1/27/72 e question from the floor. Anthony Nathe, co -owner of the 49 Club, wished to have the Council send a letter to the Village of Shoreview asking that he be able to have sewer service from Shoreview. He stated that they were having many sewage problems and had to pump every week. He thought that Freeman's Bottle Shop, Hank's Superette and the neighboring house would hook up also if service were provided. Mr. Bohjanen asked about establishing the fee correctly,so that we wouldn't lose any of our portion. Mr. Locher stated that this would be done by contract between the two villages; he noted that we have no idea when either their or our sewer lines will be coming through and suggested that the Village Engineer take the matter for study. This would definitely need the approval of the Metro Council. 163 MJr. Nathe stated that he had been in contact with the Village Engineering firm for Shoreview, and they had told him to make this request to the Council. They expect to have their sewers in this spring or early summer. Mr. Marier comment- ed that the consulting engineers could only advise on this. Mr. Nathe noted that the Venetian Inn had hooked up to sewer across village lines in 1964. It was noted that this was before the existence of the Metro Sewer Board. Mx. Jaworski felt that if this request for sewer was made and approved that the Metro Sewer Board would require that the whole row of homes along County Road J be hooked up. There was more discussion. Mr. Bohjanen stated that we must make sure that we mention that the hookup charges and anything we have coming will give us the money to pay for the sewers and Lino would be taken care of. This would all have to be in the same contract. He felt the only thing to do is to refer this to the Engineer and have him carry it from there and give a report on what he can find and check the legais of it with the Metro Sewer Board. Mr. Marier noted that this would not be as easy as it sounds because of the controls the Metro Sewer Board has. Mr. Nathe noted that he has permission from his neighbor to extend his drain field on her property if necessary; he was willing to pay for the sewer rather than continue with his problems. Mr. Bohjanen noted that he had spoken to the Engineer on this, and that George had taken a look at the maps he had and found that 600 feet was the closest point to the Shoreview line which is quite a distance. Mr. Nathe stated that the cost of pumping so often was costly too, and that everytime it rains the cesspool is full. The Clerk was instructed to call the Engineer on this in the morning. The Clerk reported receipt of the following: the remaining homestead tax cre- dit for 1971 in the amount of $3,592.74; $107.50 in municipal court fines for December; a letter from the Assistant County Attorney stating that the deed for the portion of Baldwin Lake Road, which had been delivered to Mr. Locher on 11/23/71, divested Anoka County of any interest they might have in this road; the fourth quarter fire report from Centerville; a letter from the Metro Sewer Board advising of White Bear Township's comprehensive sewer plan. The Clerk was instructed to have the Engineer write to the Sewer Board of any interest or conflicts which this might make for Lino. The Clerk reported receiving a copy of a letter from Robert S. Herbst to the Police concerning sale of the metal building on the old Hansen gravel pit property; the building is to be removed. A letter from Phil Lewis of WCCO Radio advised that the site for the radio tower has not been completely abandoned and they are awaiting further advice from Federal Agencies and may still use the site for a tower. Mr. Marier commented that with the cancellation from the FCC on the tower it might be well to watch what the airport site is doing. There was discussion on recent developments on the airport question. A thank -you letter was received from the Anoka County Union & Shopper on having the plain
