CONSIDERATSQN,�OF N.S.S.S.D. ACTION:
���Maypr Nee��announced�this was a copy of a resolui;ion and it had been placed on
' the agenda et�;the request of Councilman Johanson and Brook. He explained�
for the information of the Council, that this re�olution ox•ders the improve-
ment 8pd e't ithis point he couldn't advise the Council of the sjgnificance of
� thie. rM$. Nagel� member of the N.S.S.S.D., Fridley representative, Gi,ated he
wae undeT,tl�e,-gssumption that they had e meeting of the City Council at the
N.S.S.S.D,,oifice and'had gone over this finance plan referred to and beyond
tha� he understood that �ane Mann� Fiscal agent� had met with the City Manager
and the E'inance Director. He explained the reason he h¢d voted in favor of
this reeolut'ion wae that Fridley would save one-half million dollars on this.
�Couricilman Johaneon stated to Mr. Nagel that as a representative oF the City
of�Fridle,y and knowing the City Council had passed a resolution asking the
N'.S.S.&,:D'. dipt �p�iin eny,event� have any construction this year that knowing
this� Mr;,,Nagel had ignored the C3ty of Fridley. Mr. Nagel replied he had
done so O�i the basis of the new financing pro�ram. Councilnian Sohanson asked
what the cHarge would be,,from the N.S.S.S.D. to a home that hoolcs up a year
ffrom now� and was told there would be no charge. He further qucstioned cahat
I the charg�„would be three years,from now and Mr. Nagel repli�d iP the home
' had no syet�m Whataoever where they woqld have to connect into the system�
they woUld heve to,pay a sewer charge. Councllman Johanson stated th�t based
on the qvartGrly charges he would rather pa,y the �i100.00 hoakup cYiar�e because
over a period' of years FrZdley was goin� to pay a lot of' money.
MF. Nagel preaented an explanation of the sewex� cher�es to all of the suburbs
and stated ttiat Minneapolis under their system was char�5in€� the euburbs at
least dot7ble or more than double of what they charged their own People.

The Cit��Mena'�z raieed the ques�ion if tliis sewer line zaas so located on the
73rd right-oY'=uiay that this 24 foot wide �treet would be direct2y over it or
could it go to one side of it� that perhaps it could be located to ore side
an� o£f center it from directly over the line. Mr. Cpmstock :,tated it appeared
to,him �this�was of minor consequence� that iF they had to dlg up 20 or 30 feet,
it �+asti't a'major,thing but if they are talk�ng about replaein� tre entlre line
depending on ��he evidence� he felt that woiild decide the improvemcnt.
