185 Mr. Carley gave three formulas for assessment: 100% assessment for all interceptors; some assessed for the main in an area plus assessment for those abutting a lateral and the rest on general taxes; or with 30% in Federal grants, the balance assessed to area served (as above). He suggested placing some of the assessment on general taxes and putting the payment on a 30 year bond with the larger payments at the end of that time so that a larger population would keep the individual cost down. He suggested a low mill rate of perhaps 10 mills. The Village actually has to pay for the line first since no money comes from the taxpayers until they are hooked up. The estimated cost of the Jandric plant for a minimum size would be $150,000. Mr. Gotwald stated that the cost of Supplement No. 2 would be $1000, $700 for Lino Lakes and $300 for Centerville. They would pay their share when the Supplement is presented to them. Centerville would not have to pay immediately for the line to be run that far, but would later. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize the Engineer to proceed with a cost estimate for different segments of the Village to be finished within three weeks and not to cost more than $100. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Clerk will send a letter confirming this. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 9 :50 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Minutes approved at the meeting of June 23, 196 rk- Treasurer The special meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Council held on June 17, 1969 was called to order at 8 :12 p.m. by Mayor L'Allier with all Council members present. Also in attendance were five members of the Planning Board, Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Locher representatives from U. S. Lakes Development Company and many concerned landowners surrounding Reshanau Lake. Mr. L'Allier asked each of the Councilmen if they had received notification of this special meeting which was called to consider the franchise request of U.S. Lakes Development Company (hereafter called Company or Developer). All answered in the affirmative. Mr. L'Allier urged everyone present to be sure to register to vote before the fall elections. Mr. L'Allier gave background information on the development for the benefit of the audience. He stated that Company had purchased several hundred acres of land on Reshanau Lake and the first part of the year the Council had given preliminary ap- proval to a plat containing about 30 acres. They had also given approval for four model homes and one townhouse to be erected. Now the question of sewer and water installation must be decided so the developer can proceed with plans. Mayor L'Allier pointed out the three alternatives in sewer installation: 1) Private wells and septic tanks. This is not conceivable because of the pollution problem of the lakes and the low land problem. 2) The Village provides them with a municipal system. The nearest main where we could connect is located one mile 'Nest of 49 and County Road J. We are not in a position to run a main interceptor up to the development at a cost of approximately $1,366,000. (Some aid could come from the Federal Government for the main pipe and about $250,000 from NSSSD.) He felt the majority of the Council was in agreement in that they did not wish to burden the villagers who have large parcels of land with as assessment in this amount.
