,INFORMATIONAL MEMO FOR JULY 3,L984 MEETING PAGE TWO � x^ Unless I hear otherwise from the City Council, I will � forward these two suggested areas for improvements to the ` Lions Club.

Attached is some information regarding an pM@lL!Qign gf thq MMA0001itan Wagil" The evaluation has been requested by the Legislative Audit Commission but, in reality, is not a financial evaluation but a performance evaluation" The background information on the history of the Met Council is interesting and the Council may find this material very informative. 6^ About six weeks ago a representative from Pinky's Sewer Service, Mr. Tom Palecek, appeared before the Council to inform the City about what the MQEgpgligQ[l Wggto CgUtCgl CgMMQMig0 was proposing in terms of QgW [gggIgtig[lp @nd Eglag^ Mr, Palecek was basically correct in the information he presented to the Council" MWCC is proposing and studying different sites throughout the Metropolitan area as being designated drop off sites for the sludge that the sewer ~/ pumpers collect" Nothing at this point has been finalized. They expect a final report to be submitted to the MWCC Commission by the and of the summer. The staff at MWCC is sending me a draft proposal" When thds proposal is received in City Hall I will photo copy the pertinent sections for the City Council. As this plan must be approved by the MWCC Board it will logically receive a public hearing and cities and owners of sewer services will most likely be notified of the pending action by MWCC" Mr" Palecek was also correct in indicating that if this propoal is adopted it will definitely increase the rate the pumpers must charge the homwowners or businesses to pump their systems" The staff at MWCC believes that control is needed over the sewer pumpers to eliminate unlawful disposal of the sludge; and, control mechanisms generally cost money to be implemented" This increased cost will be the end result of any rules that are implemented. , 7^ Attached are two letters from residents in the Tri-Lakes area regarding wazer damag*�_to their homes" The letter from Manley Marcellu--'�s-to --~ the County Auditor requesting a reduction in his assessed valuation because of water damage" This request is to be evaluated by the County Assessor and if they have any recommendations these will he forwarded to the City Council for action if appropriate. ~ �
