<br />VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER PUBLIC HEARING <br />December 15, 1958 <br /> <br /> <br />A public hearing on sewer extensions was held at the village hall on December 15, 1958. All council <br />members were present. A delegation of those interested in the sewer extension and sewer plant were <br />also present. <br /> <br />Engineer Mills of Lindsey, Carter, and Associates was at the meeting to give necessary information <br />and advice. Mr. Mills explained the construction, operation, and estimated cost of the plant. There <br />were remarks also by Village Attorney John E. Mac Gibbon and Mr. Carter. <br /> <br />There were many questions asked regarding the extensions and what the lift would cost also cost of <br />going across the Elk River. <br /> <br />The general opinion seemed to be that the people representing the Meadowvale extension would <br />want sewer and water even if other sections did not. <br /> <br />Those across the bridge seemed to feel that they should not be required to stand the expense of the <br />lift station by themselves and that the village as a whole should assume part of the cost. <br /> <br />The Mayor asked for an expression of the council members regarding this question and it was the <br />unanimous opinion that the village should stand part of the cost of the lift station but how much <br />was not stated. <br /> <br />Two property owners south of the bridge stated that as far as their property is concerned, they <br />would be willing to abide by the judgement of the council. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Meyer and seconded by Briggs to sign contract with Lindsey, Carter, and <br />Associates for the Meadowvale extension for sewer and water subject to the approval of the Power <br />and Light Commission. Carried. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Bergerson and seconded by Kemper to go ahead with plans for the ewer <br />treatment plant. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />H.A. Briggs <br />Village Clerk <br />
