106 May 8, 1978 There was discussion on modifying the time limit. Mr. Zelinka felt the notification to the Police Department should remain in the ordinance but he could live with a modification of the time limit. Mr. McLean suggested using a 30 day limit that could be extended, and delete the work 'consent' and insert the word 'notify' the Police Department. Mr. McLean moved to approve the ordinance as re- written. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. Mr. Zelinka moved to close the hearing at 9:05 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion de- clared passed. The Public Hearing on the inspection of septic systems was opened at 9:05 P.M. This is a continuation of the hearing from the April 24, 1978 Council meeting. The discussion was why this ordinance is required and the methods of inspection, the im- plication this ordinance has on the use of the interceptor, the reasons for the requir- ing of a permit for pumping, and the necessity of this City to have such an ordinance on the books. Mr. Zelinka had to leave at 9:30 P.M. but said he would vote for the Ordinance as it now stands. The actions of the Forest Lake Township residents in presenting a petition to withdraw from the Metro area was discussed, with someone suggesting the leader of that action be contacted. There was a request to delay any action on this ordinance until the May 22, 1978 meeting. Mr. Schneider felt this ordinance could be passed at this time and if it was the desire of the residents of the City, the ordinance could always be recinded. Mr. McLean pointed out this ordinance ties into the Land Use Planning Act that was passed by the State Legislature. If the residents have a problem with the requirements of this act, then they should contact their representatives. Mr. Rehbein pointed out that it took Metro four years to approve the interceptor and he asked for a two week delay in the approving of this Ordinance. After some discussion on this matter, Mr. McLean moved to continue this hearing until May 22, 1978 at 8:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr, Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed.
