41 November 28, 1977 The Clerk was asked to read a letter from Mr. Gotwald on the extension of the sewer sepv- ice on East Shadow Lake Drive to the 9 Tots just North of the existing service. The est- imated cost per lot is $3,108.00. This would include sewer, water, and street. Mr. Got- wald explained the method in which this could be done. Mr. Gotwald said the next move would be for the Council to approve the plan. He was asked if it would be necessary to obtain Metro approval for this and Mr. Gotwald said_Ahe did not think so, since the original plan had been approved by both Metro Council and Waste Control, however, he would contact Mr. Ray Payne for his opinion. Mr. McLean moved to accept Alternate A with IZ times construction costs to be placed in escrow. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. However, on discussion, it was felt that a dollar amount should be stated. Mr. Gotwald suggested the figure computed on the bids received be used as a base. Mr. McLean moved to delete "Ii times construction costs" in the above motion and insert "$3,100.00 plus 50% for a total of $4,650.00" as the amount to be required for escrow. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald presented the plans for sewering the Bladwin Lake Trailer Park. He reported the existing lines within the Park are acceptable. Mr. Gotwald outlined the problem of installing a line acorss private property to connect into the lift station. Mr. Gotwald felt that once this line is constructed, it should become a City line and the Council ag- reed. The cost of constructing a man hole to the depth required to reach the stub at the lift station was discussed. Mr. Howard felt the City should assume a portion of the costs since the depth required is double what is needed for his service. There will be more on this when Mr. Gotwald has cost figures. There was also the matter of SAC for the 68 units at that location. Mr. Howard had asked if the charges could be made in payments. The Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. Payne for an answer. Mr. McLean asked if there had been any pressure from PCA to connect this system to the interceptor and Mr. Gotwald said, No. Mr. Schneider requested that the minutes for the past year be checked and a list of unfin- ished business be made for the Council. Chief Myhre had done some checking of fire calls and had presented a report to the Council. There was discussion on this matter. Mr. Schneider felt there is a problem and this matter should be studied. He requested Chief Myhre to contact the Chief in Lexington and both be at the December 12, 1977 Council meeting. Chief Myhre suggested that a more complete record be kept by the Fire Department. He sugg- ested something on the order of the log sheets used by the Police Department. Mr. Karth asked about getting the Police Advisory Commission set up. Mayor Bohjanen remind- ed Mr. Karth that he had requested names from each Council member and had only received two names. Mr. Karth said he has some names for consideration and felt that there sould be a minimum of five person on that commission in order to present an objective view. Mr. Karth also felt this Commission should consider and make their recommendations for the Police Department before considering the matter of Fire coverage. Mr. McLean said this Council would need to set a charter for this Commission -1. just what does the Council want from them. Mr. Schneider felt some of the categories to be considered would be - does the City want a Police Department? is the oost too much? do we need 24 hour a day coverage? would 16
