Mr. Stonehouse indicated a four inch pipe will serve 20 acres and a six inch pipe would serve 80 acres. Mr. Stonehouse indicated considering limited development the four inch would be adequate. MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to direct staff to negotiate a connection agreement between the National Guard Reserve and Arden Hills. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). SCOPE OF WORK ON SANITARY SEWER STUDY Superintendent Winkel indicated as part of the 1995 budget, $6,500 was allocated for the preparation of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. Mr. Winkel indicated City Engineer, Terry Maurer estimated the project cost to be $15,000, which far exceeds the 1995 budgeted amount, but staff feels that these costs can be reduced with the Public Works crew performing some of the work outlined in the proposal. Mr. Winkel indicated the purchases and expenditures out of the 1995 sanitary sewer budget will also be monitored very closely. If it is determined at the mid-point of the year that the sewer budget cannot absorb the cost of the study, some budgeted items will not be purchased in 1995. Mr. Winkel indicated staff recommends that M.S.A. Engineering be authorized to prepare a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan for the Arden Hills Sanitary Sewer system. Councilmember Hicks inquired as to the benefits the City will receive. Mr. Winkel indicated issues regarding lift stations, current flow rates, Lake Johanna and those type of issues will be reviewed by the engineering staff of M.S.A. MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize M.S.A. Engineering to prepare a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan with expenditures not to exceed $15,000. The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
