CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 13, 1983 -13- 10. GARY FRENCH ^ ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL: --Fraser - feel alot controversial about supporting this. To listen to a brief presentation and then endorse it would ( be to take an inadequate look at the situation. If we were to endorse it we would want to have a much more extensive look.

ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. 201 Sewer Program - Engineer Bohrer reported that on July 6, 1 9187� this Council passed a resolution authorizing the application for grants for the design and construction of septic systems improvements identified in the Step 1 report.

The impact to Lake Elmo is that the City share .increases from an estimated $230 per improved system to about. $750 per improved system. Application for the grant funds does not obligate the City to proceed with the program. These new costs are preliminary, and the Engineer asked for time to evaluate the effects of ` the changes. He will. report back to the Council before the grant offer is received. Bob Callery of TKDA then explained the two resolutions which are required. The first designates the City Administrator as the 'authorized representative' of the City; and the second one states that the City will pay the local share of the project cost.
