Rosengren had little to report on the roads, but noted that they should get the oiling program for 1971 ready in the next month so they could get estimate* made. Mr. Rosengren reported that the canopy had been completed in the garage. The concensus of the members was that this looked good.

Mr. L'Allier stated that questions on emergency snowplowing bad arisen; since we have nothing in the ordinances on what constitutes an emergency he wished to have W. Locher check this out. After discussion, W. L'Allier moved to have Ni. Locher check out the emergency snowplowing and draft an ordinance regarding same. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously.

Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously, *fir. Gotwald stated that he had talked to Mr. Jake Tundheim concerning the bridge on 80th: they will inspect it next week. ur. Gotwald had checked the truck specs. The power takeoff is'not usually included in the specs for a chassis And was not this time. Mr. RoRangren noted that we should have had this for the plow; however,it Is not serious since we can use the other one off the old truck. ?fir, rotweld produced letter from Metteot Building & Supply Co. in which they stated that they will Rdd four 4 -light fluorescent drop -in fixtures, like the ones in the hallway on R Separate switch. The candlepower had been in- sufficient from the present lighting in the chambers.' '''r. Cardinal moved to authorize the installation of the light§ As proposed and authorized the Clerk to sign the form. Seconded'by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald noted that in the original building specs an exhaust fan in the Council chambers hed been included. He had had a meeting with the T,ennox people on this; they use a pressurized ventilation system with which an exhaust fan would not be compatible. A °letter concerning this from T.ennox was rend, It was noted that when the fan was put on continuous operation, the smoke cleared out quite well. 'fir. Gotwald suggested that we wait and'see; he felt that the present system is preferable to a noisy exhaust fan; also it wouldn't work with the air - conditioning. The matter will be brought up in a month or so; the offer to install: the fan is good for one year. "r. Gotwald mentioned that another problem was the cold air return in the small offices; Mattson may'put louvered openings in the doors rather then cut the doors up higher. There is a leak around the fresh air intake which Mattson will take care of. Mr. Jaworski noted that a large chunk of ice was forming on the outside well at the junction of the overhang and the garage on the East Ride; Mr. Gotwald will check. Mr. Rosengren noted that the filter materiel for the furnaces comes in rolls; he felt we shouldorder Some since the filters should be changed now. After discussion, "r. Romengren moved to buy a'50' roll of filter materiel from Johnson 'plumbing end Heating. Seconded by °Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Gotwald discussed the letter which had come from the Metro Sewer'Boerd indicating that the Board would put in an interceptor rather than a treatment Plant for the Chomonix area. Mr. Gotwald pointed out in the third paragraph of the letter where they mention,thet it was at their request that we submit plans for the plant. Mr. Gotwald felt that the Sewer Board had waited to see what T.ino would do; when we went ahead with the plant plans they figured that an interceptor would be needed for Centerville in 2 or 3 years. Although there is a big difference in cost, they would not build a plant which would be discontinued ao noon. On page 2 of the letter, paragraph 1, they state that the plant will be started in 1971 And completed in 1972; therefore we would have no flow this year. However, Lonnie Dye of the.SB stated that considerable expense would be incurred,'elso if we had built the plant this year we would have had to pay for flowage. Paragraph 3 gives us a chance to contact them 2 *6 2/8/71 'further on this. Mr. Gotwald stated that Don Carley feels that if Lino pays this year then we would commit the Sewer Board to build the line thie year. Since we will be selling bonds for the lateral system later this year, we can add in this assessment; some will be charged to Jandric. *fir. Gotwald stated that the laterals will have to be redesigned ,since the interceptor is at a higher level than the original lift stations; he expected that there would be savings of $60,000 because of this. Mr. Bohjanen ixnuired whether this charge was on regional benefit or metro lines. Mr. Gotwald stated that they would be Metro lines, but have regional charges. He assumes that the charges are based on the region only; however, the Project is operated and financed by the Metro Council. Yr. Gotwald recommended that we meet with our Fiscal Agent and then with the Metro Sewer Board. There was discussion on whet the $25,000 charge was based on. Mr. L'Allier felt that if they can't guarantee any flow in '71, then they should't expect us to pay in '71. Air. Gotwald felt that if the original 'aesessment had been based on flowage from the Youth Center and Jandric, then there should be a lesser charge. *r. Gotwald felt that it was a real break for T.ino to serve the South part of the Village without direct assessments. *"r. Gotwald noted that it was not possible for the Village to finance the interceptor themselves at this time; the interceptor Alone would be $1 million. He noted that the priority for this project had come 4 or 5 years sooner than expected at the Metro Sewer Board. ° Mr. Gotwald stated that if they put the line in es far as the Chamonix Project by next year, theh they will put in the rest of the interceptor for Lino and to Centerville. The Sewer Board is not committed yet, but Air. Gotwald should know definitely by the next Council meeting. There was some discussion. Mr. Cotwald stated that the Centerville line should be able to service an area 1 mile north of Centerville, nearly to the Northeast corner of Lino. They have not done a detailed study in that section yet, but he felt that it would take a collector system which would probably be a Uetro Line. This line would also handle the area east of the freeway. None of "Lino is included in the Forest Lake line. However, if development should occur, sewage could be temporarily pumped into the Forest Lake line. The new interceptor is designed to handle all of Lino. The outlet on North Road could take care of some of the Lakeview area. There was further discussion. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Locher to meet with the Fiscal Agent to discuss the interceptor and financing of same. Seconded by Mr. Fosengred. Carried unanimously. !r. L'Allier felt that the Sewer Board's letter should be answered, pointing out the error and that there would be no flowage; Also, regarding their letter of March 1970, noting their reference to the plant, that they were aware of'what we were doing. This is not a direct refusal of payment, but we would like to set up a meeting with than after we have met with our Fiscal Agent. Mr. Bohjanen moved to send such a letter to the Sewer Board. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. *'r. Gotwald felt that payment could be made by the latter part of the year. 1 2/8/71 mi. GotwPld mentioned that the PCA had set new standards for treatment plants which are much stricter than the Minn. Health Dept.'s. After investigation of the plant 'At the Treatment Center some (A4000 had been allocated for change of its facilities Gotwald stated that a Metro line to the Center may be extended. He will keep us informed of progress. mi. Gotwald stated that the metro engineering staff bad rejected the Chamonix plant as had the Sewer Bo'rd.` However, it has to go before the Metro Council. Mr. Gotwald noted that the Sewer Board will have little work to do on the cost estimate for the interceptor since we already had it done. be It is possible that Carley may be Selected to /the engineering firm on the interceptor, If so, then the costs for the study will be absorbed. mr. Locher reported that the oigerette license application was in order as was the Skelly sigh request. ter. Jaworski moved to issue the sign permit No. 53 for the 40 -foot sign to likely Oil. Seconded by mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. This sign will be considered to be a freeway sign and so placed on the map. *fir. Locher had received the deed from "r.
