<br />. <br />City of ~ <br />Elk <br /> <br /> <br />Item # 5.6. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />November 20, 2 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Utilities Commission Update <br /> <br />Councilmember John Dietz is the City Council representative on the Elk <br />River Municipal Utilities Commission. At this November 20,2000, City <br />Council meeting, John is scheduled to provide the council with an update on <br />October and November Utilities activities. Attached for your review are the <br />draft minutes from the November 14, 2000, Utilities Commission meeting. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Utilities General Manager Bryan Adams has requested that the City Council <br />consider the locations being proposed by the Utilities for its well (plus <br />treatment building and backwash pond) and water tower. These facilities <br />were briefly discussed at the joint City Council and Utilities meeting on <br />September 25,2000. The Utilities desire to have the water tower project <br />move forward immediately and the well (plus treatment building and <br />backwash pond) will probably be a 2002 project. <br /> <br />The water tower site has been a topic of discussion at a number of recent <br />Park and Recreation Commission meetings. The final location being proposed <br />for the water tower is consistent with the recommendation from the Park and <br />Recreation Commission although it was not a unanimous recommendation. <br /> <br />It should be noted that at the September 25, 2000, joint meeting, the water <br />tower location that was discussed was in the northeast corner of Hillside <br />Park along County Road 12. The actual proposal before the Council on <br />November 20,2000, is for the tower to be located in the park in the Trott <br />Brook Farms development project. <br /> <br />. The desired location by the Utilities for the well (plus treatment facility and <br />backwash pond) is on the east side of the new Tyler Street on a remnant of <br />the George Dechenes property which the city purchased for the road <br />construction project. One of the conditions discussed with this request is that <br />the proposal would not adversely impact the "desirability" of the property in <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 490.
