MEMO DATE : January 21, 1999 TO : Honorable Mayor and Council FROM : Jim March RE : Water Interconnect Included in your packet is a copy of the latest version of the CONTRACT FOR JOINT USAGE OF WATER FACILITIES BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LINO LAKES AND THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE. Mr. Tom Peterson (Bonestroo..) has had recent discussions with the Lino Lakes Acting City Engineer John Powell (TKDA) in regards to our interest in pursuing the interconnect for the 1999 construction season. I asked Mr. Peterson to document his conversations so that they can be recorded and distributed to Council. I have pulled several pieces of information from the water interconnect file to be included in this packet to bring the new Councilmembers up to speed on this issue. Also included in the packet are some excerpts of minutes from previous Council and other meetings on this issue. In addition, I have included the written review from the former City Attorney on his review of the original contract document and his suggested change to the contract. The original draft feasibility study for the 20th Avenue Watermain Interconnection and Trunk Sanitary Sewer project dated January 1997 from HR Green is included. ** Please note the original plans for the 20th Avenue project showed that a watermain extension would be run from 20th Avenue west to 2Ist Avenue with the interconnection being at a point on 21st Avenue. This option was never exercised and the alternate to run a watermain extension from 20th Avenue west to 2Ist Avenue was not awarded due to cost and the reluctance of the landowner to indicate where the easement should be located. I also included the description of the interconnect and the handout from the public informational meeting that was held for the 20th Avenue Sewer and Water Extension project. I have left a message with the new Lino Lakes City Administrator expressing my desire to set up a meeting to discuss several common issues that our two Cities need to address. Please let me know immediately via e-mail if you have questions on this item or if additional information is desired.
