Mounds View City Council June 13, 2022 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause inquired if this work could be completed prior to the work being <br />done on Spring Lake Road. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson indicated this <br />work would be done while the road was being reconstructed. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer asked if there would be other private improvements completed on Spring <br />Lake Road and why wouldn’t they qualify for City assistance. Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />Director Peterson commented he did not know of anyone else participating in private <br />improvements for sanitary sewer. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned if the City has had this same scenario in the past and asked if <br />funding was provided. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated the City has <br />gotten involved, but the City did not get involved in funding the project. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller inquired if there had been any other properties within the street projects that have <br />had joined sewer lines. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson recalled there has <br />been two other properties that had joined sewer lines. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked if this work could be funded by the City’s zero interest loan <br />program. City Administrator Zikmund stated this would be available to these residents. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller believed the right thing to do was have the sewer line separated and she did not <br />believe the residents pushed to have the lines joined when they moved into their homes. She <br />appreciated the fact the residents were willing to split the costs with the City. She indicated she <br />supported the City spending up to $7,500 in order to separate the sewer lines. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron agreed. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause concurred as well, but noted this could start a precedence for future <br />requests. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron supported the Council reviewing these requests on a case-by-case basis <br />and noted he was not concerned about a precedence being set. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked how this expense would be funded. Finance Director Beer <br />reported the expense would come from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned if the City would be opening itself up to a lawsuit from the <br />previous cases where sewer lines were joined and the City did not help. City Administrator <br />Zikmund stated this matter would have to be reviewed by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund reported he would speak with the City Attorney and would report <br />back to the Council at the June 27 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />2.
