Village on 7�ednesday, Februazy 24, 1960 at 8:00 o'clock P.M.
The following members were present: All
and the following were absent: flone
The A".ayor announced that the meetinq was npen for the consider-
�
ation of a proposed sanitary sewer improvement in the Village. The
Clerk produced an affidavit showing publication of a notice appearing
on the improvemsnt two weeks in the official newspaper of the Village,
which affidavit was examined and ordered placed on fila. The Mayor
then called upon all property owners and interested individuals
present either for or against said proposed improvement.
There follows a verbatim transcript of the meeting.
N,AYOR ROSERT ASH9fLCH: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. May
I have your attentfon, piease? This is a special �eeting of the
Villa9e Council of Arden Hills , primarily the purpose of which is
�o have a public hearing, as reyuired by law, on Sewer Improvemsnt
Nc. 3 raithin the Village of Arden Nills.
I would like now for the Clerk to make note of those present
,
and then introduce the people here in case you do not know some of
a speciaY meeting
them sc that you vaill be acyuainted.
Mr. Devitt, who is our acting V�llage F+ttorney in place of

• Mr. Courtney - with the same law firm - and Dick Jones, our ruw
trustee of the village, and h's. K..ennedy I am sure you know; and
Ahr. Crepau and our Clerk, Nrs. Stromauiet; Roger Short with the
Baniater Engineering Company and Mr. Peter Pcpovich with the bond
consultants that the village has engaged; and Mr. Bill Danister, and:
I believe we have a court reporter on the end. These ara the people
who Nill explain the program to you and explain_about the sew�r
itself - the layout and various other detaiis so that you may be �ore
fully infcrmed as +a Improvement No. 3. Then we will have a question
period and also you can voice your opinion one way or the other after
you have received the facts. First I would like to call on the
Sanister Engineering Company and I belleve Roger Short will present
that for us.

NR. ROGER SHOAT, Banister Engineering Company: Thank you,
Mayor Ashbach. The map which you see thrown on the screen here
shoxs the limits of the area for which this hearing is being held -
that for proposed Impmvement No. 3- the area is outlined in this
large jagged line on this maF. Tmprovement No, l which was
tonstzucted last fall and corrtpleted early in 3anuary is this small
azea here which was largely concerned with ttie Arden Hills
No. 3 and 4 subdivisions. Iqrovement No. 2, upon which a hearing
was held last fall, is located on the westerly side of the area
which is being considered this evening. This area consists of
approximately 520 acres of dry usable laY�d. The 9ross area, of
course, is considerably greater than that since the greater portion
of Lake Josephine and approximately one-half of Lake Johanna are
�
included within the limits, but in following the procedures -
necessary, the entire area is included within the description.

• The sewer system, as proposed� wou�d connect to the Village
of Roseville sewer sys:em at approxima�ely the intersection of
Glen Hill Road or County Road D and Hamline Avenue. The outlet
f or the sewage from this arQa was constructad in 1959 by the Village
of Roseville and the authority for the enlaxgement of that sewer
was authorized by the village council following the h�aring fox
Improvement N. 1 and this outlet was created and is now existing
up to this point. The outlet for completed Improvement No. 1
is r�ade at the intersection of Snelling and Glen Itill Road which
eventually reaches the same point for continuation on into the
City of Saint Paul. The system here is proposed all drains
eventually either by gravity or through lift stations from one
large lift station at the intersection of Ingerson Road and Hamline
� Avenue and is lifted through a 10 inch force main and pumped
southerly to the point of connettion with the Roseville system.
The reason ior that is that the area in Arden Hills lies somewhat
lower than th� area to the south in Aoseville making it necessary
that it be lifted to discharge. Everything connQcted from this
area must be lifted. There are no gravity connections in the Roseville
sewer system. The same condition was true in this area that everything
had to be lifted with the exception of the last house on Glen Hill
Road adjacent to Hamline /.venue.
In this program - the houses aren't shown in detail on this map as
they were on the maps which were fastened,up to the wall here and
which you had an opportuntty to look at eariier this evening. 'Ihe
Location of sewers, however, is shown. And in each and every case.it
� is the same as that shown upon the maps on the side walls. She
layo�t of sewers is the same as that �hat was shown on the map at
your hearing on Improvement No. 1 last mMay with the exception that it
�
• 4
has been modified I believe in three separate minor modifications.
� This was based upon comments by the people at the hearing last
May, comments that were gainmd later as well as suggestions from
the Village CounciL One of these changes was to construct the
sewer following f urther along the lake just west of Siems Court
so that there were three homes there which originaily had been
proposed to have only first floor drainage which now receive base-
ment drainage. Another change to take it off fzom Ridgewood Court
arid move it instead to Siems Court from Johanna Boulevard Southerly
almost to Fsden Place. 'fhe reason for that was the manner in which
the housas gained service to the sewer made it appear that that
would be the most practical location. Ansother change tivaa a change
of location off Skiles Avenue to the rear of tha houses there for a
• portion of the area since it appears that the same service may be
provided with a slightly different sewer and accomplish a little
better service to the property. Another and the last change was
made along the east shore of Lake Johanna where there were three
homes located here, two of which were not going to receive service
with the originally planned service along Snelling F,venue and further
studies and investigation indicates that it is possible that this
property can receive service rather than as originally proposed
in lday of 1959. In this area w�st of Snelling Avenue there are
ttvo lift stations located, one in the low marshy ground in this
horseshoe shaped area which lies east of Ridgewood Road and north
cf Arden Place. The second one would lie on the south side of Johanna
31vd. and west of Siems Court and the sewers in this area would flaa
• to that lift station �kith discharge to the east and south.
• • 5
• The other sewers are by gravity and flow down to this main
lift station at this point. As you folks are well acquaintfd, the
topography is yuite rough, particularly in the area west of Sneiling.
One further lift station is proposed based upon the suggestion of
the Council last year since your fair share of industrial area lies
to the north of the Soo line right-of-way here and to get that
property, or a connection for that property other than at a minimal
depth it would be necessary to provide a lift station. Development
in that area will point out as to the exact location for a lift
station and would justify its construction if the buildings are
located any distance from the Soo line tracks.
fi'e have recently discussed the mattez of highway development
�
•
in the vicinity of propoaed Trunk Highway 51 which. as you
probably know, is to continue northeasterly and then north alon3
its present site of Hamline Avenue rather than northarly along
Hamline and the plans for that construction the last time we
discussed it with the Highway Department were not completed.
We don't know and have not been able to learn the exact detail
of grade separations and division. It is possible that rather than
extending up along the west side of new Highway 51 and crossing
there will probably be an underpass at the railroad tracts - it will
probably be necessary to stop at this point and extend up the east side�
YJe have studied this matter over, the first work bein9 done in
1958 with the first preliminary report being submitted to the
Council in December of 1956. We have revised our work, as directed
by the Council and we have, as a result, the layout for the sewers
which you see on the screen and which you have seen on the side wall
here. :'1e feel that this improvement is feasible, practical and
should be made in the manner in which it ia proposed if the
�
�
improvement is to proceed and go ahead.
�
0
I will answer yuestions later, which you may have, after
Nr. P��povich completes his presentation of the other infoxmation.
I have not discussed costs or financing since that is the matter
which he will discuss. Thank you very much. (Applause)
NR. PETER S,�POPOVICH, Peterson 8 Popovich: Bill, why
�
�
don't you slip on that cost slide. I'll stay down here so my
shadow doesn't reflect because with the items being numbered I
can refer to $em and you will be able to follow me. These are
the tosts that are anticipated in this improvement if it is ordered
and we have tried to break them down so yau would have an idea about
how you would be affected, bearing in mind that this is purely
estimated, as we indicate on the top line, for the simple raason
that v+e will not know exact costs until all the construction bids
are let. However, we have tried to follow the basis that all of
the costs we have indicated are conservative - that we wouldn't
go over and that we probably won't get that high. :�e felt it better
to estimate toward greater costs and stay within it rather than
estimate a lowar cost and then exceed it.
Improvement Nc. 1 was estimated at �13C,OO� and $12C,000 bonds
were actually issued. Gn No. 3 the estimated improvsment cost
is $565,C00.00. That's the actual cost of construction that ths
engineers have estimated including the obtaining of easemants and
letting of construction costs. +.a'e have rounded it off to a proposed
bond issue of �600.0OO.OU. The reason for that is because in
addition to the construction costs you have interest costs during
the course of construction because it may take a year to get the
in
whole thing done. By the time the assessment rolls are/process
�: �
�
� you have issued bonds that you mus; issue as you'go ahead on
construction to pay off your contractors and naturally since the
village has no funds now it has to get sufficient funds and this
is what we call capitalized interest. 5o the proposed maximum
cost would be $60G,U00. If the project proceeds faster, there
wouldn't be that much interest cost. If m nstruction costs arQ
less than anticipated. then there will be that much less in
construction costs and so we have felt that we have a very con-
servative fi9ure here in �600,OCC.
In Improvement Ne. 3 th4 proportion of bonds to be paSd by
general taxes is "none". In other words, nothing wiii be against
the general taxing power of the village. No mi11 rate increase.
• 'fhis area alone will pay for this project on a complete assessment
program. This was true in tJo. 1. They handled it completely down
there and in No. 2 west of take Johanna, that too was 1009f assessment.
This is a policy decision that the,Council had made early last
year and they are following that consistently that each area, if
they want sew�r service, would pay for the cost and so your general
taxes on your house would not have to go up and that's the reason
we show it as none. Tharefore, in No. 3 the proport3on of bonds
t� be paid by special assessment is g600.000. Breaking that down
we have shown some detail here on approximate assessments, bearing
in mind that these are estimates and will be definite fiqures at
have
the time of the assessment hearing but in order that you/some idea
of what this will cost you, tfiis is it.
•, �t'here you have abutting sewer per fronC fbot, immediately
abutting the property will be �LO.C�O a front foot. If you do not
have sew�r abutting your propezty but because of the general benefit
�
�
E
�
to the area, it's $2.00 per front foot on non abutting property.
Qn non abutting unplatted property - large undaveloped land -
its $3CO.G0 per acre. They don't abut immediately to a sewer. You
may have a sewer along a 4G acre strip. Naturally that 4Q acres
benefits so they have to pay toward the benefit bacause when they
develop later they don't have to run laterals. The service
connection s�ub is S5Q.00. These service connections are from
the center of the street so the roadway itself doesn't have to
be torn up every time somebody decides to hook up and those service
connections are to the individual homes or business places and
it's estimated those costs would be 550.00.
The mill rate increase. of course, we show as "none" and
�
�
in paragraph Nc. 7 the annual service charge-is estimated at
�36.U0. This service charge is the same thing as a sewer rental
that we have in St. Paul. It's for the cost of operating the
system after it's built. It fncludes what Roseville wi11 eharge, what
the City of �t. Paul char�es and includes also a cost for the
operation of your own department. In other words, once a sewez
s�stem goes into operation yuu have to create a sewer department.
You have some employees, probably a truck� you have to flush the
sewer occasionally. All these things are covered by this charge
of 336.CC. This charge is high. In Roseville� for example� it's
$24.00. Naturally yours would have to be higher beca�se you not
only cover Roseville and St. Paul but you have your own department.
'A'� have purposely put it at $36.00 beCause we had no way of knowing
how many peoplc would ismnedlately hook up and this is the same cost
we included in Improvement No. 1. Naturally� if all of the people
in Improvement Nc. 1 hook up, ail of the people in No. 2, if that is
� �
lo
�
�
�
ordered� and ail of the people in this Improvement No. 3 hook up,
it just then means that you have more people connected to the
system so that the avezage cost would go down. As a result, it
would not be $36.40. For example. you have certain static costs
whether you have 5G connections oi 100 or 150. Supposin9 the average
cost is �3000 and you only have 5C connections, it means 'S0 people
have to pay for that �3,C0� cost. If you add 40G more connactionc
to it, the cost does not go up proportionately because the cost
does not go up in direct proportion to the number of people that
hook up and the service charge could be reduced, but we show it at
this higher figure and I am of the opinion that when everybody
hooks up in Improvements 1, 2 and 3, that the cost will be closer
to �3U, but again we wanted to give yon the worst possible picture.
Thon the next paragraph. "In order to determine your individual
total cost. multiply the front foo�age of your property by $10.00,
as indicated in Item 5 above and add $50.Q0 for the service stub. '
Divide the total figure by 2G years to determine the yearly
assessment cost, and add 5% on the unpaid balance each year". ThQ
statute says that we can set up an assessment program over a p�riod
not to �xceed 3C years. The 3U year period came about two years
ago but none of the communities are using thirty years. Most of
them use twenty. I know of none using thirty and I would have no
idea of how that would be received in tKe bond trade and ao we are
following the consistent patters of twenty years and if it's 20
years you divide the total assessment by 2C to get your princ3ffel
that would be due each year and it's 5� on the unpaid balance. You
can pay this up cash in advance and save the interest, or any time
�
�
❑
�J
during the 2� year period and save the interest during that
period of tims.
11
we have this on� item that cornor lots and odd shaped lots
�
will be given special consideration . That's because if you have
a corner lot there's ane way of approaching it and if thay're pie
shaped lots special consideration is given as far as area and how
you tie in with the rest of the people in that whole block. What
we're trying to do is have eyuality between liks people in a like
area having like homes and like area in their lots. One additional
cost is for the total cost - add an estimated connection of $2GG
which is paid individually or directly to your individual contractor.
This is the cost you �ay once to connect from tha street to your
house. The village does not hook up from the atreet to your home.
This is your private business with yois plumber. Of course,
dependent on how far back your house is locatad, wh�ther your septic
tank or drain field is in the front or back of the home - whethar
you have certain p1umM ng, this cost may vary. It!s frankly an
estimated cost. We have seen it below this and higher depending
on individual circumstances. It's a cost that you pay oncs after
the system is there. So in order to bring this to a more concrete
example, we have taken a home on today's market that would sell foz
about �2G�000 in Arden Hills, which is reflective of this area�
located on an 80 foot lot which is a typical lot in Arden Hills.
So �ooking at it on this basis, we start with No. L The
.
specfal assessment would then be 80 feet times �10.�0 because they
would have immediate service and pay $1C.00. That would be
$800.D0 for the assessment. No. 2, the connection charge is this
$2CC.^0 that you pay cash to your plumber. It's not included in
�
�
12
• your service or your special assessments on a yearly bacis.
Then, your service stub of $5G.00 from the center of the street
to your home, and the taxes that a home like that would be payinq
is nearly 3500.00. We show there would be no millage increase.
5o your taxes should remain at �49C.00 and your service charge of
�36.00. The first year is your worst year bocauae if you don't
pay up in advance you have one-twentieth of the principal plus the
carrying charge of 5� on the full amount so 5M on the total of
No. 1 and No. 3 you see, that's 5850.00. 5R� on the full $850.00
plus one-twentieth works out to $85.00. And that then would be the
first year's cost of your assessmmnt which would be collect�d aiong
with your real estate taxes on May 31 and Octobar 31 of each yaar
thereafter. Nol 8 we show the avera9e annial asseasment. The average
� annual assessment is that coet spread over the whole 20 yea�ea btcause
bear in mind, in the twentieth year you're paying one-twentieth of
�85G.00 which is 542.50 and 595 on $42.50 would be just a little
over �2.OQ so your total cost that last year is $45.00. The first
yeaz is �65.00 and averaging it out over 2C years runs it out
tc 363.25. In Pdc. 9 we said the per�month cost which again would be
your �:orst month, would be the $b5.00 plus the$36.00 you sea� including
the service charge divided by i2 would be $10.08. Zf you take the
average again which would be the $63.75 plus the $36.CC, divide that
by 12. would be $8.31 which would be your total monthly cost.
Bear in mind, however� that it's only the $85.00 or the $63.75 which
is collected with your yearly regular estate taxes on your home.
� The $36.00, the service charge, would be collected by bill that you
vJouZd get from the village 3ust like when you lived in St. Paul you
got a water and sewar bill when you,were in town. The village hasn't
�
�
�
13
yet set that up but will be doing it as soon as this new system
goes into operation and whetheF they will bill quarterly or
monthly I don't know yet and this is a policy for the villags to
decide. Usually it's done on a yuarterly basis. However, when
the costs start d}oing up - St. Paul #or years was on a yuarterly
6asis and la�t ysar because we issued a1L those water rsvenue bands
they went on a monthly basis and when you do it-on a monthly basis
it doesn't appear to cost as fiUCt1. VJe wanted to show what the
total cost wculd be inciuding the service chax9e and assessa+ent so
you wculd know what the total cost wouid be to you includin9
everythinq except the connection charge of $24C,C0 which is a
one shot deal. Of course, at the end of twenty years there would
be no more assessment charge along with your real estate taxes and
the only thing you would pay arould be the service charge then in
effect for the operatiorr, of the system.
You notfce in the heavier typs we say "only the property
included in the proposed sanitary sewer fmprovement No. 3 area will
pay the spectal assessment. Property of the vi2lage outside the
iiapravem�nt area <.Kill pay no asaessments whatsoever for this
improvement". Property outside of that improvement �ill nat
contrlbute one d3me toward this just as y�u who live in Improvement
No. 3 are contributing nothing toward Impro�ement No..l or 2 or
possibly 4 or 5 as the cas� may be in later years. Each proposed
improvement will stand on its own. '.�de find this charqe is a f�ir
assesment. I might say that this Council has adopted a 5;K ,
carrying charge. Many of the communities are maving to 6� becausa
interast rates on bonds have gone up hightr, as you �rrell know. If
you go down to the bank #oday to borrow on a short term note, at
�ne time you couid get it at 59�. Now it's 6� and 6�.
Many of the
�
�
• 14
cammunities are muving up to 6`5. This community so far has done
it on the basis o€ 5J� and Improvement No. l ha� been predicated
on that basfs as has No. 2 and we cerry that forward hera in
Improvem�nt No. 3. Of course, if the money market gets tighter,
we may have ta move up to 6% in order to cover the interest on
bonds becaus� you have to cover your principal and interest and
that's the reason for it. This interest charge, whether 5yd or
b�. and as I say it's predicated now on 5�, is what you can save
if you desixe to pay c�sh. The way this works is that assuming
the Council dQcides to move ahead after they escertain from the
people what their feelings are, they would then order the improve-
ment and then construction bids would be requested by the engineers
in probably 1, 2 or 3 prcjects. Sometimes it's not all Iet at one
time, but that's an engineering recommendation given ie the Council.
After tha contracts have been let and a11 costs havQ been
ascertained we issue the bonds to cover it so that the village'has
money to pay the contractors as they,proceed. Toward the end
of the year - in this partfcular case we couldn't finish this year -
this would probably run from 1960 to 1961 and thQ fall of 1961 is
when we would hold our assessment hearing because we would then know
�
C1erk. Notice is published. You have a right to come in and look
at it before the hearing so you know exaGtly what yvur propos�d
assessment would be and then the hearing is held and you have the
what all the costs would be and would then'hold'our assessment
hearing at whieh time you would have notice and you wo�Id then kncw
exactly what your charge would be aqainst your individual property.
4'�hether you have a home or unplatted property. whatever the case
may be, we list it in an asseesment roll. It's on file with the Village
�
• 15
• right to come in and object or make some proposition sa far
as whether you received full benefit or not. You notice on the
map some hor�s are shown as reteiving partial benefit. Some
receive no service because they're so low from the road that
this system works on gravity and there isn'# any way that you can
pump from the house up higher to the road and if you have no
service available you pay no assessment. Some of those dots are
half dots Evhich means that the house is located below the road such
that you don't have service in the basement but you co�ld havo it
on the first or second floor. In that case you would pay a reduced
charge. ive haven•t taken those odd sit�ations into account here.
�,'e tried to give you a typical sStuation but if any of you have
one of those dotted areas on the map that's the purpose for it and
naturally there could be no assessment unless these is a correlating
benefit. If the benefits are not complete, then partial
assessments are made and that is done at the time of the ass�ssment
hearing and before that assessrt+�nt roll is adopted you have a
chance to come in and speak on your particular piace of property.
After the assessment hearing has been hdd� you have 3C days to come
in and pay up without any in�erest penalty and that assessment
roll is held here in the viilage officials hands until the 30 day
period has gone by and usually we try to do this in the month of
October - hold the assessment hearing sometime by the middle of
October so that the 3G days will bring it up to NovemhQr 15. fYou
have 3C days and then the assessment roll is brought to the County
Auditor where it is spread during the month.of Qecember along with
�
�
• 16
• the regular taxes and collected that way. Some people may not want
to pay the full assessment that year. They may want to let it
go for a yeaz or two but you can come in and pay it any time, at
which time you just pay interest up to the end of the year in which
you pay. In May of 1962. for example, if you decided to pay the
whole thing up� you would have to pay interest tb the end of 1962.
If you decided not to pay it in 1962 you would pay the regular
assessment on May 31 and October 31. Same thing in 1963 and then
perhaps in 1964 you may decide to pay the whole thing up and you
would pay it up and save the rest of ;your interest. We have
found from experience that the prepayments on assessments range
from 1C� to ?3% depending on the community. Sn some areaa many
people come in and decide to pay up to save the interest charge.
• Others want to pay up for one or more other reasons. If you docide
to sell your home, then, of course, you should be vary careful
about paying in advance because this is something you have to
work o�t with your proposed purchaser. As you know, when people
buy a house they buy it with all taxes and assessments paid up
to the year in which it is sold so if you decide to pay in advance,
if you're thlnking about selling; then. of course, by paying in
advance you would have to be sure to increase the pzice of your hoare
to recapture what you prepaid. That's a personal thing.
I think I've covered everything that is applicable here, Mayor.
I'll be happy to answer any yuestions. As the Mayor said� we have a
Court reporter here. You will speak, giving your name, your address,
whether you're for or against it or whether merely asking a question
� or seeking further information. This is a public hearing that's
held in lieu of an election because of only a partial portion of the
�
�
17
�
vilflage being handled at one time and, as a result, we want to
be sure it's condutted accordiny to the statute. 'Nith that. I
think I've concluded.
N�AYOR ASHBACH: Thank you, IAr. Popovich. t3ow, as h1r. Popovich
has said, that is required that when you rise you must either state
whether you're asking a question, whether for or against. That has
to be, according to law I believe, and state your name and address.
So now I'm sure there must be a lot of questions, a lot ef cot�ents
or suggestions. =t'e're willing and want to have them from you now.
Any one have any at this time?
N�R. J. TINiM; 14G0 Cumtrings Lane: I have one question here.
�
Assuming that the service went into effect and I did not co�nect to
the stub, would the annual service charge b� assessed yearly?
l�. POPGVICH: You mean the $36.00? No, the $36.00 is paid
only by those who connect to the system but. I want to be very
careful, the village council does have the power to pass an
ordinance reyuiring that when sewer service is available, that
withln a certain period of time you hook up. Gf course, they have
to get that department on a sound operating basis and sfnce you're
paying for it, or payin� for the assessment, you should hook up.
Usually most people hook up if they have problems. I don't know
whether the Council has yet adopted an ordinance that affects
Improvement tJo. 1 but most Ccuncfls do adopt an ordinance requiring
you to hook up within two years so there is a time limit but during
that time you are not hooked up you do not pay the $3b.001.
NR. TIN.M: The feeling in my area is that if it were don� it
would all be done at the time time unless compulsory and that
probably wouldn't be for a year or two.

MAYOR ASHBACH: Anyone else?
I�4t. HERMAN DOEPNER, 34G1 No. Snelling: I feel I;have
•
unplatted property. You're familiar with it, Mayor. And I was
wondering what is this line here. I see there's an S inch
main that seems to end opposi.te the number 1 there and I was
wondering whether that is based upon an actual survey - a
physical survey of the property.l hardly think so. 2'm wondering
if th� engineering company simply had a blue print and was guided
by the blue print rather than the actual physical lay of the land.
kR. SHORT: I can assure you I was on your property wi#h a
surveying instrument. +Ve did most of our surveys from iHr.
Lametti's pzoperty and checked the elevations and all up on
to your property.
NR. DOEPNER:
I*'�
�dhere did this 8 inch main end?
:,�hich home is yoursl
Nft. DOePNER: M,ine is the small cottage high on the hill.
NR. SH�tT: How far from Lametti's?
1�4i. DOEPNER: Three houses away.
Mi. SHORT: 'Ne had anticipated coming to that low saddle
t�i. DOEPNr'�: How far in from the lake?
t�t. SH�tT: Approximately the location shown on the plan here.
hH. DOEPN£R: ivouldn't that reyuire the destruction of a large
�
number of trees? In acyuiring that easement �vould that be bought
from me?
hR. SHOKT: That's a ma�ter of policy from the Council. To
date the easements have been negotiated. I think in most cases a
�xaiver of trespass has been obtained.
btR. DOcPNER: Is ary land regarded as unplatted?
�
.�
It's a building site and you would have to pay frontege
which would be comensurat� wlth the benefit you raceived from the
sewer. I'm taling sort of Isw-like here when I say that assessing
has to be done an thQ basis of benefit to the property. If there
isn't benefit there can't be assessment but if you have adequate

i.R, SHORT: Your land is not platted into a platted lot.
property and benefit for more than one reason beside a building
siie, then your benefit is qreatea than that on a small building
site. I can't tell you exactly what the assessment would be
but as far as i�nediate assesement is concerned, you would be
assessed the sama as platted property for that portion of your
property that gets benefit from the sewer.
NR. DOEPN�t: As I see here� this 8 fnch main seems - you
�
say you come down to the low spot of the saddle so my house will
be probably I would say from that point probably 100 feet from
the terminatSon of the main.
M�. SHORT: As you know, you have a numb�r of terraces on
your prop�rty between the home and !he lake and b�cause of those
terraces and the location and treas we didn't feel it was proper
that the village should undertake to construct through the texraces
and damage them and have to pay for the damage but the sewer should
come on to your property so you covld reasonably connect to it-rather
than building it up to your house
NR. DOEPNER: Then th4e terraces are really in front of my
�
house.
NR. SHORT: Extending north and south.
tufi. DOEPNER: And the main here seems to end at the low part
of the saddle so that part of the property which is north of this
� �
' 20
• point 3s probably almost 200 feet that would not be subject to any
assessment.
Iu42. SHURT: Assessinq is not always done simply by the bare
amount of sewer in fr�nt of the house. In other words. Z think a good
example is the Case where your sewer runs up along th� block and
terminates at the last house. He may have 2G feet of sewer in front
where the neighbor may have l00 feet, both of them having 109 foot lots.
I think everyone will aqree that his benefit , as long as the sewer
is extended far enough, is as great as the man next door. yet it
certainly wouldn't be equitable for the man to pay 100 feet of
frontage and the man next door 20,Il think yours is a somewhat
similar condition.
h-R. DOHPNER:' I think despite the £act that tfiis sewer main
• ends about the midd.le ofthat low part of tha saddle that I'm
still able to reach it from where my house is.
NR. SHORT: I would say this, that in making th� assessment,
those facts have to be taken into account by ihe people making the
assessment. That at the time the assessment ro1I is published
and you have the oppoxtunity to know the amount of money, if it
was your feelinq that it was improper, that is your opportunity to
register ywr objections. Assessments like this are normally
reviewed with the Village Council so they rr.ay have an opportunity
to judge a number of similar problems so they can see the people
concerned are being treated equitably.
f�f'i. DOi:PNER: At this time I would register in objection to
� the proposal.
N;AYOR ASHBACH: Anyone else?
N�i. JOHN E. DAUANEY, 110G Pioneer Building, Saint Paul:

I am appearing and speaking in favor of the proposed sewer
21
improvement. I am appearing as ccntract for deed purcAaser of a
tract of land, part of which is located in the northeast corner of
proposed Improvement No. 3. This I believe� under Pete's definition,
would be included as unplatted non abutting land. On an acreage
basis this would bear an assessment of approximate.ly $6.,000.
From our experience in development of lands personally and as an
attorney for other people in other villages in the suburban area,
I can advise the Council that not only is that an increment in
value but the health problem fs very important. To give you an
example, I appeared in some litigation regarding the Rose Vista
apartments in Roseville. A few years ago there was a health problem
there as a result of septic tanks and it became so acute that the
District Court of Ramsey County ordered the entire project
consisting of about 115 apartments - ordered that closed uniess
they were able to receive a sewer connection wi#hin 60 days. ri'e
got one extension of 90 days and the Court said that would be the
final extension. If we had not been able to receive the connection,
that entire pro�ect would have been closed down. With regard to
business and industry, which I know thQ village is interested in,
and a portion of the area I am speaking of is zoned at the present
time for industrial asage. I know from having contacted d�velopers in
Roseville and other areas, these people are interested in having
access to 5anitary sewers even though not enqag�d in a business which
uses a great deal of water. The matter, from a business standpoint.
is important to any prospective business or industry locating
within the Village of Arden Hills. From a health standpoint it is
important to everyone and facing the prospective assessment of $6�000

although we would have no immedia�e service I think it is
important enough to the property and speaking purely from a
selfish viewpoint Z feel it is an asset to the property and good
for Arden ffills also. Thank you.
t�RS. STEPEIPN PRAGER, 332G North Bunlap: First of all,
can you tell me how many companies are asked to bid on the project?
NR. GUILLIAM BHNISTER, Banist�r Engineering Company: This is
�
advertised by law in the Construction Bulletin, which is a trade jour-
nal, and, of coursa� �ere is no guarantee as to how many will bid
but generally speak�ng we can average it out,that there would be
10 or 12 bidders which submit bids on the construction of the
project. That will vary. Sometimes it's as low as 7 and sotn�times
as high as 20.
NF�S. PRAGER: Could you tell what this main lift station is
yoing to look like?
hR. SHORT: I would say at this time and would recot►enend at
this time that the structure should be constructed of concrete
below ground level and should be a brick veneer building above
gradQ; attractive building with a flush roof, projected overhang;
be landscaped and shou�d be an at¢sactive building..
MAYOR ASHBACH: How large would thai be?
M�Ft. SHGRT: I would say about 12 by 12 or 12 by 16.
hR. ED HUSTAD, 1445 Forest Lane: I am for the project, and on
the last page of the brochure that we all got in the mail - under
paragsaph 4 in the ccnclusion, "the cost is reasonable and compares
favorably with other metropolitan suburbs". I'd like a few brief
remarks on what the experience has bean in other suburbs in Ramsey
County in the last four years or so.

NR. PC?POVICH: It's impossible to give you the detail.
Let me say this� you must be careful in comparing apples with
apples and not a gsapefruit with a prune. It depends on how a
community may do its financing. In Falcon Heights they had a
combination of taxes and front foot assessment: I've forgotten what
that was - about $9.00 a front foot - but they had a very healthy
tax increase of about 15 mills that went along with it. Here, you
the improvements were large. In Shoreview� which incidentally
have a p�re $10.Q0 front foot without any tax increase. If you want
to compare this proposal with Falcon Heights, ycu see, you're trying
to compare purely a 100pS assessment with a bombination $4.�0 and
the mill rate. I am convinced in Falcon Heights thatwhen you tak e
the mill rate increase into consfderation it's more than the'$lO.CQ
you have here. In Rose�ille their first one ren $6.05 a front foot.
'Ih@ secand assessment ran $6.25. The third, that's now under way,
is estimated around $7.00 with a millage fncrease also there that 1
think on the first ons was 1-mill, on the second itTs 3 and I think
about 6 on the third one. Of course, thisrdllage is something that
depends on what your assessed valuation might be. Tn Roseville
will be holding a heazing on their sanitary sewer improvement
program on March 29, it is estimated there that will run $10.50
a front foot. This is varied fxom a high, for example, of New Hope
where they put in sewer that ran as high as $13.00 a front foot all
the way down to $6.00 or $6.5C a front foot. It varies - one reason
is the construction situation you run into - the combinatian of
financiny that you do - but this is in line with ather munici{�lities
that are 100°b special assessment as this is.
t�i. GERALD 9UET0,4, 1443 Forest Lane: Roger, can you give me a
over here rather than the general one. Do you have any �4articular
24
� .
�
• brief deacription of how deep your cuts are going to be around
through the strests?
AR�. SHORT: I think Z can do that best ff I look at this map
point in mind, NLr. Buetow?
l�4t. BUETOW: Nothing particular.
t�t. SHORT: The sevrers is►the area from present Hamlina Avenue
�
east in most instances� are going to run in depth from 12 or 13
feet deep down to a minimum depth of perhaps 7 feet. Th�re are a
few points where there are low lakeshore properties where the
sewers will run as far as 14 feet in that area, Along Hamline
Avenue. the sewers probably are going to run somewhere between
8 and 12 feet as is common in most sanitary sewer construction.
Sewers are built normally to serve the basements and mos�
basements are in the ground on normal building sites approximately
5%� to 6 feet although it may be as much a� 8 fe�t so you recognize
to construct sewers deep enough it has to have a depth of about
8 feet. 'Nhere you are a flat property you have to start low to
reach the extremities. then you may get in flat ground to 14 or
15 feet. There are greater depths at soma points - here for
instance on Arden Place where there are some low lying houses th�
depths are going to be considerable. Again on Siems Court where some
of the houses on the east side lay quite low that's qoing to be a
depth of 16 or 17 feet.

MR. BUETO'�7: To be more specific, how abouf Forest Lane and

terrain.
� �
The reason I ask that is it's rafrer hilly in that
I�t. SHORT: On Forest Lane and Skiles Lane - my recollection
�
�
25
�
without looking at the profiles, and I don't remember exactly -
is that it isn't too bad there beca�se the sewer on Forest Lane
for instance would run fzom Snelling down to Glen Arden Road which is
by and large down hill most of the way although there are somehumps
in it. Gn Skiles Lane, and I take it you're speaking of between
Hamline and Snelling, the sewer meets in the middle thera between
Glen Arden Court and Glen Arden Road and flows both firections from
that high point.
NR. 8U5'TON: You say an average of about 12 feet?
NR. SHORT: The average depth would be pro bably a littl•
�
less than 12 feet. I don't have the pzofiles hese to examine for
each foot on each of these streets but I don't recall off hand any
snecific difficult points in those places. I think there is one
low house that would probably gain service off Glen Arden F.oad
which would be deep.
MA. BUE?OW: Are you going to have some tremendously deep
cuts like on the west sfde of blidland Hills?
IuF�. SHORT: No. That �tias wer 3G feet and there aren't any
like that in this improvement.
NR. AL OLEN, 3270 No. Hamiine: I have looked at th• sewer
�
project with rather mixed emotions but if I have to make a stand I
might as well say I'm opposed to it I guess probably because it
touches my pocket book. I would like to ask this question and maybe
Mr. Popovich maybe in his last sentence before he aat down may have
answered it but I think this meeting of this type gives everyone an
opportunity to say whether they're for it or oFposed to it and yet
there are a limited number of people who will stand up and say they
are or are not against it and I'm wondering why we're apendin9 this
�
�
�
�
kind of money. It wen't be possible for each individual to
have a vote on this sort of thin�C. ITm wondezing if this is
really representation when you have four-fifths of the Council
pass on something that might cost me $3,000.
aR, pppG`JICH: Thexe is no answer except that elections are
never held on them. You can'� tell me one villaqe that ever voted
on a sanitary sewer system.
N�. OLEP1: '�r�e had one vote on this and it was voted down.
[�'R. nOPQVICH: That was on a bond issue for levying ovar
�
the entire village and making it a full faith General Obligation
IIond. None of this is genezal obiigation. fhis is all special
assessment. 'n'here you have special assessment it's done this way.
The only other utiliti@s thinq you vote on is water because on that
the law reyuires that you must vote. However, the various interim
committees that are studying it are going to recommend to the
next legislature that you don't even vote on wat�r - that you do
the same as all other improvements. This is local improvement code
and sewers. parks, playqrounds. tree cutting. streets going in,
burbing� black topping are all done uader the local improvement
code without an election.
Nft. JGHI�fftYSGAARD: 1744 No. Pascal: I had one commmnt with
�
respect to the aanparisons 9iven here before. The comparlsons in
cost between Falcon Heights, which incidentally I participatsd in
and paid at that time. and the Rosaville figures. There was a
vast difference I believe in the specifications regarding those
two jobs insofar as the back filling and street maint�nance. In
Falcon }ieights the streets were re-built following the completion of
the sewer project.
NR. SHORT: There is no estimate of cost included for street
�
�
resurfacinq.
�
2'7
N�ft. F.YSGAARD: This is set up as the same specs as Roseville -
h�. SHORT: There are no specs at this time but as was the
case in Improvement N�. 1 and the hearinq for Number 2, there is
no street surfacing included within the estimated costs.
N�t. POPGVICH: This is the very statement I made before.
�
It's hard to compare unless you're comparing the same thing. You're
right on that because you have to know what's included in a project
to compare. These other villages are all doing the same thin9 here.
They are not putting in permanent street repair because it's foolish
to do it because you know some time you may have water. Falcon
Heights had water so it made sense for them to permanently resurface
the streets but in a situation lik� this you have to be careful because
there might be other improvements coming along.
hR. RYSGr1l,RD: Faleon Heights installatian included stubs
to the property line so there was not the necessity to ever dig
in:o the streets for sewer construction.
MR. POPOVICH: 5o does this.
NR. 3ANISTER: The stubs here to the propesty line are lncluded.
�
It's pretty much generally accepted that the street repair or street
surfacing is going tok� moze expensive. It'� goinq to cost the
property owners or village more if it's done by the sewer contractor
if done as part of the sewer job because in spite of all of the
compaction that's tzied - and Falcon Heights experienced this if
you were there - there is still some settling afterwards and you
do not gain the street surface done iranediately afterwards that
would be gained or obtained if you were to walt a year or two.
Secondly, the type of work is different and the contractor - the
�
�
m
�
sewer contzactor that would do the sewer co�struction probably
will sublet the strest cons;ruction to somebody else and there is
an additional handling charge on it so there are certain things
that it is felt that it's cheaper ta do it as two separate items
at t�Ho separate times and in this case with some of your streets
being just an oiled surface there would be substantial to gain
by waiting.
Nf�. SHOftT: Another fact to compare Falcon Heights and Arden
�
Hills. Arden Hills is more clay than sand. Sand will remain
relatively stable after the wozk is completed whereas you can
pack clay until the cows come hortw and still following a frost
it will tend to soften up so as Mr. Popovich said it's hard to
compare one with another on all conditions becaus� condit-ions are
just different as to soil and other things.
NRS. BILL NdLF. 317Q No. Hamline: I was wond�ring what the
comparison was of our improvements on Number 1 and 2 as compared
with this estimate on 3. �ihat the footage costs are.

hP. POPOVICH: In (Vumber 1 it was $12.60 a front foot and Nc. 2
�
it was $1C.50 a front foot sc we're a little less here. The reason
for it in Improvement No. 1, it was such a small project and yet
you had certain costs involved irrespective of the number of homes.
tiR. SHORT:
A�tS . 'NOLF :
I think the principal reason for the difference -
I meant between $12Q,00� and $6GO,G00.
1�R. SHORT: Because of the size of the improvement.
MAYOR ASHBACH: Any other questions?

�@R. FRED ti�J. UGHL� 158C No. Griggs, Roseville: I'm for the

sewer system b�cause I'm for something that I think will protect
our water supply - our qround water supply - and i feel that
there is a possibilify that these septic tanks might be endangerin9
our ground water supply. Just today I was reading something here
that I thought I might pass slon9 to you. Just a couple of words
here. A committee in New York State - by the way they have a lot
of problems with contaminated ground water in New York State so
that got a cammittee together out there to study the problsm. In
�
1957 this committee, in its report, said the follo�ning: It is
agreed by sanitary and public engineering profession that the only
satisfactory way that the disposing of domestic sewage in the modern
comrt:unity is by means of public sewers.
�
In the Health D�partment we
receive plats for approval with septic tank installations and in
278 cases approved them although wa know private sewage disposal
systems, regardiess of condition, is a temporary condition which
only postpones the development of the ultimate solution which is
public sewers. This committee is definitely opposed to septic
tank installations in realty subdivisfons built up or potentially
built up areas regardless of soil and ground water conditions.
septic tanks should be reserved for use in pr�domSnantly rural
areas. Another paper by the American 5ociety of Civil Engineers
states that as population d�nsity approaches one and a half persons
per acre the need for public se�ruage is recognized. It is also
staTed in another public report that sewers are financially feasible
• when population density is 5 persans per acre. N.y int�rest is� as I
said, in protecting our grou�d water resources. I'm a eanitary engineez

DR, JUHAN 5. SEK,HON, 1575 cdqtwateT Avenue; I was very
much interested zn the last gentleman's remarks and I think I
won't have to say too much except I have lettars here from ,
residents of Arden Hills 2 and they are all £or the sewer project.
the sooner the better they say and here is one of them -" I
den't think you realize that Azden Hi11s 2 is conteminating Lake

the ground and goes under Glenarden Road into that open space
behind Cummings Lane that comes into Lake Johanna, I had a
State Board of Health man,Mr. Johnson, take sampl+es and it's very
important to us that live on Lake Johanna that we be not subjected
to contaminated water comfng from P.rden Hills 2." On Ingerson's
. property the Nater table is tao high. They can't dTain anything
in there and they have a lot of trouble bui]ding homes in t�hat property.
Arden Hills 1 they have had trouble too and 2 have haa a lot of
reports. Right now I got word from a man living between Caunty
Road F and G on Hamline. He wants me to stop tomoxrow to see him.
He's a farmer and has two acres. One of the naighbors is draining
the sewa�e on to his property so you see it`s coming up to the
farmers too. They are complaining that sewer is being drained

out and it's not sanitary. I think we must all realize it's expensive.
I had a cqnnection made frorr the stub to tne house which was 150 feet.
Frices are going u� but you can't stop pxogress.
MR, FR/�N� C. HODGSOiV, 14U4 Skiles Lane: I'm about 14 feet above
the proposed sewer. I suppose the price is pretty stiff but as against

To what extent, if any, is there evidence of any water contamination

MR. BANISTER:
Frank� to answer your yue�tion specifically,
�
and I reviewed this as recently as this afternoon with th�
State Board of Health - there are no known cases of pollution
of individual wells from sewaye in Arden Hills. Now.,before that
simple statement is left at rest, no tests have been made, to carry
it a li�tle bit further. The State Bcard of Health has not made tests
and would not do it on a wholesale basis or come into the Village
of Arden Hills until specifically reyuested by the Village Council
and I be]ieve that has not be�n done. To tarry your statem�nt a
little farther - and these are figures I am not vouching for the
accuracy of them, I am only repeating them givtn to me by the
5tate Board of Health. 28 munfcipalities in ths surroundin9 area
have been tested and of those, on a mathematical projection it is
estimated that the wells tested would serve, if projected. 52,000
individual homes. 5^% of those have shown some evidence of
se+vage chem icals and I do not say,and I repeat so this �s not a
scare or panic, pleas• do not misunderstand - the mere presence
of the sewage chemicals in itself does not mean that they are
polluted or unsafe.

It is an indicatfon of a trend. Does that
DR, i=D'��ikRD F. 'ALsH, 14Q1 Farest Lane: I am for the project.
�
I live on a street af perhaps 11 or 12 homes and of that number I
would venture to say there are 7 or 8 that are having trouble all the
way from having their cesspaols pumped to runnin9 out in the street.
I think that may be typical of any street and I think once an
individual has to have a cesspool pumped I think he's having trouble.

only. I believe your home lays some ten feet bel'ow the street
grade. Is that right?
1�',, Lt: NA�A; kbout that.
";'R. sHORT: It was our recommendation and our conclusion after
studying the costs that it would be better to provide first floor"
drainage for that home with a reduced assessment than to recommend
ta the Council that the entire area should face the cost of going
deep enough to Frovide basement dxain far one home so located.

up the sewage?

floor water and if it's only wash water, it would be my recommendation
you should install a sump pump as is done in many homes and pump
it up to your sewer connection from that point. If you have a kitchen
then any type of enclosed sump pump which waid be odor fres is yuite
expensive. It would be a matter of several hundred dollars,

Please convey to Dr. Sekhon and to any others whom
it may concern, the fact of my support of the proposed
sanitary sewer development in this part of Arden Hills.
I believe the project to be necessary and of such immediate
• importance that no more time should be Lost. The cost
of the development, +ahile high. does not appear to be
beyond reason, and probably is considerably less than
the eventual cost of failure to act.
;��hen I canvassed our nei�hborhood sounding out
sentiment on this issue, my neighbors, Ms. Roy Paulson
and Dr. ..'m. Hynan, both assured me of their support
cf the sanitary sewer pro�osal as outlined then.

without a clean out. That's to protect you against a chtap job
to start with and a lot of trouble afterwhile. V�hen you g�t to
going around the house and building these curves and clean outs
and the digging and a lot of pipe. perhaps it's cheaper to qo right
through the basem�nt, and that would be as Mr. Pcpovich pointed
out� the individual connection is entirely up to the�property owner
on his indivfdual contract with the man that's going to do the work
and I expect he will go into the details at that time and see
which is going to be the cheaper. So far my information has been
that there are many situations when it's actually cheaper to go
back through the basement floor than the curvas and clean outa.
MAYOR ASHBACH: Any other questions or Gommfnts?
�
hR. J. TIMM, 1400 Cu�nings: I don't know if I w�nt on
record but at this time I would like to say I am in favor of the
proposed project.
NQ�. L. B, STEVENSON� 3461 Siems Court: I would like to know
at what approximate date ws could expect the sewers to be installed.
b�t. BANISrFFi: To answer your yuestion, that, of course. is a
�
tough one and some of it is going to depend a little bit on procedure
of the Council. They have to take a position before construttion
could be underway. 7he plans and specificatio�s would have to be
completed. It is possible that part of the area might have s4rvice
in the year of 196C. I would hesitate to promise service for
196C. I think some of tha area could get it but it's questionable
as to whether all of 1t could. The Council has within six months
of this date to order the improvement in and if the Council
waited 6 manths before ordering it in then plans and specifications
being prepared after that� there would be no construction in 196C.
• • 36
• Again. those are som� decisions that must be made by the Council.
M�RYOR ASHBACH: I might �oint out also that under this method
of procedure by Council initiative f! reyuires a four-fifths vote
by the Council to go ahead, At that time they will ask the engineers
to take bids. When the Council receives bids - the Council receivas
them - they review the bida and if it-appears that they'r�
axcessive - more than what we anticipated - the Council still has
the prerogative of not gofng ahead. We can revise and th�n take
new bids. A lot of people havQ the mistakan idea that once bids are
taken that you must proceed but the Council does nat hav� to proceed
if they're higher than what they think are reasonable.
N�:, HARRY SKILDEN, Arden Place: I'd like to go on record as
being very much in favor of the proposed project and hopQ the
� Council sees fit to go along with it.
69t. JOHN AYSGAARD: Z'd like to draw one comparison that
Roger mentioned before, in comparing Falcon Heights to this area
when he spoke of the soil conditions there being ideally suit�d
for reconstruction of tha streets. The people thought soil conc3ltions
were idaally suited for cesspools and at the htaring held there, there
were a lot of geople that said we don't naed sewers - we have all
sand and gravel here. Nevertheless when ths program went through
you couldn't get enouqh installers in there to keep up with the
pro9ram in gettinq the hook ups to the homes and I think that if
you would take a poll in Falcon Heights today you would find that
99`,6 ef the people are fully coqnizant of ths value of the sewer not
• only for the value dof hooking up but for the value of the property
in the neighborhood itself and I think that would be magnified in an
area like this whera you have the ciay.

t±4�. E. J. CAMP, 3470 Siems Court
�
I want to register myself
in favor of the proposal and I have one yuestion to ask, '�Jt have
one of thosa odd shaped lots that measures 12C feet in the front
and 57 in the back. Do you have some general idea of what kind
of an adjustment they make. Do you go on the area on that or what?
ThR. SHORT: IR11 try to answar it. It's hard to project ahead
as to what an aesessment roll might consist of that might be'prepared
six months or a year from now. The lots in your area are of fairly
standard size� are they, with the exception of yoursR nr are they
all -
A+R. CAMP: Siems Court cuts in at an angle and 9ives u: 120
�
feet along the road.
Nfft. SHORT: Freyuently, in sewer assessing the width of the
lot at the set back point or at the front of the house may be
utilized as frontage rather than the frontage at the street. Yo�
get a narrow pie shaped lot and may have practicaliy no frontag�.
By using either the circular or the split width of the lot -
that's one way of arriving at it. It also� of course, applies
with a lot that's narzow in back - or you may average the lot.
If you're in with a group of lots that are all 100 foot lots and
you're the only irregular one, it weuld be reasonable to assume
that your assessment should be approximately the same so it's a
measure of the benefit where the assessment is fyuitable with other
properties receiving similar bentfit.
specifically without studying them out.
It can't bs answezed
• DR. �tADLEY :y. KUSSKE. 1179 Tiller Lan�: I would like to
register my vote as being 10096 in favor of the sower project.
M�YOR ASHBACH: Are you ths gentleman that calted me the
�
• 38
• other day?
DR. KUSSKc: Yes.
b'AYCR ASHBACH: I see Leon Sabine walked in. That rominds
me of a story. It seems that the father had a boy in the fifth
grade and he was discussing what kind of teaching he had been
getting at school and didn't think he was learning anything so
he told th� teacher I want to ask the class some yuestions. H�
said, who knocked nown the Yr'alls of Jeritho? The class sat th�rs
and buzzed for a while and a fellow in ths back said� I didn't
do it. The father was a little disgusted so he went to the
� princinal's office. He said, all I did was ask who knocked down
the �Jalls of Jericho and Jehnny Jones dold me h• didn't do it.
• The principal said, don't get excited. I know Jehnny Jcnes pretty
well and his parents. Zf he said he didn't do it, he didn't do it.
The father wasn't satisfied with that so he went to the Superintendent.
He told the Superintendent. I asked the clasa, I asksd the principal�
now I want to ask you who knocked down fie iNallc of Jerlcho, and the
Superintendent said, now don't get excited. Let's not make a
federal cas� out of this. Submit a claim and we'll pay it.
- Are there any further yu�stions?
I want to thank you for coming on behalf of the Council and
the Council will take the mattar under advisement. I don't know
whether they will do anything tonight or wait until tha next
meeting and think about it £or a while but I do want to thank you
for coming out and g{iving us your attention and ideas on thle
• propos�d improvement.
