<br />Business from the Floor
<br />Mrs. Doris Caniff, 3946 G1enview Avenue, described a continuing drainage
<br />problem on her property which she stated is caused because of under-sized,
<br />inadequate culverts. Mrs. Caniff said she has requested, for many years, that
<br />Council look at the situation in order to see first hand the quantity of water
<br />which rushes from the street through her yard, along both sides of her house,
<br />to the park area east of her lot; reported the water is pouring into her
<br />basement - has soaked walls and carpeting whenever we experience heavy rains.
<br />
<br />Council concurred to authorize the City Engineer to look into this drainage
<br />problem and to prepare preliminary cost estimates for a solution, as soon as
<br />possible.
<br />
<br />REPORT OF VILLAGE ENGINEER DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN
<br />
<br />Reconsideration of Resolutions Nos. 86-20 and 86-21, Combined Interceptor and
<br />Truhler Water Improvements
<br />Council was referred to Christoffersen's letter of May 9 re Sanitary Sewer
<br />Extension South of Round Lake Improvement SS-83-6, updating the estimated cost
<br />of the project at $601,000; $47,300 to be paid by MWCC and $553,700 to be
<br />financed by the City. Christoffersen explained that at $35/foot and $800/acre,
<br />about $195,000 can be financed through assessments (about 35% of the cost to be
<br />financed); noted these are assumed rates which would have to be revised when
<br />actual costs are known after bids are received.
<br />
<br />Christoffersen noted that the estimated cost of the Truhler water improvement
<br />(W86-2) is $50,000.
<br />
<br />McNiesh reported that if the projects are combined, at least 20% of the
<br />combined total of $603,700 ($120,740) would have to be assessed; if separated,
<br />sewer assessment would have to be at least $110,740 (20% of $553,700). McNiesh
<br />explained that, if combined, and sewer is not assessed, then the water cannot
<br />be assessed either. McNiesh said the Utility Fund currently has $400,000;
<br />anticipates an additional $124,540 levied this year.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Sather moved, seconded by Hansen, to reconsider Resolutions Nos. 86-20 and
<br />86-21, Combined Sewer Interceptor and Truhler Water Improvements. Motion
<br />carried unanimously. (5-0)
<br />
<br />Christoffersen referred Council to a drawing of the potential area for sewer
<br />assessment, indicating ~ssessibl~frontage along the sewer, double-side
<br />frontage from a point 200' west of Highway 10 to the southeast corner of
<br />Minnesota Diversified property, and single-side from that point to 35W, plus
<br />acreage; Christoffersen estimated about $195,000 can be assessed at assumed
<br />rates of $35/front foot and $800/acre.
<br />
<br />Hicks moved, seconded by Peck, that Council confirm the actions taken on April
<br />28, adopting Resolutions Nos. 86-20 and 86-21, for Combined Sewer Interceptor'
