Mr. Ehlers announced that after a complete check of the bids he recommends that the bids be awarded to John Nuveen & Co., Inc. He stated that the bid of 7ohn Nuveen & Co., Inc. re£lects the credit rating of the community which currently is BB, and that the bid further indicates a great deal of confidence in the community, Mr. Ehlers stated that current interest rates are at a�airly low level and he did not believe that interest rates would dxop any further and they might rise in the future, depending upon future economic conditions. Councilman Sheridan asked Mr. Ehlers why the great difference between the bids on bonds for the Civ�c Center and those for the Water Works. Mr. Ehlers answered that the higher interest rate on the Water Works bonds is due to the longer Yerm over which the bonds are issued. Mr. Ehlers presented three resolutions for 1=he Council to adopt for the purpose o� awarding the bids. The City Attorney stated that he had looked over the resolutions and found them to be in accordance with standard procedure. Mr. Ehlers stated that after passing the resolutions the Council needed only to pu1�lish the title ot the resol�.tions and not the entire resolutions, since the resolutions ate zather lengthy, NIr. Ehlers stated that the City would need to apply a tax levy to provide revenue for the initial payments of the Water Works Bonds until the revenue from service charges is suffLCient to reduce this tax levy, ��� � � �� RESOLUTION N0. 67-1965 - AWARDING THG SALE OF BOND ISSiTE FOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT SONDS TO JOIIN NUVE�N & COMPANY: Motion by Wright to adopt Resolution No. 67-1965.

RENAMING MERCllRY DRIVE, STARLITE DRIVE, AND SATELLITE LANE TO SATELLITE 7 A1VF - PETITION ��9-1965) : Mayor Nee explained that the renaming of this street was requested by the Fire Department in order to make it easier for Fire Departments from other cities (in case the assistance of other Fire Departments is required) to find addresses on thxs street. He stated that according to the map it appeared that the street had 3 different names within a two block length. The Mayor invited anyone present at the Council meeting to state their opinion concering the proposed name change. Mr, Ca�l Swenson of 201 Satellite Lane stated that he is the owner of a 10 family apartment building on Satellite Lane and that 9 families in the apartment building had a petition against changing the name of Satellite Lane. He stated that the name change would require these families to change the address on mortgages, insurance policies, and other legal documents. Another visitor to the Council meeting stated that his petition included three apartment buildings along this two block street. It contained signatures � from 27 families, and 50 names. Councilman Wright asked whether the citizens would ob�ect if the street had a name instead of a number (64th Avenue) for this two block length. Mr. Swenson stated that all the apartments are on Satellzte I,ane. Councilman Kirkham stated that many communities having named streets, list the numbers as well as the name on the street s�gns. Mr. Lappi, a property owner, stated that he was opposed to renaming the street. IIe stated that he had purchased his house for the sole reason that it was on a street which was named and not numbered. Mayor Nee inquired whether it would be satisfactory to the property owners to have the strest named Satellite Lane. The Mayor stated that in this two block stretch of streets, three lots are on Sta?lite I.ane, about 7 lots are on Mercury Drive and the remainder on Satellite Lane. The Mayor stated that he knew the trouble caused by street renaming since this had been done on his property without his consent. He said at the time he was not very happy with the change. Councilman Wright stated that a compromise groposal here might be to'name the entire two block street Satellite Lane. The City Manager stated that the City does nave markers showing the number on the.street sign as we11 as the street name. Councilman Wright asked Mr. Lappi if he had discussed the changing of the street name with anyone else on Mercury Drive, Mr. Lappi answered, "No," Mayor Nee asked whether anyone was present for the Mercury Drive addresses. No one replied. RCSOLUTION N0, 70-1965 - RENAMING TO SATEtLITE LANE THE STREET BETWEEN STARI,ITE BOULEVARD AND TIIE W�ST SERVICE ROAD OF T.H. i�47: � � Motion by Wright to adopt Resolutuion No. 70-196�5. Seconded by Thompson. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays the motion carried unanimously. Motion by Kirkham to authorize the administration to put the number 6400 on the new street signs for Sattelite Lane. Seconded by Sheridan. Upon a wice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried uriaimously. ��� CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE ORDER DELETING 58TH AVLNiT�, MADISON STREET AND MONAOE STREET - ST. 1965-1: Mayor Nee stated that the Council has received a petition to delete portions of Street Pro�ect ��1965-1. He stated that the Council now has estimates based on the bids that were iet for the project, and the Council feels these bids and new estimates are more satisfactory to the property owners along the streets, than were the previous estimates. The Council feels thae when the sewer is installed and the street is broken up, the condition of the street wi11 be unsatisfactory to the property owners. ' Mr. R. C. Nelson stated that he is a property owner living at 660 59th Avenue N. E. Mr. Nelson asked the Council to explain the plans for paving the streets. Councilman Sheridan stated that Street Pro�ect 1965-1 is planned to install a concrete curb and gutter, 36 foot width of paving with, a rolled, hot mix for the street surface, Councilman Sheridan stated that at present the black top on the streets is what is known in the construction trade as a P& H mix. Mr. Nelson asked what the final condition of the street will be if it is not paved, would it be as it is now, a P& H mix. Councilman Sheridan answered, "No," the condltion of the street if rt is not paved after construction of the sewer will be sand. The street with a swale section, at present is 39 feet wide, the new street surface would be 36 feet wide. The storm sewer catch basins wi11 be set in the swale section, if the concrete cuxh, gutter, and street paving is not installed. The Mayor stated that it is impossible for the City to mainta'�-n the P& H construetion. The streets under P& H construction are not permanent, they are not as durable as concrete, P& H constructions cannot be fivain- tained as we11 as they were in the past and after 5 or 6 years these streets will break up. The weather conditions this spring caused a great deal of street break up, there are many chuck hqles �n the streets, and the City has a great deal of expense to repair all these chuck holes. I3ence, the CiCy wi11 not be able to maintain all the P& H streets as we11 as it has in the past, The Mayor stated fuxther that the construction price of ST. 1965-1 is a good price, and that next year the residents will proUably want to have these streets paved. Councilman Sheridan stated that as the Mayor � had said the City has obtained an exceptionally good bid for construction of Street pro�ect 1965-1. The per front foot figure for these streets, $7.78. Mayor Nee stated that the present plans are to pave these streets with a 36 foot width whereas, the width at present is nearly 40 feet. Mr. Nelson asked whether it was the intention o£ the City to provide sodding for the section along the streets which would be broken up when the new paving was installed at a narrower width. The City Manager answered that the property own�r can sod this land cheaper than the City. Mr. Nelson asked when the sewex was installed in the street, would rt be in the middle of the street or on the side. The City Engineer answered that the sewer will Ue installed on the sides of streets, with a lateral to the sewer from each catch basin. Another property owner at the Council Meeting stated that when he called tte Finance Director's office to find out what costs where for the pro�ect he had received figures to the exact penny. He wished to know why he was given figures to the exact penny when these figures are only estimaCes. The Finance Director answered that the #igures were given to the property owners based on the estimates which the Finance Department has avaLlable to it. Mr. Manley, a property owner at 660 Marigold Terrace, asked the Council what the plans are for the rest of Donnay's Addition. The Mayor answexed that the Council hopes eventually to pave the entire area, Mr. Manley asked whether the construction and costs for the sewer included replacement of the street. Councilman Sheridan answered that paving construction is under a separate ' contract and that storm sewer construction includes 3/4ths of Donnay's Addition. Mayor Nee suggested to the property owners that the street could be constructed with a 30 foot width instead of a 36 foot width if the property owners desire to reduce the cost of construction. Mr. 01son, a property owner residing at 5740 Madison Street, stated that he thought the street would look rather funny if for 1/2 block of the street the swale section of 39 feet was left as it now is and for the other 1J2 block the street is only 30 feet wide wrth concrete curb and gutter. The City Manager and Che Mayor stated that it has been the experience of the City in the past that where the entire length of a street is not paved, the following year residents on tfie rest of the street want the remainder o£ the street paved. Councilman Sheridan stated that it has been the experience of the City that the costs of street con- struction increase 8% to 12% per year. He stated that for this reason the Council was not acting upon the petition to delete, iu¢nediately, but was �iving the property owners a chance to reconsider. ��� Mayor Nee asked if it would be possible for the Council to obtain some expression from the people present how many favor the construction. Mr. Nelson stated that he was in favor of paving tfie streets. Mr. Manley stated that he did not want a sand street in front of his home. He stated that although costs were more than he could afford at the present time he did not think that he could afford not to have the street paved and since the cost of paving the street would be higher in the future he wished to go on record as being in favor of the street construction. Mr. Arnold stated that he was in favor of the street construction, provided the street w�dth was changed to 30 feet. Mr. Benson stated that he was in favor of the street construction. Mr. Manley stated that he was in favor of the construction of ' a 30 foot street because it would give him a bigger 1ot. Mayor Nee asked the property owners whether they have any parking problems in the area. Mr. Manley answered, "No." Mayor Nee asked if any present were opposed to the construction. Mr. Marciniak stated that he is opposed to paving this portion of the street now because it does not include a11 of Donnay's Addition. He stated that since the paving does not include all of Donnay�s Addition it does not provide sufficient value to his property. Councilman Wright stated that the cost of paving construction could be spread over 10 years, that the cost for the first year would be 1/10 of the principal plus the interest at 6%. No one else at the Council meeting spoke against the construction. Mayor Nee advised the Council that no action was necessary since Street Pro�ect 1965-1 has already been approved. Councilman Sherzdan Stated that he had taZked to 6 or 8 other property owners along these streets and they generally thought the cost of constrnction was too high. He stated, however, that some of these people did not want a sand street and that the argument of lower construction costs this year, induced many people to favor this construction with some reluctance. Councilman Sheridan stated that most of the people living in this area have chzldren at the present time and school taxes and special assessments are quzte high, that when these children grow up many of them will own automo- biles and parking along a 30'foot street might become quite difficult, at � times. Councilman Sheridan stated that he would suggest that �hain arteries be paved to a 36 foot paving width and side streets at a 30 foot width, if this is the wish of the property owners. The City Manager explained the reasons why the administration recommends a 36 foot paving. He stated that the present streets are 39 feet wide and that they would appear quite small when built to a 30 foot width. He stated that' concrete curb and gutter defines the street width quite well, that snow on the streets crowds the streets and a 30 foot street becomes a one way street. A automobile proceeding up the street must pull off to the side and stop to let another automobile proceed in the opposite direction. When there is a slight rise in the street and packed snow on the street, it is difficult for the automobile which has stopped to get moving again. The City Manager stated that in the future families wi11 own two or more cars and some of these cars will have to park on the street. When people in the area throw a party, there wi11 be parking on both sides of the street making it quite difficult for people to drive on the 30 foot street. Mr. Manley stated that all the people in Donnay's Addition have room in their driveways to park an additional car and that it is safer for children if cars are all parked in driveways than if they are parked in the street. Councilman Kirkham pointed out that on a 30 foot street ihe �urb and gutter takes same of the width of the 30 foot street leaving a 29 foot driving surface, and if cars are parked on both sides, only 13 feet remains £or traffic on the street. Mayor Nee asked the property owners present at the Council meeting to indicate whether or not they wished to have a 36 foot street or a 30 £oot street. The ma�ority of the property � owners present indicated that they wished to have a 36 foot street, Motion by Thompson that the Councll let the original order of Street Pro�ect 1965-1 stand and not delete this portion of the construction from Street Pro�ect 1965-1. Seconded by Wright. Upon•a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. BIDS - CASII A�GISTER (OP�N NOON, MAY 3, 1965): The City Manager explained that the adminstration has received a bid from the National Cash Regzster Company, whose office is located at 2553 Wayzata B1vd. 1�3 The bid includes a provision that the �uarantee on the cash register may be exten�ed year by year upon payment of a fixed charge. Mayor Nee asked the City Manager how this bid �-,eLated to the previously quoted price. The City �anager stated that this bid is the same as the quoted price. Motian by KLrkham to receive the bid of the NatLOnal Cash Register and award the contract to the National Cash Register Company for the amount of the b1d. Seconded by Thompson. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. � COMMUNICATION: MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT: SP 0208-24, SP 0208-23, SP 0207-15: Mayor Nee stated that Mr. Robert Kurpius, a representative of the Minnesota Highway Depaxtment, is pxesent at the Council meeting and wished to have the Council depart from the regular agenda to consider his communication to the Council at this time. Mr. Kurpius stated that he would like to request the Council to approve several plans which had been sent to the Council meeting. He stated that the City Engineer has examined the plans and has approved them. The first group of plans describe the design £or construction of signals at 61st Avenue and T.H. ��47. The City Manager stated that the cost of these signals had not been included in the budget for 1965 and the cost could not be met until 1966, Mr. Kurpius stated that Minnesota Highway Department wi11 not bi11 the City for its share of the cost until January 1, 1966. The City's share of the cost will be Por construction of the signals plus 6`/, for inspection of the coristruction. The cost being $22,OOD.00 plus 6%. Mayor Nee asked what is the cost of power supply for the signals. The City Manager answered that the power supply is located nearby and that the cost of- extending power to the signals wi11 be minor. Councilman Wright asked Mr. Kurpius who would maintain the traffic actuators if they �am and who would pay for this maintenance. Mr. Kurpius answered that the Minnesota Highway Department will pay for a11 maintenance costs except those of relamping � the signals and cleaning and painting them. Councilman Wright asked who maintains the tra£fic signals at Mississippi Street and East River Road. The City Manager answered that the County pays for the cost of maintenance but on T.H. �k65 the City is billed for the cost of relamping the signals and maintaining the standards. The City Attorney asked Mr. Kvrpius whether the new policy of the Minnesota Highway Department paying for all costs of maintenance except relamping and painting the standards includes existing signals. Mr. Kurpius answered, "No." The City Engineer showed the plans to the Council. Mr. Kurpius stated that because schools are located on 61st Avenue, the City requested special signals for pedestrians, and the controller for tke signals includes special programing for push button operation of these signals at the pedestrian c��ssings, The City Engineer showed the plans of the Minnesota fIighway Department for construction of signasl at Mississippi Stre�t and T.H. #47. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Kurpius whether there was any possibility of obtaining a fire preempter in the control panel of the signal on Mississippi Street. Mr. Kurpius answered that providing such a device would be quite costly. The City Manager stated that this device could be an electronic device, Councilman Wright suggested that since the Fire Department is located quite near the intersection of Mississippi Street with T.H. d�47 that the Minnesota Highway Department might consider actuatLng the preempting device by wire from the dispatcher�s desk in the Police Department. Mr. Kurpius stated that he wondered whether such a preemptor device was not already included in the � design, but stated that he did not know whether it was or not. Councilman Wright asked Mr. Kurpius how large the boulevard will be to enable school children to stand on the boulevard while waiting for the signal light to change. Mr. Kurpius stated that the distance curb to curb on the boulevard is 12 feet. Councilman Wright asked Mr. k_urpius if the fire preemptor is not included in these plans for signal construction the City w111 have to furnish Lt at City expense. He stated that possible state troopers and the Highway Department might wish to use the preemptor, also. The Mayor asked Mr. Kurpius whether it would be possible for the lights to be turned flashing red. Mr. Kurpius answered that this would be possible only on one street at a time. The City Manager stated that the Council could direct the adminis- tration to find the cost of including the fixe preemptor in the control panel and if the cost is small, the Council could authorize Mr. Kurpius to install it, The Council could at this meeting authorize the administration to execute the agreement with the Minnesota Highway Department with a provision that the agreement not be exectued if the cost for a preemptor signal is high. 1�4 Councilman Wright stated that if the cost of the installation of the pre- emptor signal in the control panel is more than 10% of the present cost, the Council would wish to consider the cost. He asked Mr. Kurpius whether it is possible to obtain a Change Order includLng the preemptor signal in the control panel after the design is approved. Mr. Kurpius answered that this involves a design pzoblem, he would like to know before the agree- ment is approved whether or not the Council wished to have the fire preemptor included in the control pane1. Motion by Thompson to authorize the Mayor and the City Manager to execute agre�ment ��54649 with the Minnesota Highway Department on Wednesday, May 5, � 1965, unless in the discretion of the City Manager and the Mayor, it is necessary for the Council to consider the installation of the fire preemptor in the control panel, Whereupon the City Manager and the Mayor are directed to ca11 a special meeting of the Council. Seconded by Sheridan. �Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer showed the Council plans of the Minnesota Highway Department for construction of signals at the intersection of T.H. -0�65 wrth West Moore Lake Road. Mr. Kurpius explained that plans of the Minnesota Highway Depart- ment include bitumous paving and granding of streets at the intersection so that the signals wi11 be located properly for the construction of State Aid Roads at the intersection. The City Manager pointed out to Mr. Kurpius that West Moore Lake Road Ls a State Aid Road and signals on that intersection should be spaced for a 45 foot street. The City Engineer explained�that p�ving plans for the streets have been changed to provide for proper traffic pattern on Hackman Ave. The City Manager stated that as these plans were drawn it did not appear that the Minnesota Highway Department was going to extend paving from the service road on T.H. ��694 into the parking lot af a shopping center owned by Chet Herringer. The street will be in rather poor condition if this portion of it was not paved. Mr, Kurpius stated that he was surprised that the plans did not inclixde paving for this portion of the service drive and the entrance into the parking 1ot. Motion by Kirkham to return the plans to the Minnesota Highway Department for clarification of paving the service road and entrances into the parking lot � along T.H. #694.

SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE R�ZONING R-1 TO C-1 (SOUTHEAST CORNER - Coixncilman Sheridan stated that the Council has not received a recommendation from the Planning Consultant concerning rezoning of the property at the inter- section of Sth Street and Mississippi Street. He stated that until the Council does receive a recommendation from the planner it would be wise for the Council to table consideration of the second reading of this ordinance. Mr. Camp, who has an option to purchase property at this intersection, was present at the Council meeting. He asked the Council whether or not the Planner is doing a proper �ob since he is taking such a great deal of time before making a recommendation concerning this property. Councilman Wright answered that, in his opionion, the City would lack faith in the Planner if it did not allow him ample time to prepare his plans. He stated that the City has asked the Planning Consultant tor a comprehensive plan of the entire City, that lt � is impossible for the Planner to consider any piece of property individually, but that the property must be considered in view of the entire comprehensive plan. Mr. Camp stated that he had first applied for rezoning of this property in November of 1964. He stated that he expected to receive a decYsion long be=are this time, that he would be satisfied if the Council would refuse to pass an Ordinance rezoning the property.

He stated that he would rather have the Council refuse his request for rezoning then to have the delay which he has suffered since November of 1964. He stated that the appliration for rezoning has been approved by theBoard of Appeals, and his application for building has been approved by the Building Board, andhe can see no reason why the Council should not take some action upon his request. � � � 1�5 Councilman Sheridan told Mr. Camp that it wi11 be necessary for the Council to order a public hearing before approving his request for a Special Use Permit for a Nursing Home, and that it wi11 be to his aduantage to have the recommen- dation of the Planning Commission and the P1anni_ng Consultant approving his request. Councilman Wright stated that he knew of several property owners located in the area who were opposed to his reque�t for a Special Use Permit, Mr. Camp stated that he has talked to the pzoperty owners i�nediately ad�oin�ng his property and _fpund them not to be opposed to his request. He stated further that he has spent a great deal of time and money in having the plans for the Nursing Home drawn up and that he does not wish to wait any longer or spend anq more money until some action is taken upon his request. Councilman Wright stated that the City would have a great deal of trouhle if it were to approve his zequest for a Nursing Home because property owners of the surrounding property also wish to have their property rezoned in a similar manner in order to use the property for commercial purposes.

He stated that the Council has secured on�y two appraisals to this property and that Mrs. Riedel had an appraiser view the property and make a recommendation on the value of the property contemplated for condemnation by the City. He stated that Mrs. Riedel wished to avoid court litigations on the condemnation proceedings. With this in mind he had asked Mr. Rasmussen, an appraiser hired by Mrs. Riedel, to attend the Council meeting and would like to interview Mr. Rasmussen for the benefit of the Council. Mr. Maynard Rasmussen stated that he has be�n in the Real Estate business since 1947, ; that he is involved in the building of dwellings, has attended appraisal seminars at Macalester College run by the University of Minnesota, that he has worked as an appraiser for the Minnesota Highway Department and is qualified as an expert witness in the matter of appraisals for various courts.

The attorney asked Mr. Rasmussen how much time he had spent examining the property. Mr. Rasmussen said one and one half days. The attorney asked Mr. Rasmussen what his conclusions are of the value of the property based upon a square foot value. Mr. Rasmussen said that he had adopted the interim use theory of property value of developing land and that it is his conclusion that the street intersection should have a curved os'fset since this is best for the City. He estimates the value of this easement across this intersection is worth 65 cents per square foot. The City Attorney �ated that two reports show the City needs 8,000 square feet for the�r estimates, that Shaf£er�s had appraised the property at a price amounting to 28 cents per square foot and Harvey had appraised the property at a price amounting to 20 cents per square foot. Mayor Nee asked the attorney for Mrs. Riedel why he could not understand the obligation which the Council has to the City. Mr. Goggins answered that he � understood the obligations of the Council to the City perfectly. Mayor Nee told the attorney of Mrs. Riedel, "you are wasting our time."

The City does nof have the right-of-way easement for Fireside Drive nor does it have sanitary and stoy� sewer easements on this property, The representative of Mr. Brook stared that the developer-would give the City the easement The City P�ngineer stated that where the Cith has allowed private developers to design and install their own improvemeats, private developers owned the property on both sides of the streeC, but this developer owns land only on one side. The representative stated that he has checked with the property owner on the other side of the street a Mr Toberman and that Mr. Toberman agreed to having the developer place the improvements upo�i the sLreets. The City Engineer stated that the suggestion of the developer is the chepaest way of installing these improvements, that the City would not install ' them in this manner Councilman Sheridan asked the representative of Mr. Brook, if when this street was installed wi11 the improvements be paid for. The representative of Mr. Brook said, "Yes." Councilman Wright asked the representa- tia� of Mr. Bropk what about inspecting the construction.

He stated he had obtalned no results from his negotiations with the Oil Company and it looks as though the City will have to condemn the property in order to obtain the easement On the second piece of property the propertq owned by the Windorsky's the Council had authorized the purchase price of $9,000.00 for an easement on the property He stated that in negotia- � tions with the Windorsky's he had arrived at an agreement with them to trade the $192.00 worth of taxes which they had paid for the $55 00 of assessments due on the pxoperty.

It is a two bedroom house is furnished downstairs and has asphalt coated siding on the outside of the building. He stated that the Windorskys' had looked around for another residence which they might purchase and had not been able to find another residence for the price of the $9,000_00. He stated that the condition of the Windorsky's house is quite poor and he thought possibly the house might sell for as little as $9 500.00 He stated that the highest valuation the appraisers had put upon the property was $8300.00 that their appraisal was made on a square foot basis for the cost of replacement of the building. The price of $9 500.00 is equal to a Per square foot price of $12.50. Mr Harvey appraised the property at a price of $11,00 per square foot and Mr. Shaeffer at a price of S10 00 per square fooL fihe house is built upon a 40 foot lot. He stated that the cost of litigation to condemn the property would be in excess of $500.00 The City Attorney explained that during negotiations for the easement over the parcel which he designated as parcel ��6 in his report the Riedel property along 7th Street south of the intersection of 7th Street with Mississippi Street, the attorney for Mrs, Riedel pointed out that the City did not own an easment over the property on the West side of7th Street He stated that upon receiving this information he had added the easem�nt for this street as parcel �k7 in his report He stated that the cost of the easement would not � be very great since the City already has sewer and water easements He stated that the City has developed half of the street and plans show that the City has an easement on both sides of the street. Councilman Sheridan stated that the City originally intended to purchase an easement for the street as well as for the sewer and water and asked whether or not consideration had been given to Mrs Riedel for the sewer and water easement Councilman Wxight stated that he believed the position of the Windorsky's to be a good one and asked the City Attorney if it would be possible for L-he Council to give the Windarsky's $9 500.00 for their property The City Attorney said that it would be legal for the City to do so since this property is the home of the Windorsky's. �otion by Wright to adopt Resolution No. 72-1965.

Quam could drain the rest of his home except for the basement into the City Sewer and if he does not have a water closet in the basement he could purchase a sump pump for the price of $69.00 and drain the basement by pumping it into the City Sewer Councilman Kirkham stated that he believed Mr. Quam would like to connect to the City Sewer and would appreciate it if the Council would pay either the cost of connection to the City Sewer or prov7.de him with a sump pump to make connection. The City Engineer stated that if Mr. Quam has a water closet i in the basement of his home the cost of providing a sump pump for Mr Quam would be in the neighborhood of $500.00. The City Manager suggested the Council authorize the administration to draw an agi�eement with Mr Quam for the connection to the Ci y Sewer and draining of his basement into the City Sewer Councilman Wright suggested that if Mr Quam has a water closet in the basement of his home that the City could condemn the water closet as being unhes�lthy and provide the smaller and less expensive sump pump to dran his basement into the City Sewer. Councilman Wright asked the City Attorn�y whether or not �.ondemning the operation of a water closet in the basement of his home would be a violation of due process The City Attorney answere�d that it would Ue impossible to assess the property of Mr. Quam for impro�e- ments which he did not recei�e and that it would be necessary to apply the cost of the assessments to benefit the property or refund them. Councilman Sheridan stated that if the assessments against the property of Mr Quam were refunded or if he were gieen a rebate on the special assessments for sewer connection, Mr. Quam would probably want a rebate on all assessments for sanitary sewer during the last ten years Motion by Kirkham to table consideration oL sewer connections on Channel Road to the Regular Council Meeting of May 17 1965 Seconded by Sheridan.
