gave the Council copies of an open letter that is to be signed and forwarded to Gov. Anderson. Mr. Jaworski felt that the communities south of the Cities are much more orinanized than the North Communities. He also found that all communities are having the same problems with the Metropolitan Council as Lino Lakes, but since most of the publicity on these problems is limited to local press, the other communities are unaware of these problems. There was good attendance at the meeting and the people were very enthusiastic.

She was instructed to write Mr. Franchette informing him that at the present time there is no legal action and the Resolution was merely instructing the Attorney to start proceedings and study the feasibility of such action. Mr. Marier reported on the meeting to discuss the Centerville sewer. This will sewer Centerville through the Forest Lake interceptor. There was discussion of the size of the lines and the fact that it will only be brought to the East boundary of Centerville. They plan to take this to a referendum to the peopole since Centerville will have to install the laterals. It will also be necessary to redesign the local plans to fit in with this concept Mr. Gotwald said the hearingswill have to be held by Centerville and that the cost of these lines will have to be borne by the people of Centerville. Mr. Marier felt that Lino Lakes must get Metropolitan Council to set a time limit on how long they expect Lino Lakes to continue to pump and haul sewage. Mr. Gotwald felt that this plan to sewer Centerville to the East is strictly according to the Development Freamework Guide Plan. There was discussion on the fact that without the staff personnel the Metro Council could not operate and most of the staff people do not know the past history of these problems, so the Council makes the easiest decision. Mr. Gotwald felt since this decision on Centerville has been made, there is
