Attorney Meyers' Report:
Attorney Meyers stated he had talked to Mr. Gydesen about the odors from
Anchor Inn, and he indicated he was making every effort to check out prices and
a solution to the problem. He stated he had check into Ordinances which may
cover odors coming out of a restaurant which are a normal part of business.
The Ordinances as stated are vague. It would be difficult to enforce by
criminal action. Mr. Gydesen said he had two other restaurants in residential
areas which have only 4 the exhaust system of this one and he doesn't seem to
have any problems there. He apologized through Mr. Meyers to whoever he talked
with that he cut off short. He acknowledged he may have been busy and short
at the time.
Attorney Meyers stated he had a long talk with Mr. Weaver about his water problem
on Louisa. The water is by the back window now and he was looking for something
physical to be done to aleviate the problem. He stated that perhaps if they
could not get anywhere with Harstad that with the upcoming bids for storm sewer,
etc. and equipment in the City, by some change order they could include some quick
drag line work there. However, this may take us into September or October before
it would be done. Mr. Harstad has given us a broad easement over everything for
certain drainage problems and he has signed an agreement whereby we can assess.
This is a possibility that may be considered if nothing else is done.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that earlier a report was made that Mr. Harstad
would have the problem taken care of by September 15th. How do we see that
this is done.
Attorney Meyers conaaented that if the City does it we would have to let it out
on bids and it may not be the cheapest way. Mr. Harstad would be better off
doing it himself.
Attorney Meyers reviewed the proposed contract where Metro Sewer District
would like the City to sign a contract to agree to pay them, over the next 15
years, $4636 at the rate of $511 per year for 15 years for certain deferred
charges that cameabout in 1971 & 1972. In 1971 there was a determination made
by the Metro that there were certain deferrments of payments allowed for reserve
capacity in Pigs Eye Plant. Twenty three communities had deferred payments of
which Mounds View is one. They are now collecting this money to be distributed
to the various communities by a formula which they have worked out. After all
comuuunities have signed their contracts or Metro has levied taxes, Mounds View
would receive $14,199.57 over 15 years plus interest. If we do not sign the
agreement they will go by the authority they have and levy laxes against us to
get the $4600.
MSP (Hodges- Johnson) To authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute the agreement
between the Metropolitan Sewer Board and the City of Mounds View contract # 275
which means we will pay $511 a year for the next 15 years and they do agree to
refund to us ultimately $14,000 plus interest accordingly over the next 15 years.
