-3- Mr. Childs indicated the City had contacted the Clark Oil Company to find out what their plans are for cleaning up the appearance of their • property at the intersection of Stinson Boulevard and 33rd Avenue N.E.

Examiner indicated should be points the Metropolitan Waste Management Board should consider before including the Roseville site in the final inventory of preferred area. The Mayor indicated he was also gratified to note the Examiner had indicated that a more substantial testing of the soil and aquifer suitability should take place during the permit- ting process since she had been unable to make a finding as to whether soil conditions on that particular site would offer any protection to the aquifer. In his May 20th memorandum, Mr. Childs had proposed applications be submitted for CDBG funding under the Federal Jobs Bill for two City • projects which -he believes,_wpuld give. a "real_ shot in the arm"__to_ __ the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project. Fie suggested making application .for $350 ,000 to cover land acquisition costs for the senior rental project to be developed under Section 202/8 funding proposed for Phase 2 and Mr. Childs believed from $250 , 000 to $300 ,000 should be sought jointly with Hennepin County for land acquisition costs for the construction of a new St. Anthony branch library in the same redevelopment area.

He was directed to make application for both projects . Mr. Hamer showed films of as much as could be televised of the City ' s 430 feet of sanitary sewer located in the area of 36th Avenue N.E . and Edward, indicating that in certain areas the clay tile had deteriorated- to the point where the passage of the camera could have caused the complete collapse of the whole system in that area . The Public Works Director indicated the Engineers had estimated it would cost the City $80 , 000 to tear up the concrete street and replace the clay tile with iron pipe , but Mr. Childs had suggested another method of dealing with the problem which would cost the City approxi- mately $15 ,000 . The Manager explained that under this new system, an inflatable resin lining is applied to the inside of the deteriorating sewer lines without tearing . up the streets at all . He said Maplewood had successfully preserved a portion of their sewer system in this - manner and Minneapolis plans a similar project this summer, which would make the equipment available to the City during this construction season a'nc'-_before the lines deteriorate to the point where they would 2 collapse ��l.:"-%-letely and make a costly replacement project necessary .
