COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 1997 Resolution No. 97 - 09 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution 97 - 18, Ratify Wellhead Protection Joint Powers Agreement - Mr. Ahrens explained that on December 9, 1996, the Council authorized the City to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with ten other communities in Anoka County to jointly develop a Wellhead Protection Plan. The JPA is written such that the plan will be developed in two phases: Phase 1 to select a consultant to do the work, and Phase 2 to actually do the work. However, staff was recently informed that the State must do the actual work so staff recommends discontinuing with Phase 1 and move immediately into Phase 2 with the Minnesota Department of Health doing the work at no cost to the cities. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 18. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 18 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution 97 - 12, Accept Report for Marvy Street and Leonard Drive Utility Improvements - Mr. Ahrens noted at the January 13, 1997, Council meeting, the Council ordered preparation of a report for installing sanitary sewer and watermain in Marvy Street. He explained a property owner north of Marvy Street with frontage along Leonard Drive has requested that the improvement include their property at 7404 Sunset Road. Mr. Ahrens reviewed the location of the proposed utilities and advised that in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes 429 and the Lino Lakes City Charter, the feasibility report is to be received by the Council. He advised staff recommends the Council adopt the proposed resolution but not schedule the public hearing to allow time for staff to discuss the report with Council at the next worksession. Mayor Landers inquired regarding the location of 7404 Sunset Road. Mr. Ahrens identified the location on an overhead along with the location of the house and wetland area. Council Member Kuether asked whether it is feasible to consider extension of utilities into Patty Drive.
