<br />MR. LELAND ROEBKE, 4355 Highway 10: I would like to know <br />why we're here. Why the issue of water? <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: It was a time when we wanted to find out <br />if you wanted it. You're here to tell us. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. ROEBKE: The way the conversation seems to have been <br />going so far is that we're going to get water. I personally <br />don't think we need it. I guess my opinion is - let's wait. <br />If we have contaminated water, six block or nine blocks away <br />from us, very likely within a certain number of years we're <br />going to find our water is contaminated and what we should <br />(inaudible) I believe that we would have a case against the <br />army or whoever, and let them stand the cost. In my case, <br />it's approximately $10,000 for water that I wouldn't hook up <br />to. I'm back to where other people have been this evening - <br />with roads being cut through and so on - we just. simply don't <br />want it. I suppose there's some possible ecomonic value to <br />my property by having water out there, but I'm not sure it's <br />there if I don't hook up to it. So I have to incur another <br />$2,000 or $3,000 cost bringing pipes in to my house. In my <br />opinion, I don't feel I need it. <br /> <br />MR. LEONARD GRUDNOSKE, 4445 Highway 10: I'm kind of <br />asking the same question - did anybody petition for it? <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: No. <br /> <br />MR. GRUDNOSKE: I'm against it - that ridiculous figure <br />of $50.00 a foot. Like he said, there are a lot of people <br />there with more footage than him. We're not talking 80 foot <br />lots along there - some are 240. For a more realistic figure <br />of $18.00 or $20.00 - I could go along with that. .If the <br />Council wants to assess us $18.00 or whatever fair figure <br />you arrive at and put the rest on the general taxes - which <br />I know you really wouldn't want to do - it depends on where <br />our priorities are. I think it would make more sense to do <br />that than to bury a power line on County Road E and pass that <br />on to me, which (inaudible) think it was ridiculous. I'm <br />against it. Like I say, if we could come in at $18.00 or <br />$20.00 a foot - I'll pay my share, which I think is a fair <br />share, but I can't see $50.00 a foot. <br /> <br />MRS. JEANNE WINIECKI: The cost per foot - I'm curious - <br />(inaudible) any different from people north of 96, whose <br />cost is $16.23. That's still a single-sided road. That's <br />such a big difference. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: There are several factors on that. <br />Perhaps Mr. Christiffersen - do you want to explain some <br />of the factors on why the cost north of 96 is different than <br />south? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: The Minnespta PCA has made appli- <br />cation to the EPA for superfunds to install at least a <br /> <br />-7- <br />
