Absent: PROCEEDINGS OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL VILLAGE OF MOUNDS VIEW RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA June 25, 1968 A Special Meeting of the Mounds View Village Council was called to order by Mayor Rustad at 7:05 P.M. on Tuesday, June 25, 1968, at the Village Hall, 2401 Highway 10, St. Paul, Minnesota 55112 and adjourned immediately to the Civil Defense room at 2575 Bronson Drive. Reconvened at 7:10 P.M. Present: Mayor Rustad Councilman Malvin Councilman Lang Councilman Johnson Clerk Walser Also Present: Attorney Meyers Engineer Boehm Clerk Typist Sandgren Engineer Boehm presented the plans on the $1,300,000.00 Water Improvement project 1968 -3 and stated that we have a grant of $570,000.00. The project will include connecting dead ends, finishing construction of main feeder loops, supply storage, and treatment facilities. Six test wells will be constructed in hopes that four will be good. In addition we will be interconnected to New Brighton and Fridley for emergency use only. Estimated proposed assessments will be $5.50 per front foot for the benefited property. A resident asked about the cost of connection to a house. Engineer Boehm answered that the estimated assessment for water services from the water main to the property line is $130.00 per service. Bids on test wells will be let hopefully in 1 1/2 months. Actual work to be started in 1969. Assessment hearing would be in the fall of 1969. Mr. Minar's attorney questioned why assessments on both sides of County Road I instead of following the property lines. Engineer Boehm stated that the lateral was to be put in the street right -of -way instead of acquiring property. Can't tunnel under St. Paul water works. Mayor Rustad commented that a County Road is hard to get permission to cut through. Can't cut County Road (Silver Lake Road) for four years. A resident questioned if Fridley would have any use of water line. We want the connection with Fridley ,loop lines, in case of emergencies only. A resident questioned if property already assessed on lateral would have any additional assessments. If different property is being benefited it will be assessed again. Melvin Johnson questioned how he would be assessed (Highway #10 and Old #8). Reply was on width instead of length. Paul Gubrud of Ehlers Associates reported that water mains will cover about 20% of the cost of the project. Assessments can be paid over a 20 year period at 6% interest, or it can be paid in full the fall of 1969 when the assessment roll is prepared.
