AYE Minutes approved at the meeting of Ap riI 23, 1973. � ,{_.-/ Clerk- Treasurer A special meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council was called to order at 8:10 P.M. April 10, 1973 by Mayor Bohjanen. Councilmen present; Jaworski, Zelinka. Absent; Marier, Cardinal. Mr. Locher was present. Mr. Dougherty was unable to attend this meeting and Mr. Payne was here to answer questions. Mr. Payne is assistant Chief Engineer for the MSB. Mayor Walter Pracher and members of the Centervi I le Counci I were introduced to Mr. Payne. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Payne if he would explain the SAC. Mr. Payne apologized for Mr. Dougherty but explained that he had a conflict of meetings. Mr. Payne then went through some of the history of the MSB and explained how it all came about. He then discussed the Reserve Capacity charges and explained why these charges could not be met by the small un- developed communities. These charges were beyond their abi to pay, thus the current concept was formulated. This allows the charges to be paid in part by the current users. Ap ri I 10, 1973 At the present time all new buidling permits issued are required to pay $275.00 SAC whether they are able to hook -up to sewer or not. This is through out the 7 county area. This money is used to construct inter- ceptors and treatment plants. In 1974 these charges will be raised to $300.00, 1975- $325.00, and 1976- $350.00. The building erected prior to Jan. I, 1973 will pay Z of the $275.00, after then the full amount will be charged. Mr. Payne refered to the MSB report that all counci 'men had received. In this report the schedule is for the construction to start in 1974 and be completed in 1 year-. Mr. Zelinka said there is talk about the SAC in relation to the interceptor. Is this a one time charge and could present home owners pay now and avoid the raise. Mr. Payne said this is definatedly one time charge and that he had not been asked the question of present home owners paying in advance, but he would have to answer, No, he did not believe that this could be done. He felt that the only time a previously constructed building could pay was at the time of hook -up. He also said that the MSB ex- pects to receive at least 75% financing from the Federal Government. Mr. Payne answered that these charges pay for interceptor and the treatment facilities not charges to the currect users. The Vi I lage wi I I only be required to pay that part of the total system used by Village and the rest become part of sewage system #2 of which we become a part for- the portion not financed by the Federal Government. The funds required for maintenance and operation is put in the same pool as the currect use. Also the SAC for commercial hook -ups is the same as for residential. These SAC increases are only estimates. Mr. Zelinka asked if the MSB adopts a plan that we don't agree with do we as a Village have any recourse: Mr. Payne said, Yes, through our- comprehensive plan. He said that the plan recommended by the MSB was the one that was least costly to the MSB Lino Lakes and Centervi Ile. Mr. Carley said that he has the enti re compresh i ve p Ian almost completed. This plan would cover the entire ViIlage and not leave out portions such as the MSB's plan does. Mr. Payne said these plans are not absolute, that they are bendalbe and he was sure that something could be worked out in order to service areas not listed on the study. He suggested that our Engineers submit their plan in order for the MSB to consider it. Mr. Payne w i l l meet with Mr. Carley and discuss this overall plan . Mr. Locher brought up the subject of the contract and Mr. Payne said he had no authority to negotiate this contract. This will have 40 be done Mr. Dougherty.
