Mr. Forness reviewed a resolution to be adopted by the City Council awarding the bid to the lowest bidder and, thereby, authorizing and accepting the sale of the improvement bonds. COUNCILMAN TOTH MOVED APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION 0 6. Preliminary Sewer Study for Schoolview Addition and surrounding area Lyle Swanson, City engineer, was present. to review the preliminary sewer study for the City Council members and for residents present. Mr. Swanson reviewed briefly the proposed location of the sewer line designed to serve the Schoolview Addition, a new Junior High School and industrial park and reviewed the estimated costs for the proposed line. Several residents present asked if the project would be applicable to Ridgewood East Third Addition and were informed by the City engineer and City Council that at this time it was not anticipated to service Ridgewood Third with sanitary sewer, but if they wished to have the service, it could be provided. Other residents present from the Schoolview Addition asked about sewer hookup costs and the cost to provide sewer to currently unsewered areas in the Schoolview Addition. Mr. Swanson indicated that no hookup charges were included in the prices discussed and that an additional assessment to the prices discussed at the City Council meeting would be required for areas currently without sewer in the Schoolview Addition. Mr. Dick Gongoll, representing the Elk River Investors Association, indicated the industrial park was desperately in need of a center sewer system and that they fully supported the extension and expansion of this line. Mayor Madsen indicated that the next step in the process to determine if the line would actually be built would be discussed at the next City Council meeting. No further action was taken by the City Council at this time. 6J. Industrial Park Road Improvement Mr. John Oliver, representing the Elk River Investors Association, was present to review a problem being experienced with a road currently being built in the Elk River industrial park. Mr. Oliver indicated that the water main, installed by the City of Elk River, was, in fact, located at the wrong depth and, as such, the street grade as proposed in the industrial park would cause the water line to freeze. Mr. Oliver indicated that the Investors Association wished to have the City of Elk River insulate the water main so that the freezing problem would be avoided. Mr. Oliver also indicated that to avoid a potential problem with storm water run off on the proposed deaderd street that the last approximately 50 feet of blacktop would not be constructed and thereby, would allow storm water run off to seep into the existing class - 5 - 7. School Street Drainage Improvement Lyle Swanson, City engineer, reviewed the current plans for the School Street drainage improvement with the City Council. Mr. Swanson indicated that one culvert, several manholes and several hundred feet of pipe would be necessary in order to drain School Street in the vicinity of Central Lutheran Church. After reviewing the proposal and anticipated cost, it was the Council concensus . that an open ditch from School Street south into that area known as the Bog would be most practical- rather than a permanent storm sewer pipe.
