villages met with the purpose of forming a district to find an outlet <br />for sewage disposal. There followed in 1959 discussions with Arden <br />Hills to try to hook up through the Twin City Arsenal, which ultimately <br />terminated in May of 1962 by letter from them advising that they could <br />take no action on it. In Feb. of 1960 our Village Engineer had been <br />negotiating with Minneapolis through the Arsenal system and there was <br />nc progress at that time with the City of Minneapolis. In the mean- <br />time, a loan was applied for and turned down. in July of 1960, the <br />Engineering Cornmitte of the N.S.S.S.D. submitted a plan for drainage--- <br />five different methods were proposed. The first one, that of Minneapolis <br />sewer collection, is the one now accepted. <br />Various petitions were filed with the Council during the course <br />of these years. Mr. Meyers pointed out that we have been faced with <br />this problem since 1958 and the hope that we could have it solved <br />within five years seems about to be realized. <br />The following points of progress were listed: <br />1. The contract has been submitted with N.S.S.S.D <br />2. Sewer district has the means <br />3. Contract for signing has been submitted. <br />4. Three hearings have been set for December 5, 12 and 19, <br />the lateral hearings to come later. <br />Mr. Hodges then introduced Mr. Les Knutsen, Engineer with <br />Comstock & Davis to give the technical background of this project. <br />Mr. Knutsen gave explanations of the various maps displayed, defining <br />the areas involved and showing how they were divided. <br />The water table and ground composition in the area were <br />illustrated by map and an explanation given of the problems involved <br />in c hanneling the water away since the water table is quite high. <br />--3-- <br />
