We didn't see that it would be forward thinking to load up the sewers when there's a way to avoid it, and go nertherly to where it ends up anyhow. In doing this, Alternate 1 (inaudible) two people that petitioned for it. They want the improvement. The cost is somewhere about $20,000, we would merely divide that cost, based on their previously agreed arrangement, of square footage of the parcels. They divide the cost and that's the way it would be paid for. If this happened, the city could make the improvement, spread it over 20 years, and we would pick up the mainten- ance. The second system, known as Alternative 3, would be to construct the same facility. The difference would be that the city would accept a portion of the expenses. The rationale behind this is that in 1970 when this entire area, including the Knights of Columbus and King's Court and Polar Food Locker, had storm sewers in the roadway and they were all assessed. We don't feel it would be fair to assess Polar again. Also, a large portion of Rosebrook Park flows in this general direction, and would be carried in these facilities. There's never been any assessment for that part for storm drainage, and since part of their water was being picked up as well, at least consideration might be given to the city paying a portion of these costs. So for the third alternative, we estimated as best we could how much water would come from each of the three parcels - the Knights of Columbus, King's Court, and off the park property, and based on the run-off of water we put together an estimate of proportioning the costs identically to the amount of water they would be con- tributing to the system. If my memory is right, this results in the Knights of Columbus and Roseville paying approximately the same amount of money, and the King's Court maybe three-quarters of that, or two-thirds. COUNCILMAN GRAUEL: I thought that was poor ground material and the three acres would just evaporate.
