Chair Ficek indicated he did not have a chance to review around all of the schools <br />but one was highlighted along the eastside of Lexington and another one is on the <br />eastside of Hamline to Roselawn. He thought this would be a priority for kids to <br />get to their schools. <br />Mr. Freihammer reviewed a few areas around the schools where pathways will be <br />added. <br />Chair Ficek thanked Mr. Freihammer for the presentation. <br />7. Water and Sewer Service Lateral Discussion <br />Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer presented information regarding the <br />Water and Sewer Service Laterals. He noted staff discussed ownership, issues with <br />maintenance, types of maintenance/replacement options, and how the City helps <br />residents with these issues. <br />Chair Ficek indicated there is a benefit to the homeowner in getting the inspection <br />done. He wondered if there is a general benefit to the City as well in reducing the <br />Inflow and Infiltration (I&I). <br />Mr. Freihammer explained every bit of I&I that goes in is paid for on the overall <br />sewer bill to the City. The MET Council monitors the flow out of the City and <br />every drop of water that goes in the City pays for. <br />Member Cicha asked with the point of sale inspections, is it typically immediately <br />for anyone who sells their house. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained according to the Ordinance a person has to prove that <br />an inspection was done which is shared with the City and a determination is done. <br />This can be set up a couple of different ways. <br />The Commission discussed sewer line inspections, video of sewer scoping and <br />replacements. <br />Mr. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 Victoria Street, explained he was not in favor of point <br />of sale inspections. Another thing he wanted to caution the Commission on is that <br />there are some residents who have extraordinary long sewer lines, including his. <br />He reviewed the history of the area where his home is located and how much his <br />sewer line replacement would cost compared to the ordinary sewer line most <br />residents have. <br />Member Hodder asked what a better funding mechanism would be to make it work <br />for someone like Mr. Kysylyczyn. <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
