Mr. Fornell told the Council it now appears the Metro Waste Control Commission will require, as a condition for approval of the City 's sanitary sewer diversion into Minneapolis, the installation of a meter station which will raise the City's costs substantially since the station will require more grade to the line.

However, Mr. Fornell advised "there is no real cash balance in the Sewer Fund, so if you feel this project should be given high priority, expenses will probably have to be paid out of the Capital Improvements 10A Fund" . He also enumerated other sewer projects. he anticipates for the City in the next few years. Councilman Sundland said he sees the sewer diversion costs as a better option than shutoff valves for the residences for addressing the possibility of flooding in the City. Mayor Haik agreed, saying she believes the Council was given a mandate to correct flaws in the sanitary sewer. system by the committee of residents which was formed when heavy rains flooded portions .of the City several years ago. Councilman Ranallo suggested the diversion could be considered a capital improvement with. Fund 10A used to pay the costs.
