6. NEW BUSINESS: <br />7. MAINTENANCE/PARK/FIRE/BUILDING: <br />A. Update on Fire Dept. Activities: Chief Malmquist (Not in Attendance) <br />S. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: <br />A. Sewer Connection — 7550 57' Street N. (Conroy) <br />As directed by the Council, the City Engineer prepared an estimate of costs to construct <br />the connection of the Conroy property to the Oakdale wastewater system. The sum <br />appears to be nearly $16,000 plus the cost of any plumbing work required on -site for the <br />Conroys. Dillerud has conferred with the City's attorneys on the Met Council litigation. <br />They advise that the Record in that case is now closed, so this specific matter could not <br />be introduced as evidence of any type in the current case before the Court of Appeals. <br />Any future ramifications are less clear. <br />The Acting Administrator noted if this connection project is approved and the Joint <br />Powers Agreement accepted by Oakdale, the wastewater conveyance pipe recommended <br />by the City Engineer from the Conroy property line to the Oakdale connection point <br />should be a City asset and available to the other two adjacent residents that may have <br />similar poor soils. The pipe installation should be by and at the expense of the Sewer <br />Enterprise Fund, with reimbursement from Mr. Conroy and/or his neighbors that want to <br />participate. <br />Mayor Hunt indicated the City should advise the adjacent property owners, that may have <br />similar poor soils, of the potential Oakdale sewer connection project, total project cost, <br />and connection fee, and give them the option to hook up to the wastewater conveyance <br />pipe now. The staff should proceed ahead with the Joint powers agreement with <br />Oakdale. <br />Council member Dunn said this is a health, safety issue and we're correcting a failing <br />septic system. <br />M/S/P Johnston/DeLapp — to direct staff to proceed with contacting the adjacent property <br />owners of 7550 50`h Street, who may have similar poor soils, if they have an interest in <br />connecting to the Oakdale sewer connection project, calculate the total cost divide <br />amongst those participating and proceed ahead with a Joint Powers Agreement with <br />Oakdale. (Motion passed 5-0.) <br />Tom Prew pointed out there these connections will generate a sewer bill. <br />9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 <br />
