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