MEMORANDUM DATE: March 28 , 19.84 TO: David Childs , City Manager FROM: Larry Hamer, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Summary of MWCC Costs Meeting --------- --------------------------------------------------------- The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission held an informational meeting March 21st in an attempt to clarify their cost distribution; community debits and credits ; and new construction. The manner in which these explanations was presented did little to clarify the concerns of those present. Copies of an MWCC report were available, however it was verbally noted at the meeting that several of the "key" pages of the report were missing. The report contained examples which illustrated communities which had been included into the MWCC system, had investments in the system and were receiving a credit until the debt is paid. • It was not too clear to me, but I believe St. Anthony is in, Service Area 1 (as 'is the City of Minneapolis) . We should definitely ascertain in what area St. Anthony is and what the deficit is for that area. The MWCC stated they have met with cities appearing to have large increases to explain the cause. However, as you know, they have never done so with St. Anthony . We should contact them to arrange such a meeting. The Metropolitan Council has stated areas in which new construction or interceptor lines will be built would be allowed input before the fact, rather than receiving the costs afterward. There were no questions after the presentation, which leads me to believe this was an unproductive session. I am very sure most attendees had concerns to express . RECOMMENDATIONS There are several unclear and confusing areas concerning the AWJCC. I recommend we arrange a meeting with them to clarify : 1. - In what service area the- Village is . 2. Each credit and deficit :pertinent to that area. : 3: - When the deficit will be completely paid. A . The position of St. Anthony . for future charges. •
