February 9, 1977 A special meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 7:45 P.M., February 9, 1977, by Mayor Bohjanen. Council members present; Karth, McLean, Sch- neider, Zelinka. Absent; None. Mayor Bohjanen said the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the two proposed routes for the Centerville Sewer Interceptor and the effect'on the City of Lino Lakes. Mr. Ray Payne, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission representative introduced Mr. Kelly Brookman, District Representative and Mr. Bill Moeller, Waste Control Engineer. Mr. Marvin LaValle, Mayor of Hugo, was also present. Mr. Payne presented a map showing the two proposed routes for the Interceptor. The Northern route is along Main Street, the Southern route proposed goes along Cedar Street. Mr. Payne said this interceptor is a 10" force main and at the present time cannot be utilized by either Lino Lakes or Hugo. He felt the Southern route is more feas- ible in that Centerville has already installed the internal system along Main Street and it would necessitate the inconvenience of the residents of Centerville to re- excavate Main Street. However, Mr. Payne did say the costs are comparable for both routes. Mr. Payne said there would be more permanent easements needed along the Southern route while the Northern route would be mostly in the street right -of -ways and only temporary easements are necessary. The Northern route would empty into the Forest Lake Interceptor at a point where it would be necessary to re -pump the effluent while the Southern route would empty into the gravity portion of the interceptor and eliminate the necessity for re- pumping. Over the life of the sytem, the Southern route would be the least costly to operate. Mayor LaValle said the City of Hugo is opposed to the Southern route in that it goes through low lands and the City of Hugo could never utilize the interceptor. He said the City had had problems with the replacement of soil and sod during the construct- ion of the Forest Lake interceptor. Mr. Zelinka asked Mr. Payne if this interceptor was to be a force main the entire route on both lines and Mr. Payne said, Yes. Neither Lino Lakes nor Hugo will be allowed to utilize any portion of the system. Mr. McLean asked if the proposed industrial park would be able to hook into that system? Mr. Payne said the only way would be to go through the Centerville internal system. Mr. Karth asked about the life of that system and Mr. Payne said it is planned for a 25 year life span because of the use of a 10" pipe. Mr. LaValle said the area in Hugo was a swampy area and feltthe Waste Control Comm- ission would have construction problems. Mr. Payne said soil borings had been taken in the area and no problems were anticipated. Mr. LaValle said if the line is installed along the Northern route Hugo would have an opportunity of utilizing the line at some point in time, the Sourthern route gives no advantage for Hugo.
