1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 10, 1991 <br />Mayor Bisel called a work session of the Lino Lakes City Council <br />to order at 5:30 P.M., Monday, June 10, 1991. Council Members <br />present: Neal, Reinert, Bohjanen, Kuether. Council Members <br />absent: none. City Engineer, Darrell Schneider; Administrator, <br />Randy Schumacher and Clerk- Treasurer Marilyn Anderson were also <br />present. <br />Presentation of the Completed City Water Study by Mr. Schneider. <br />Mr. Schneider handed a copy of the report to each Council member. <br />He noted that some financial information is still unavailable <br />because the 1990 audit has not been completed. Mr. Schneider <br />used the overhead projector and explained the report to the <br />Council. He noted that the area of concern for this study has <br />been limited to that part of the City defined by Sewer Districts <br />1 through 6, which includes all of the areas of Lino Lakes that <br />are within the MUSA boundary. The study is directed at providing <br />the water system facilities of trunk, source (wells), and storage <br />to serve this area. The facilities are planned to serve about <br />11,000 acres of which 2,000 are not buildable. It appears that <br />by the year 2000, there could be approximately 17,000 residential <br />units in this area. <br />Council Member Reinert expressed concern that all the information <br />gathered by Mr. Schneider and TKDA be available to the City in <br />the event that TKDA is no longer the City engineering consultant. <br />Mr. Schneider explained that all the information that he is <br />gathering will be turned over to the City at the end of the <br />study. It will be the responsibility of the City to update the <br />information on a regular basis. He noted that several employees <br />of the City are capable to doing this work. <br />Mr. Schneider proceeded through the Study. He explained how he <br />determined how many wells would be needed. He also explained <br />that the Council will have to make a decision regarding the size <br />of the water storage tank. It could be 750,000 gallons with two <br />(2) wells or 1,000,000 gallons with three (3) wells. He <br />explained the advantage of each tank. Mr. Schneider said he has <br />determined that the 1,000,000 storage tank would be the most <br />economical. He noted that when the area under study is <br />completely developed, three (3) storage tanks with 12 wells will <br />be needed. <br />Mr. Schneider discussed ground storage versus elevated storage. <br />He recommended placing storage tanks in wetland areas or other <br />Page 1 <br />193 <br />
