Usage charge 12.00 to 15.00 per quarter Over a 20 year period the estimated total cost; including interest, would be app- roximately $5500.00. This computes to $269.00 per year or about $22.45 per month. Mr. Gotwald reminded the people this system is possible because of the installat- ion of the force main interceptor and that this internal system is necessary to connect to-this interceptor. The area had been presented to the Council on one petition and the entire area had to be considered. However, the area had been brmken down into two part; Section 1, from Birch Street to Linda; and Section 2, from Linda to County Road W. The Council has the option of ordering either section or both or none at all. Mr. Jensen of 6057 Hodgson Road asked if the signatures on the petition hied been confirmed and the Mayor answered said they had, by the Police Department. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Attorney and the Bonding Consultant if they had anything to add and they did not. Mr. Locher explained the Council is required by law to hold a public hearing in response to a petition. This explanation was in response to some residents in the audience who seem to feel the idea of sewers was generated by this Council. Mr. Jensen asked if the people from Linda Street to County Road 'J' was considered as part of the petition or just added on? Mr. Gotwald said since the petition came in on one sheet, the entire area had to be considered as one. Mr. Schneider asked if this area has to be considered as one or can it be split? Mr. McLean arrived. Mr. Gotwald said the area can be done in sections or all or none. 1 1 1
