CARL MOEN: REPRESENTATIVE OF DISTRICT 57A CONCEItNING THE METRO- POLITAN SEWER BILL: HOUSE NUMBER 335; Mr. Carl Moen, Representative of District 57A was present at the Council Meeting to report the status of the Metropolitan Sewer Bill. He said that he had attended a Metropolitan Urban A££airs �, p L�� REGUI,FIR COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 3, 1969 PAGE 5 Meeting tl�is morning, and at this meetiny the Metropolitan Council admitted that this bill is the o1d "buy out plan" only now they call it a rental plan. Under this plan the men on the Board would be appointive rather than elective officials. They would also have the riyht to levy ta,�es. He said that this bi11 would xesult in a complete give up o£ any se]�f determination and would give an appointive body much too much paaer. He said that the only recourse the people would have would be a public hearzng, but betore an appointive body, they would not be olaligated to act according to the people's wishes. He said that he £elt that this bill is very ad- verse to a7.1 the seven county metropolitan area. He said that he realized that there were problems to be solved, but that this bill is too high a price to pay for its resolution. Mayor Kirkham agreed and saa.d that he felt that it was a bad bill irom start to finish. Mr. Moen said that he had written to the Mayors of Spring Lake Park and Mounds View also to gain some support. He said that he would like to get this bi11 amended, or if possible stopped entirely. He said that the feeling in the Legislature is that this has been unresolved for too long already, and they want to take some action. He said that the bill has some powerful authors, which makes it all the more important to rally support to fiyht this bill. He said that he ielt that he had about 15 metropolitan representatives that did not like this biii, and th at he hoped to gain enough support to get it stopped. He added that in this bill there are no specific provisions for charges, but that they did give a formula which was the old "buy out plan". Councilman Harris commented that he had looked at the original bill, and felt that it was ironical that the rental of interceptors, when within the corporate limits of Minneapolis are called laterals, but when they get into Lhe outlying communzties, they are called inteceptors. Mr. Moen thanked the Council ior allcnaing him this time on what he considered a most impartant issue, and said that if there were any questions, to please feel tree to call him.
