• • 36 <br />• Again. those are som� decisions that must be made by the Council. <br />M�RYOR ASHBACH: I might �oint out also that under this method <br />of procedure by Council initiative f! reyuires a four-fifths vote <br />by the Council to go ahead, At that time they will ask the engineers <br />to take bids. When the Council receives bids - the Council receivas <br />them - they review the bida and if it-appears that they'r� <br />axcessive - more than what we anticipated - the Council still has <br />the prerogative of not gofng ahead. We can revise and th�n take <br />new bids. A lot of people havQ the mistakan idea that once bids are <br />taken that you must proceed but the Council does nat hav� to proceed <br />if they're higher than what they think are reasonable. <br />N�:, HARRY SKILDEN, Arden Place: I'd like to go on record as <br />being very much in favor of the proposed project and hopQ the <br />� Council sees fit to go along with it. <br />69t. JOHN AYSGAARD: Z'd like to draw one comparison that <br />Roger mentioned before, in comparing Falcon Heights to this area <br />when he spoke of the soil conditions there being ideally suit�d <br />for reconstruction of tha streets. The people thought soil conc3ltions <br />were idaally suited for cesspools and at the htaring held there, there <br />were a lot of geople that said we don't naed sewers - we have all <br />sand and gravel here. Nevertheless when ths program went through <br />you couldn't get enouqh installers in there to keep up with the <br />pro9ram in gettinq the hook ups to the homes and I think that if <br />you would take a poll in Falcon Heights today you would find that <br />99`,6 ef the people are fully coqnizant of ths value of the sewer not <br />• only for the value dof hooking up but for the value of the property <br />in the neighborhood itself and I think that would be magnified in an <br />area like this whera you have the ciay. <br />
