CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AUGUST 3, 1982 WASTE/ENERGY - Continued - --Mottaz - Item 4 - Want to avoid having both the City and the Plant installing a water system. Propose either the Plant or the (- City put in a well and water tower large enough to service all of Section 32. This matter is moving very fast. Unless Lake Elmo makes these'decisions - and makes them right now - and passes the information along and becomes an active part of this process or many of the decisions will be made for us. --Bohrer - City should think strongly about purchasing contour maps for Section 32 in order to properly plan the systems lay outs :i(eg. streets, sewer, water, etc.) for the entire section. The plant will just be one user in the section of municipal facilities. The Council took no actionp butwillview the site and continue to consider all aspects of the project.

Plan would indicate the elevations and if these elevations had changed.
