Motion carriedt <br /> (4-0) . <br /> ARSENAL/SHOREVIEW Mr. Chuck Ahl, Public Works Director from the City of <br /> UTILITY HOOKUP Shoreview, was present to discuss the proposed utility <br /> connection between the Army Reserve Center and the City <br /> of Shoreview. Mayor Sather had submitted his concerns and questions to <br /> the Council on this topic previously. <br /> Mr. Ahl noted that the Agreement for Sanitary Sewer and Water Main <br />. Extension and Service was for the Department of Army Reserve Center to be <br /> located at the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and TH 96, within the <br /> City of Arden Hills. <br /> City Attorney Filla briefed the Council on wh~re Shoreview is at with this <br /> agreement, and what the agreement does or does not accomplish. He noted <br /> that Shoreview wants to maintain the integrity of their utility services, <br /> by not having contaminated wastes allowed in their system, no hazardous <br /> dumping, no non-use for emergencies and they want to recover part of the <br /> cost for constructing oversized trunk lines.

The County wants assurance <br /> that the fees will be paid by the two cities. Ahl noted that Shoreview <br /> approves of the proposed agreement with the Army but does not approve of <br /> what goes on at the site, such as the pollution, stored busses, etc. He <br /> stated the Army is not a good neighbor for either Shoreview or Arden Hills <br /> and their proposal is not a good use for the land. He stated this would <br />. be a good way to receive money from the Army for the Lexington Avenue <br /> improvements. <br /> Councilmember Malone suggested that Arden Hills be included as a <br /> co-inspector and be allowed to look at the site development plans with the <br />
