He reported the Council could consider a longer agreement next year. 25 26 Noah Gavic, Paul Bunyan Sewer Plumbing and Drains representative, introduced himself to the 27 Council. He described the process that would be followed for I&I inspections and the work he 28 would provide to residents for points of sale.

Mr. Gavic explained he has worked with the cities of West St. Paul, Golden 37 Valley, and Eagan. 38 39 Council Member Meehlhause questioned if residents would be contacting the City first for I&I 40 inspections.
