<br />r I ~'\( <br />( )! <br />t:lll River <br /> <br /> <br />- ')October 26, 1993 <br /> <br />INFORMATION <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Birrenkott <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities <br />322 King Avenue <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Bill, <br /> <br />As you know, there were several items on last night's Council <br />agenda which related to the Utilities. Although you were <br />present for discussion on some of the items, there were other <br />items discussed after you left of which you should be aware. <br />The following is a summary of the Council discussions which <br />involve the Municipal Utilities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />POLICY ON SEWER AND WATER STUB-INS <br /> <br />You were present for this discussion when the City Council <br />referred this item back to the Utilities Commission for <br />comment. <br /> <br />NORTHEAST AREA TRUNK WATER IMPROVEMENT <br /> <br />The Council adopted a resolution approving the plans and <br />specification and ordering the advertisement for bids for <br />the northeast area trunk water improvement. It is yet to <br />be determined how this will be financed. If proceeds are <br />available from the recent water revenue bond issue, those <br />could be used for this project. If not, the water utility <br />may want to consider other methods of financing this <br />project. <br /> <br />~ STORM SEWER FEES <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As we have discussed previously, the City is planning to <br />implement a city-wide storm sewer fee policy. It is <br />anticipated that charges will begin in 1994. There will <br />be a fee schedule outlining a per unit or per acre <br />charge. This charge will be added to the monthly utility <br />bill. In that regard, there are new customers who will <br />need to be added and software changes to your system may <br />need to be made in order to accommodate this additional <br />billing item. Please be prepared to begin billing for <br /> <br />P.O. Box 490 . 13065 Orono Parkway' Elk River, MN 55330 . (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
