Clerk Administrator Zylla stated that effective January 1, 1974 the sewer avail-
ability charge for existing buildings will go from $150.00 to $300.00. He added
that two persons had stated they are having difficulty arranging to have their sewer
connected before January 1, 1974, which is the Metropolitan Sewer Board's deadline.
Clerk Zylla said that a letter was sent to each homeowner not connected to sewer
on March 5, 1973 telling them that the charge would increase effective January 1,
1974. He suggested that since some persons may be having trouble arranging an
excavator that anyone wishing to connect after January 1, furnish us with a letter
from their contractor informing us that the work cannot be done before January 1,
that the connection fee be paid prior to January 1, that the person be given 60
to 90 days to make the connection after January 1, and that the person sign a
statement in which he agrees to indemnify the Village for the additional $150.00
if the Metro Sewer Board takes action to recover the same from the Village of
Mounds View.
MSP (Neisen - Pickar) To approve the recommendations of the Clerk granting an
extension from the Metro Sewer Board policy provided that the connection charge
is collected before December 15th, provided that connection be made no later than
February 28, 1974, and provided the owner agrees to indemnify the Village of
Mounds View if the Metro Sewer Board tries to collect the additional charge from
the Village.

MSP (Johnson - Pickar) To call a brief recess to the regular meeting at 9:25 P.M. 5 Ayes
Mayor Neisen called the regular meeting back to order at 9:40 P.M.
Mr. Bill Edes of Programmed Land requested approval of his preliminary plat. In
attendance with Mr. Edes was Walter Baker, his attorney and a court reporter.
Attorney Meyers reviewed Mounds View Municipal Code 42.07, Subdivision 2. He
noted that on November 20th, the Planning Commission, Recreation Commission, Village
Council and Rice Creek Watershed District met to formulate a policy relative to
the ordinance he outlined. The policy as developed stated that all plats are to
be referred to the Recreation Commission for their determination with Council
approval whether or not cash or land is wanted by the municipality.
MSP (Johnson - Baumgartner) Whereas there is no formal recommendation from the
Recreation Commission on the preliminary plat of Programmed Land 1st Addition
as to whether the Recreation Commission wants cash or land, that the matter be
referred to the Recreation Commission for their comment.
Mr. Walter Baker declared that there is no reference in the existing ordinance
to refer the matter to the Recreation Commission. Attorney Meyers commented that
at the last regular Council Meeting a joint meeting was proposed at which time
the formulation of a policy was discussed. Mr. Baker requested approval of the
preliminary plat at this time adding that he had been told by the staff that
the Council would not refer this plat to the Recreation Commission. He added that
to send the plat to the Recreation Commission was unreasonable and that the
ordinance was unconstitutional. The Council voted on the Motion on the Floor.
Attorney Meyers requested a copy of the transcript. Mr. Edes was informed that
the Park Commission would meet Thursday at 6:30 P.M. Mr. Edes wanted to know
how much money would be requested by the Council, and how the money could be paid.
