270 April 8, 1974 The Clerk reported that a Federal Revenue Sharing Check in the amount of $7,188.00 had been received; $70.12 for sale of tax forfeit land; $8,382.30 in back tax settlement. She had received a call about a security light on the corner of Birch and Hokah Dr. in the Shenandoah project that Mr. Rehbein is having disconnected. The Resident asked if this light could be taken over by the City and left. Mr. Jaworski moved to have the City assume the cost for this street light. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Jqworski handed a letter to Mr. Bohjanen from Mr. Kronholm. Mr. Bohj anen asked the Clerk to read the letter. Mr. Kronholm thanked the Mayor and Councilmen and all the individuals involved with assisting at the time of the kidnapping. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that at this time the problems of the roads in Shenandoah be taken up. He explained that before anything can be done<in that area, the City must have more information as to the status of the interceptor. At the present time, the Comprehensive Plan is being tied up by the Engineer with the Metro Council. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Gotwald if he had any more information. Mr. Gotwald said there is no change from the last month's report. The Metro Sewer Board is waiting for a report from the Metro Council Enginner. He had talked with the Sewer Board this day and he had been told that the report should be in some time this week. A lady from the audience asked what happened a year ago. This was supposed to be taken care of at that time. Mr. Gotwald said that the status of the Interceptor hasn't changed in the last year. The mains and laterals cannot be installed in the Shenandoah Project until the interceptor is installed. If not, there is a possibility of either one or the other being lower or higher and this would necessitate the use of a lift station. A gentleman from the audience asked what had to be done to bring the street up to City standards. He said that Glenn Rehbein had promised roads last September. The roads in the area are impassable. He said he was investigating the possibility of legal action to force the installation of the streets in the Shenandoah project. Mr. Bohjanen told the gentleman that the installation of the street surfaces depends on the installation of the interceptor. Mr. Gotwald repeated that Mr. Rehbein cannot complete the streets until the mains and laterals are in and they cannot be installed until the interceptor is engineered and the grade is set. The mains and laterals for that project have been designed and have been approved by the PCA, but have not been approved by the MSB of the Metro Council. Someone asked about the high water table in that area. Mr. Gotwald said there is a water problem only on some lots, the borings done in that area were favorable. Mr. Rehbein said the problem is that the water is being trapped. The thawing during the day and freezing at night is causing the problems. He cannot install a storm sewer because the mains must go below the storm sewer. 1 1
