Item 8.3 Handout <br />1. Tonight the City and Municipality are meeiing jointly to receive a presentation by city staff <br />on the op#ions they have been able to define which relate to bringing water and sewer to <br />the NE and NW porfiions of the city. This report and review has been fairly exhaustive <br />and it will be interesting to see the final results. The stafF is looking for council to give <br />direction on how to move forward. This process has been out of our hands, other then <br />receiving regular �apdates on the status. <br />2. Th� staff had previously suggested it would not be financialiy feasibie to get water service <br />to the site, but had �uggested a possible "Private commurtity v►rater syst�m" option for the <br />site as s�mething th�y would be wi�ling to stane� behind. So we spent the month of <br />December having our engineers complete a desktop study on the viability of a community <br />water sys#em for the project area. That report came back last week. We ha�e spent <br />t�uite a bit of time now with the engineers dessecting tt�e report and looking for next st�ps. <br />3. 4ur current plan is to take the design of the project a�d submit it through ou� engineers to <br />the DNR for their initial review. The DNR will do a fairly expansive study based an both <br />our findings and the current information that is in the state database. They wiil let us <br />know thoug�ts and concerns that would �elate to our ability #o ob#ain a permit for a wate�- <br />system. We pian on submitting the information for thi� stUdy in the nexfi fin►o <br />v�eeks. Current{y �e are needing a simple lay�uf of the �ite far the DNR to review afong <br />vNitl� our sfudy notes. ihe inteEesting news is that several ofi the wells on the site found <br />suitable waters in a gr�vel/sand vein above the f�llt. Simon layer. Th� flllt: Simon layer <br />has a moratorium on it for new wells, so finding a possible vvvaiter sglution above that is a <br />g�od ir�dicator. This is wrhat vve are going �o pursue with t3�e DNR ar�d will I�ok forward <br />to hearing fro� th�m after they revi�vv our proposai. <br />4. This proces� is oper�ir�g up lots of new inforrriation and also �i�in� us several hurdies to <br />cross a� �� corttinue to woric tawards finding a water/sewer sal�tion for the �it�. We <br />remain foc�sed on �e#ting a cfear underst�nding of the possibilities and fhe cost/f <br />Matt Barker, Comr�unity Manager <br />Capstone Hot��s <br />
