180 July 31, 1973 Mr. Bohjanen stated that this special meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing the extension of mains and laterals within the Vi Ilage after the interceptor has been constructed. Mr. Bohjanen also reported that from all indications the Metro Sewer Board would go the route recommended by Mr. Carley and Mr. Gotwlad for a full gravity system and along the route they had suggested. Mr. Carley said that Mr. Bohjanen had made the position of the Village quite clear at the NSSSB meeting in Fridley. He felt that we must have this inter- ceptor and that the comprehensive plan submitted by the Village Engineers was the one that would serve best for this area. Mr. Carley explained that in order to get this project off the ground, the Village must order a feasibility study for the area to be added to the system and then hold public hearings in order for the people to be heard. At the present time Shenandoah is set to go, Country Lake wi 11 hook in and the area to be considered as recommended by the Engineers, is from the Westerly edge of the Village along County Road "J" to Highway #49, then North on Highway #49 to Birch Street, then along the Southeast edge of Baldwin Lake to the Westerly edge of the Village. Mr. Carley also felt that the PCA would order the Baldwin Lake Trai ler Court to hook into the interceptor.

Mr. Carley had hoped that the Council would order the report at this meeting. It will take a couple of weeks to get the report ready. The Council questioned the cost of such a study. Mr. Carley said the cost of the study works out to about 1.1% of the total cost of the project. This amount is payable as the project progresses and ultimately becomes part of the total Engineering fee. This fee is part of the overall cost and is figured into the total assessments. Mr. Carley said that Centervi I le had ordered their study and hope to set hearings for the first week in September. He would l i ke to present this as a joint effort between Centervi Ile and Lino Lakes. Mr. Carley felt this would make a greater impact on the Metro Sewer Board. Mr. Bohjanen said that this was the impression that he had gotten -that the Metro Sewer Board is looking for a joint effort on the part of the two Villages. Mr. Carley felt the best way to handle something like this was to have a joint Council meeting -For the purpose of duscussing this project and then each Council to pass a joint resolution for presentation to the Metro Sewer Board. This would be done after the hearings. Mr. Jaworski asked about servicing the area around Acton and the inter- section of the Freeway and County Road 14. Mr. Carley explained the plans of Centervi I le for construction in that direction and felt there could be some definite action in that area by Spring. There was discussion on the area indicated by the Engineers as to be the
