7. Austad Drainfield Plans <br />The City Engineer provided a utility plan for inground septic systems for the three <br />individual lots involved — Pierre, 5665 Hytrail Avenue; Austad, 5701 Hytrail Avenue and <br />Hurt, 5751 Hytrail Avenue. Mr. Austad presented a petition from the homeowners <br />involved looking for the City's support in an effort to resolve the issues at their <br />properties. Mr. Austad said he talked to surrounding neighbors informing them as to what <br />is being proposed. The City has allowed them to perk test an area on City property <br />behind their homes. <br />Mr. Austad said he counted about 15 trees that would have to go. The City Forrester will <br />look at the area, at the soils to determine what type of trees could be planted for <br />screening. <br />The City Engineer said there would be a pumping station which would have a manhole at <br />grade, but he would prefer not to have the manhole in the back and will look at other <br />areas. He said that the construction of the system would be privately and then turned <br />over to the City has not been discussed. Usual monthly fees contributed and cost of <br />installation will be paid for by the residents. There would be a wide enough path with a <br />firm base and grass for someone three times a week to check on the system. <br />The City Engineer explained the design has a backup. The portion of the sliding hill does <br />not have enough room to meet our requirements for two drainfields. Mr. Austad said the <br />three house system, drainfneld, tree removal would cost about $75,000. <br />The Council noted they were behind solving this problem in a unatrusive manner as <br />possible. <br />A specific proposal will be presented at the January 17a' Council meeting, <br />8. Bergmann Easement <br />The City Engineer said he is with the Bergmann's on easements. <br />9. Public Works — Gen Set (generator) <br />The new Public Works Facility will be used as an emergency center. Our Public Works <br />Supervisor has worked with the City of North St. Paul because they bought several Gen <br />Sets for one of their buildings that were too small. Mike Bouthilet said North St.Paul <br />offered it to us for half the price, $10,000. He said the self-contained unit automatically <br />comes on if we lose power at garage. He said they had planned for this and put money in <br />CIP for $7,000 in two years. The Public Works corrected that amount to $15,000 after the <br />meeting. <br />10. Animal Control <br />11.
