Land use plans is necessary for this. The population growth prediction for the year 2000 could possibly decrease thus lowering our cost. The comprehensive sewer plan and the land use plan must tie in together. Mr. Marier said that the Park Plan Host be taken care of first. The Fnviromental Commission and the Park Board must get together. There is a special meeting set for the 13th of September. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Marier and Mr. Gotwald if the comprehensive plan is not concerned more with the area around the lakes. Would the change of a few acres one way or the other make that much difference. Mr. Marier said you must have both plans. Mr. Gotwald said some of the work on the comprehensive sewer plan had been done. Some of this could be put on maps. The total cost estimate was from 44500.00 to $5000.00. This would be a complete study in book and map form necessary to tie into existing zoning and proposed land usage. It could be started now but would not be completed until the land usage map is completed. Mr. Gotwald said the work he has already completed would come to about '3500.00 and it would cost about $1500.00 to finish. A land use plan from the Planner would cost about the same amount. Glenn Rehbein thought that we should be moving on our plans. V e are in the same place we were last spring; he can't sell houses until he gets sewer in his project and would like to see some action taken instead of tabling these things from meeting to meeting. M�. Jaworski moved to authorize the Engineer to start the Comprehensive Sewer Plan' for the Village. seconded by Mr. Cardinal. There was discussion. 1Mr. Gotwald said this would indicate that we were making our own plans to the MSB at their meeting on the 14th. Mr. Marier thought we were doing things backwards and the delays were not due to lack of Council action. We can make a study and if it doesn't meet the MOB re- quirements then we have to do the study all over; s'e're spending too much money for nothing. Mr. 7elinka asked if the plan would have any influence on the MSB. Mr. Marier said No. Mr. Gotwald said sewer plans must be submitted by all communities. Mr. Zelinka asked if the comprehensive land use plan is being used as a delaying tatic. Mr. Gotwald said No, that the location of the interceptor would not change that much; that the main interceptor could be moved in either direction and that the exact location wouldn't be known until the land usage plan was completed. Glenn Rehbein asked when the Park Board could get started on this. Mr. Al Ross commented that he thought the Council was moving in the right direction on this and that any money we have spent on it so far was not wasted. Mr. Jaworski called for a vote on the Motion. Motion carried with Mr. Marier voting No. Mr. ?elinka reported on the Capitol Improvement meeting to be held on September 14th. He asked if it would benefit our Village if Mr. Locher were there. Mr. Zelinka moved to authorize the Engineer and the Attorney to attend this meeting in behalf of the Village. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried with Mr. Marier voting No. Glenn Rehbein asked of these two people two people would speak in favor of the sewer interceptor for our Village. Mr. Bohjanen asked for the Council's feeling on this. Mr. 7.elinka felt he needed to know more before he completely endorsed the plan but didn't think we should throw any road blocks in the way of the interceptor. The general feeling of the. Council was to listen then make a decision. Mr. Locher said that he was waiting for the study to be completed by a Mr. Carter. Also, if there is no joint interceptor, the MSB can run the interce ptor up to your boundaries and you must do the construction from that point. There was more discussion. The Council was told that this is just a hearing and there will be more meetings scheduled. Mr. 7elinka reported on the meeting with the Personnel Commission to draft a job description for the full -time man. Mr. Gotwald has the general outline for certifying public works people including the new regulations. He will mail this to us.
