DISCUSSION REGARDING EROSION OF HILL BEHIND SKYWOO➢ MALL:
Mayor Liebl said that this problem has been brought to the attention of the
Council by Mr. Steve Kantorowicz, 5200 Taylor Street. The City Manager reported
that the City Engineer, Director o£ Parks and Recreation, Mr. Sheldon Mortenson
� and himself had met on the site and secured Mr. Mortenson's agreement that he
would take the following corrective action:
l. Clear the laack area of the shopping center and the embankment of all
debris and litter.
2. Clean and repair the txoughs w$ich dixect the water to the bottom o£
the embankment.
3. He would use topsoil on the embankment in the southeast corner of the
property and seed the area. (The City would a11ow him to use some of
the topsoil and peat available £romthe area north of 79th Avenue where
the City is putting in utilities under Pro7ect #102).
4. In the areas where there are washouts, he will repair and peg some sod
to retard furthes erosion.
5. He will use the Boy Scout troop which has been meeting in the shopping
center free of charge to plant seedlings along the embankment for further
erosion control.
6. The area up to the toe o£ the embankment wi11 be mowed in a straight
line to give it a neater appearance
The City Managex continued that they hoped that this would cure some of the
ma7or problems zn the area
Mayor Liebl commented that this seemed to take care of two of the ma�or problems,
cleaning the troughs and solidifyang the topsoil and seedinq. Hopefully, this
would last £or awhile, but he felt the neople abutting the area should be willing
to work With Mr. Mortenson.
� Mr. Steve Kantorowa.cz, 5200 Taylor Street, wanted to know who was going to
maintain the embankment after the seed grew. It would become 7ust weeds.
Mayor Liebl said that he £elt the owners o£ the shopping center should take
care of their property and the people in the abutting areas should take care
of their own property.

PAGE 3
Mr. Kantorowicz asked what was going to be done about the property he had �
already lost. The Crty Manager cocmnented that he had checked the area around
Mr. Kantorowicz' property and he hadn't seen any great amount of erosion.
Councilman Utter added that he had been to the site with the Engineering
Assistant last week and found Mr. Kantorowicz's stake in the corner of his
sod. Mr. Kantorowicz said that was not his stake. His stake should be on
the other side of the telephone pole. His lot should measure 120' X 120' and
it no longer does.
Councilman Utter said that it might be possible £or the Engineering Department
to Pind Mr. Kantorowicz's back corner stakes. Mr. Mortenson will put in black
dirt and level out the area. It will be a good 7ob. Ae continued that he had
talked to the City Weed Inspector trying to figure a way to mow 'the embankment
but it is too steep for equipment and would take too many man hours to cut by
hand. He and Mr. Barnett will continue to work on the problem and see i£ they
cannot get the area cut at least once this summer. Mr. Lie£ Henriksen asked
why the City could not use a£lame thrower on the weeds. Councilman Utter
explained that would burn out all the vegetation and make the erosion problem
worse.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to concur with the recommendation5 of the Adminis-
tration in regards to the erosion problem behind Skywood Mall Shopping Center.
Seconded by Councilman Mrttelstadt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
REPORT ON PROGRESS OF EASEMENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH MR. TILLER, 1535 GA.RDENA �
AVENUE:
The City Engineer told the Council that the deed had been £iled at Anoka
County and Mr. Tiller had accepted a check £rom the City in the amount of
$1500.
MOTION by Councilman Mi'ttelstadt to ratify the purchase of the 10 £oot street
and utility easement £rom Mr. Sailey A. Tiller £or the amount of $1,500.00.
Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor I,iebl
declared the motion carried unanimously.
REPORT ON WARMING HOUSES:
The Crty Manager explained that this item goes back to the March 6, 1972
Council Meeta.ng when the Council rejected a bid from Capp Homes £or a mobile
warming house because it did not meet specifications. At that time Paul Brown,
Director of Parks and Recreation, was asked to contact Cliff Industries of
Elkhart, Indiana £or a quotation on a 10' X 36' mobile warming house similar
to the warming house we have already purchased from this company. We received
a quotation of $3,047 including freight. With a small transPer of money
within the Park Department budget, it would be possible to purchase two of these
wasming houses which we had originally budgeted Par. The reason for utilizing
mobile warming houses rather than permanent houses is the relatively low
square foot cost of these vehicles. Secondly, they can be used on property �
which the City is leasing for park purposes. With proper care they hold up
very well.
� ��
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 1, 1972 PAGE 4
� The Director of Parks and Recreation added that he had been asked at the last
meeting to check with other communities concerning cost comparison figures for
permanent structures. He showed the Council pictures and plans for some
buildings in Brooklyn Center, New Hope and Columba.a Heights. Brooklyn Center
recently bmlt six identical units in their town at a cost o£ $15,000 each for
a 25' X 25' bua.lding. The City of New Hope uses one basic design with th�-ee
different sizes and £loor plans. The prices o£ the three units are: $18,000,
$22,000 and $35,000.
Mayor Liebl asked if it would be possible for the City to purchase permanent
structures without a bond issue. The Director of Parks and Recreation said it
ma.ght be conceivable but very doubt£ul. That would be a cost of £rom $70,000
to $90,000 for two or three buildings.
Mayor Liebl asked about the li£e span of the mobile units and i£ the one we
already own had su£fered any great vandalism. The Director of Parks and Rec-
reation answered that with proper care they would probably last from 10 - 15
years. The only vandalism we have is on the outside of a unit. The unit the
City owns now was custom built with heaviex doors and windows.
Councilman Utter asked where they would put the mobile units. Mr. Brown ans-
wered that they would probahly be placed in Meadowland, at the Burlington
Northern leas�l property or possibly at Logan Park_ This would depend on the
concentrata.on of people.
� The City Manager commented that these should not �ust be looked at as warming
houses. Especially in the case of a permanent structure, these would be
utilized year round for inside and outside activities and for storage. Mr.
Brown added that with well structured buildings the City would be able to open
some of their park facilities at night.
Councilman Mittelstadt suggested that the mobile units could be used in the
summer to tour the different parks or neighborhoods where there are no parks.
He felt that leaving them in one spot all of the time was asking for vandalism.
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt �o concur with the Administration's recom-
mendation and authorize the City Manager to purchase two 10' X 34' mobile
warming houses from Cliff Industries at a cost not to exceed $6200. Seconded
by Councilman Breider. IIpon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING APPEAL OF LAWSUIT TO SUPREME CDURT� CITY OF FRIDLEY VS.
VILLAGE OF SPRING LAKE PARK,STORM DRAINAGE:
MOTION by Councilman Breider to table this rtem until Mr. Wyman Smith appears
at the Meeting. Seconded by Councilman Mrttelstadt. Upon a voice vote, all
ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING PETITION #4-1972 - REQUESTING BUSINESS TRUCKS SE REMOVED
� N1rs. Dee Anderson, 5873 7th Street N.E., presented the Council with two
affidava.ts showing that her business trucks had not been parked at her residence
for 45 days.

PAGE 5
MOTION by Councilman Mittelstadt to receive the a£fidavits. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl read the petition to the audience. Mrs. Anderson commented that
the only people who had been affected by the parking whose names she recog-
nized on the petition were the Pattersons. Her garage would have b2ocked the
view to the people behind her property. Her a£fidavits showed that for the past
45 days their employees had been paying rent to park the trucks at Fridley DX
Service Station and Sunnyside Mobile Home Park, Inc. They do have a small
camper which they keep in their driveway but it is smaller �than most campers
you see. She agreed that the Patterson's had had a legitimate complaint, but
they had taken care of this as soon as possible. Al1 of their business is taken
care of by phone, no customers come to the house. The only time the trucks
are at the house are to pick up and deliver work orders. They received their
first complaint £rom the Police for parking on the street £or more than 24
hours. Then they were told that you could not park within 20 £eet o£ a cross-
walk. They immediately moved their trucks and now one of the petitioners
(Keeley) parks his car in this area. They would be very happy to move to a
business area iP they could afford it.
Mr. & Mrs. Gus Fetland, 5900 7th Street, stated that they have no objection to
the business and don't think it causes any problem in the neighborhood. They
live directly across from Mr. & Mrs. Anderson.
Mr. Dick Dulong, 5836 Washington Street N.E., said that he had been to the
Police to see i£ there was an ordiannce to get all industrial trucks off the
street. He was not �ust aoncerned with these people but all other trucks too.
A memUer of the audience commented that he travels this street often and
these are �ust trucks not semi's and he does not see how they would bother
anyone.
Mrs. Frank Keeley, 5861 7th �reet N.E., said that the trucks had been
parked there for 5 years and she £elt that they were a danger to the children
of the neighborhood.
A meml�er of the audience commented that she had been awakened at all hours of
the night by the trucks and she £elt they should move to a business district.
Councilman Utter explained that he had received coinpZaa.nts from the people
in his ward about the trucks and had notified the Police and asked them to
check. He had driven by the house on Sunday morning and one o£ the trucks
was parked in front of the house. Mrs. Anderson explained that the truck had
been there for less than 5 minutes to drop off some work orders.
Councilman Breider said that he would like to wnsult with the Administration
before any decisa.on is made and find out exactly how the orciinance on parking
reads so that Mrs. Anderson could be advised of the rules. Mayor Liebl
suggested that the item be re£erred to the next Regular Council Meeting £or
discussion.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive Petition #4-1972. Seconded by
Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 1, 1972 PAGE 6
� DISCUSSION REGARDING MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO FILL THE UNEXP7.7tED TERM OF OFFICE
OF SECOND WARD COUNCILMAN:( On Agenda at Request o£ Mayor Frank Lieb1)
r�
RESOLUTION #59-1972 - DECLARING A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF COUNCILMAN
SECOND WI3RD:
Mayor Liebl explained that thexe had been a vac�.ncy in the Ward Two Council-
man's seat since April 1, 1972 and as Chairman of the Ca.ty Cauncil he felt it
was his duty to give the people in Ward 2 representation. He would like the
City Council to agree on a candidate to take the seat until this £all when
he would be up £or re-election for one year and then have to run again for a
full term. He had been shocked to read in the paper that one of-the Council-
men felt that it was impossible far the Council to agree on an appointment. He
£elt himsel£ that it would be a good idea to have a lady in the Second Ward
Councilman's chair as 50% o£ the votexs in Fridley are women. He had dLS-
cussed this with many people and £elt that the politics of the Second Ward were
£airly conservative. Mr. Sheridan had been Councilman for 13 years and Mr.
Kelshaw, although he caucused with the Repubiicans was an independent in his
decisions on the Council. Mayor Liebl offered the following names for con-
sideration as Second Ward Councilman:
1. Oliver R. Erickson - Chairman of the Planning Commission £or many years and
has devoted thousands o£ hours for the good o£ the City.
� 2. Walt Starwalt - Resident o.f Fridley £or 12 years. Said he would file £or
re-election.
3. Jacqueline Johnson - Member of the Industrial Development Commission and
the League of Women Voters.
The Mayor continued that he could vote for any of these three pe�ple. Ide had
asked them all their opinion on the Cable TV question and was told that i�hey
would make no co�nitments. This was good, he would not want a"yes" man on the
Council. There are rezoning actions coming be£ore the Council soon that would
a££ect the Second Ward. They deserve representation.
Councilman Utter said that he would like to add four names to the list of
people to be cansidered by the Council:
1. Kenneth Krantz - Resident of Fridley for a number of years, President of
the Lion's Club.
2. Douglas 011ila - Resident o£ Fridley and school instructor.
3. Ray Mondloh - On Fridley School Board.
4. Robert Astrup - Active in Eridley•
Mayor Liebl asked what Mr. Astrup had done to give him the qualifications to be
appointed to the Council. He felt that Oliyer Erickson had more qualifications
than anyone sitting on the Council now. Councilman Utter answered that he had
talked to Mr. Astrup on the phone and feels that he is capable
Conncilman Breider said that he did not £eel that a person had to have served
� on Commissions to qualify for the Council. xe felt that being a resident of
Fridley and having interest in the �ob were more important. The voters had
shown this. We are talking about representation of the people and yet
recently the Council turned down a petition to give the people the right to
vote on Cable TV. If an order comes back Prom the District Court to accept
� �i
++� Y
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY l� 1972
PAGE 7
the petition the ma7ority of the Council will have to decide and that �
ma�ority could be one elected official and two appointed officials.
Mayor Liebl commented that before the election he had come to every Council
Meeting £or 18 months to acquaint himself with the intricacies of the Council.
He had never stated that he was against the referendum, but wanted the Court
to state if the petitions were valid. If the Court decides that the petitions
are valid we will have a rePerendum. Mayor Liebl continued that he had not
looked at the people's political background when he had decided on his
nominees and had not chosen them because he felt they would vote with him on
CATV. He simply felt that these people could be of bene£it to the people
of the Second Ward.
Councilman Breider asked if the District Court declared the peta.tions valid,
would Mayor Liebl go along with that decision? Mayor Liebl replied that he
would if the Court said so.
Councilman Mittelstadt added that he thought it was important that the person
appointed had experience in this case because there was such a short time
before the new election. Oliver Erickson is a good man and knows what he is
doing. In 2 months the person appointed is going to have to run fos re-
election for 1 year , then next year, run for a three year term. This will be
a great hardship on anyone. He would not ob�ect to anyone who would accept
the commitment o£ time to the Council and the hardship o.f campaigning.
Mr. Don Cisar, 540 Cheri Circle, stated that he was a resident of the Second ,
4.ard and strongly urged that the Council appoint someone, a lady would be
fine.
Mr. Bob Pierce, 609 Bennett Drive, stated that there were some rezoning matters
coming before the Planning Commission this week and they would soon be before
the Council. A Ward Councilman represents his ward constituents in these
matters and it would be nice to have someone to represent them. Oliver
Erickson would be the best and most experienced man. Walt Starwalt was also
a good man. He did not know the lady.
Mr. Henry Peterson, 6312 Pierce Street, said that the Council should quit
playing CATV, a.t has nothing to do with the matter. He did not care if a lady
or a man was named, but the Second Ward needs a representative. Mr. Erickson
is a good man.
Councilman Utter commented that he felt this matter should have been dis-
cussed before the Council Meeting. There should have been Executive sessions
o£ the Council. He did not know about the item until he saw it on the Agenda.
Mayor Liebl answered that anything that had to be discussed could be ciiscussed
in front of the people. He would have no secret meetings as long as he was
Chairman o£ the Gouncil. Councilman Utter replied that he had not asked £or
a secret meeting.
Mr. Sames Gibson, 6289 Highway #65, said that this was not the time or place ,
to wash da.rty linen. As a resident of the Second Ward he £elt that any of
the thxee people Mayor Liebl had mentioned were good people. It was placing a
severe burden on them to have to run £or election twice in one year. He
suggested that the Council recess £or 10 minutes, come to an agreement and
make the appointment tonight.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY l, 1972

� Councilman Mittelstadt commented that he did not feel that the Council should
make a positive statement that any candidate has to rerun. If they want to
file in August, it should be up to them.
Mayor Liebl stated that the reason he was so anxious to appoint someone is
because it is the Ward Councilman's duty to see that ha.s Ward is represented.
Also, there is no Mayor Pro Tem and he has to attend all of the committee
meetings that Mr. Kelshaw had been appointed to. The Mayor continued that he
wished the Court would make the CATV decision so that the Council could forget
it. The Council should not be split by one issue - the person appointed for
the rest of this year shauld be someone who can add to the Chair because of
experience. Oliver Erickson would do a good �ob. Mayor Liebl added that he
£elt that it was his duty to bring tha.s sub�ect to the Council's attention and
he felt the Councilmen should make up their minds according to their con-
sciences by the next meeting. It does not matter whether the person is a
Republican or a Democrat, but he should have experience because there isn't
much time.
Councilman Breider replied that he agreed that it was the Mayor's responsi-
bility to bring this to the attention of the Council and he agreed with Mr.
Peterson's comments. The Councilmen should contact people a.n the ward and
get their views and two weeks should be a fair amount o£ time to make an
intelligent decision.
� MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution ,�59-1972 declaring a vacancy
in the ofPice o£ Councilman Ward Two and table the appointment to the May 15,
1972 Counail Meeting. Seconded by Councilman Utter Upon a voice vote, all
ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carra.ed unanimously.
REQUEST FOR CITY WUNCIL TO PLACE ON A FUTURE AGENDA A SLIDE SHOW� "THE TALE
OF TWO CREEKS". REQUESTED BY LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF FRIDL�Y:
Councilman Breider asked the length of the slide show and was told it was
30 minutes.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the letter from the League of Women
Voters and set the date £or the showing of the slide show, "The Tale of Two
Creeks", as June 12, 1972. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote,
all ayes, Mayor LieHl declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING APPEAL OF LAWSUIT TO SIIPREME COURT� CITY OF FRIDLEY VS.
VILLAGE OF SPRING LAKE PARK, STORM DRAINAGE.
This item had been delayed until Mr. Wyman Smith could appear at the Council
Meeting.
Mr. Smith reminded the Council that they had decided several months ago that
he should Pa.le a Notice of Appeal and order a transcript. This had been done
and the transcript had been dela.vered. He had reread the transcript today and
� f'elt good about it. He £elt '�'e have a novel question and ihe Court misconstrued
our ob�ection. We had tried 'to get the Court to consider that 5pring Lake
Park's pipe is a 56" pipe and the M.H.D. pipe under University Avenue is a 60"
pipe so we have to start with a 60" pipe to get the water to �the Mississippi
River. We had to pay for the extra sizing and are trying to get them to help
shaxe in the cost. Mr. Smith commented that he had talked to Charlie Howard, a
A f-I \ f

municipal law expert, and he feels we have a good chance. 2£ we win at the
Supreme Court level the case will go back to the District Court to set a
formula for payment. The total cost to the City should not exceed $3,OD0.
Mayor Liebl asked if Mr. Smith was saying that he recommended that the City
pursue the case to the Supreme Court and Mr. Smith answered yes and the City
Attorney concurred. The City Council then ordered Wyman Smith to pursue
the case to the Supreme Court.

The Crty Manager explained that the City had received two bids, one from Dick's
Towing Service and one from Shorty's Towing 5ervice. There were several cata-
gories and in all except 2 cases, Shorty's was lower or the same. The Pur-
chasing Agent has analyzed �the bids and submitted his report. His recom-
mendation was to award the bid to Shorty's Towing Service and the City
Manager concurred.
Mayor Liebl asked if the City had received any complaints about Shorty's
service? The City Manager replied that he had checked with the Chie£ of
Police and there had been no complaints.
Mayor Liebl asked if it was necessary to let the bid every year. This seems
to be a good bid and wouldn't it be a benefit to the citizens to award the
the contract for more than one year as long as Shorty's would guarantee to
continue his good service? Councilman Utter asked if Shoxty would be willing
to hold the rates for two years and Shorty replied that his rates had been the
same for the past four years. He felt it would be an advantage to him to
have a two year contract and he would continue his same good service.
The City Attorney explained that the bid could be let £or more than one year
as long as a one year contract was not speci£ically stated in the bid specifi-
cations. The contract does not have to be bid at all, but if it is the City
must al�ide by the low bidder requirement.

RECES5:
Mayor Liebl called a recess at 9:45 P.M. The Meeting was reconvened at
10:00 P.M.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING WMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1972:
APPROVAL OF PRELIMTNARY TOWNAOUSE PLAN P'OR ROB�RT L. MCGREGOR The North
824.7 Feet of the west quarter o£ the northeast quarter o£ the northeast
quarter, Secti�n 13.
The City Engineer reported that the Planning Commission had recommended Pre-
liminary Plan approval and that Mr. McGregor be granted permission to start
construction of the north cluster of 8 units along 69th Avenue.
Mayor Liebl agreed with the recommendation but he had two questions, would
Mr. McGregor be willing to put sand £loat finish on all exposed block and was
he agreeable to the $500 figure set ior the the park fund? The City Engineer
commented that the Park Department was not sure that the $500 figure would be
su£.ficient and it might have to be ad�usted.
Mr. McGregor stated that he had already agreed to the sand £loat £inish on the
blocks but he would not agree to pay any more than $500 for the walkway and
� he wanted a£irm Pigure set now so that he could finalize his construction
costs. The Condominium Association would maintain all the land and he hoped
to have construction £inished within two years.
Mayor Liebl mentioned that he wanted to be sure that Mr. McGregor was going to
complete his plan exactly as shown on the preliminary plans and not be coming
back before the Council in 6 months asking to make changes that would lower
the quality of the pro�ect.
Mr. McGregor explained that �ust because he got preliminary approval did not
mean that he was going �o go ahead with the pro�ect. He sti11 had to make sure
that it was economically £easible, but once he began the pro7ect, it would be
completed as his plans showed. He would not begin the 8 units until he was
sure the whole pro7ect was feasible.
Councilman Breider asked if there were any garages. Mr. McGregor answered that
there was a garage and carport for every townhouse. This gave every unit 2
off street parking areas plus the garage. They do not want people parking on
the street and there will be a time allotment for any parking done on the
street. The Association will police it. He also mentioned that he was not in
£avor o£ putting concrete curbs on the internal streets because o£ the cost,
but he would do it.
The pond will drain into the storm sewer which drains into the Rice Creek
area and this will be controlled drainage. They do not want water from the
lawns draina.ng into the pond because the fertilizers and other chemicals can
cause algae growth in the pond. They will fill the pond themselves. There
� .Cd J

is exterior lighting about every 50 feet and these will beoperated eithex with
an electric eye or by a time switch. All of the power lines and telephone
lines are underground.
The City Engineer made the comment that these are preliminary plans and there
are many items which have to be resolved be£ore any building permits are
issued.
MOTION Uy Councilman Mittelstadt to concur with the Planning Commission
recommendation to approve the preliminary townhouse �lan for Robert MdGregor

could become a subcommittee oP the Planning Commission by ordinance.
Mayor Liebl read the motion of the Planning Commissa.on £or the benefit of Mr.
Winston Jacobson, 121 79th Way, who is the chairman of the group, and asked i£
he understood and agreed with the motion. Mr. Jacobsan asked if this meant
the members would be appointed by the Council. Councilman Mittelstadt commented
that he felt rt would be better for the commlttee to present a list of names
to the Council for them to choose £rom. Mr. Jacobson answered that the com-
IRlttee would �terview people and then present the Council with a list of
possible candidates for the Environmental Quality Commission.
The City Manager commented that the Council had directed his office to secure
comments £rom the sta£f and other community organizations concerning the
advisability of creating this commission. He had an appointment with the City
Attorney to review the comments this week. The City Attorney agreed that it
would be a good idea to wait for this other input.
MOTION by Councilman Mrttelstadt to receive the recommendation from the
Planning Commission concerning the Environmental Quality Commission and table
the item until the May 15, 1972 hYeeting to a11ow £or the Crty Manager to pull
together all input from other community organizations. Seconded by Councilman
Breider. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
�,,, animous ly.
LOOPBACKS.
The City Engineer explained that the suggestion o£ the Planning Commission was
that all access £rom the main thorough£are be discouraged; however, if access
onto the main street is considered it should be allowed only at 150 £eet or
2/3 of the lot width from the ma�or intersection. This would limrt access on
the main soad to one. The other would have to be fmm the side street.

REQIIEST FOR SEWER HOOKUP BY MR. QUAM: (6895 Channel Road N.E.)
The City Engineer explained that this line was too shallow when it was laid.
These people were assessed. We had a similar case on East River Road and the
Council at that time authorized an expenditure for sewage ejector pumps for the
home.
Mayor Liebl commented that he felt this was only a temporary solution and we
needed a permanent one. The sewer was faultily installed in the £irst place
and we are asking £or problems installing an e7ector pump in each home. City
money should be spent on a permanent solution.
Councilman Utter asked what the cost of a new lift station would be, and the
City Engineer said the cost could go as much as $20,000. The cost for the
six sewer e�ector pumps would be from $9,000 to $11,000. We would then get a
waiver Promthe property owners sayinq the City was not responsible for any
£uture problems. The City would be investing 3 to 4 times as much money as
these people were assessed.
Mayor Liebl asked if this would not be wasting money on a temporary solution.
The City Engineer answered that the e7ector pumps would be a move in the
direction of a permanent solution.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to table this item until the Meeting oP May 8,
1972 to enable the City Engineer to give the Council a cost comparison of the
two solutions. Seconded by Councilman Utter. IIpon a voice vote, all ayes,
