He then turned the floor over to Mr. Knutson, Village Engineer. <br />Mr. Knutson then explained that this project was initiated in 190 <br />by the Village Council in answer to petitions received and a hearing <br />was held to determine where the water lines would go. The contract was <br />awarded to Herbst Const. after due legal advertisement and the project <br />was completed this spring. The total cost of the job including all costs <br />such as engineer, legal fiscal, clerical, etc. amounted to $215,164.18. <br />The cost was then apportioned along those lots receiving benefits solely <br />on their front foot basis. This was done by dividing the total cost by <br />the front footage served. The front footage assessment then became $4.00 <br />per lineal foot. In addition to this a number of connections were made. <br />The total cost of these services resulted in a cost per service of <br />$106.50 and that is the basis for this hearing, to apprise you of what <br />these amounts are and how they were determined. <br />Mr. Knutson cited as an example the difference in the cost of water <br />between Nounds View and Blaine. Blaine water cost on a 75ft. lot is <br />$48200 while Mounds View lot on same size is $428.50 including the <br />service connection1 46,389.45 lineal ft., 286 services, and 278 assessable <br />services. <br />This concluded Mr. Knutson's explanation and the Mayor then asked <br />if there were any questions regarding what had been stated. <br />
