Mr. Locher felt that there was a legal problem here of a private line running down a public road. Mr. Locher asked about use of Federal funds if we pur- chased the package deal from Jandric. No, since would only be buying laterals and funds are for mains and interceptors. The estimated cost of a small sewage plant to serve 300 families would be around $150,000. Double that cost for a force main to run down to County Road J. Mr. Gotwald felt that this franchise was good, since he has seen plenty which weren't- -some places charged as much as $15.00 per month for water. Mrs. Bohjanen asked whether the State could force us to put in sewers since we have so little bonded debt now. No. Mr. Gotwald felt that the new sewer bill would change the whole picture. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether a lift- station would handle 300 families. No, build piece -meal. Mr. Bohjanen then asked how much a lift station for the Lakeview area and for area from Highway 8 up to Main Street would cost. W. Gotwald estimated that it would be about $125,000 now, but labor costs are rising rapidly. Mrs. Bohjanen asked whether, if the Village had a municipal sewer system designed would Jandric's system flow into it by gravity. No, the lift- station would have to be retained. Mr. Bill Houle felt that we should stall Jandric or awhile and see what the sewer bill brings. Two members of the State Pollution Control Agency were in the audience. They offered a few comments on sewage in the area; felt that the interceptor would come through within 3 years. They had little to say on the franchise, stating that they would deal with them as they come up through regular channels. Mr. Gotwald commenttd, that since the Pollution Agency had turned down a request by Forest Lake, it would have no trouble turning down something unfavorable from Jandric. Mrs. Ahlmen asked why the State gets away with Pollution at the Youth Center. Mr. Gotwald proceeded to give a resume of his trip there and subsequent action, stating that a report would be available in a couple weeks. Mr. L'Allier reminded the Council that they had three choices to consider for Lakes Development C. 1) municipal sewer which was hardly feasible; 2) allow private wells and septic systems or 3) consider granting the franchises. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 11:03 p.m., seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
