He had circulated this petition since the last meeting. Mr. Weiner read the names on the petition. Mr. Zelinka felt this petition should be dealt with the same as the other petition. Mr. Jerry Truman, 6910 Hodgson Road, felt the residentt of the portion designated as Section 2 is 100% against the installation of the sewer. On a show of hands, approximately 75% 75% of the people present were opposed to the sewers. Mr. Jensen asked for a vote of the Council. Mayor Bohjanen repeated the reason for this hearing is it is required by law and was not instigated by this Council but by the residents of that area. Mr. Baker asked for a vote of the Council. Mr. Zelinka disagreed. He felt since the first petition had been investigated, the second petition presented at this meeting should be handled in the same manner. Mr. Weiner asked if the people will be notified when the decision will be made if it is not made at this meeting and Mr. Locher said, if a decision is not made at this meeting, and it is continued, the date and time must be set at this meet- ing.

He asked, if this pet- ition is denied, can the people who do want sewers be considered? Mr. Gotwald felt they could be on a smaller scale. Mr. Weiner felt that no one wanted this system.

Mr. Schneider asked if this petition is denied and a smaller portion is considered, what would the cost be? Mr. Gotwald said there would have to be a new cost esti- mate, would have to re- advertise, mail notices and call a public hearing.
