<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING - SANITARY SEWER INTERCEPTOR <br />HELD AT THE ELK RIVER HIGH SCHOOL <br />APRIL 27, 1981 <br /> <br />Members Present: Mayor Hinkle, Councilmembers Schuldt, Engstrom, Toth and <br />Duitsman <br /> <br />Mayor Hinkle addressed the audience with an opening statement regarding the growth <br />of the community, the desire for increased industry in the community and the need of <br />the sewer interceptor to accomodate the growth. Mayor Hinkle then asked Mr. Skip <br />McCombs of McCombs-Knutson, engineers for the project, to explain the project to <br />the public. <br /> <br />Mr. Skip McCombs indicated that in 1971 the Wastewater Treatment Plant was built <br />and the plans for the interceptor were included at that time. Mr. McCombs indicated <br />that the interceptor was not included in the grant, therefore the interceptor was <br />postponed. Mr. McCombs explained that grants have not been available and the project <br />has been in limbo until approximately a year ago; at that time the City Council <br />ordered a public hearing as they saw the need for the interceptor in the near future. <br />The City Council advised the City to proceed with a grant application to the Farmer's <br />Home Administration and to proceed with the project. Mr. McCombs indicated that <br />plans and specifications were completed and the project went out for bids with the <br />lowest bid approximately $200,000 less than proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. McCombs explained the area proposed as benefiting from the project and the cost <br />recovery methods for the project. <br /> <br />The public hearing was then opened to the public for their questions and comments. <br /> <br />The following people commented and questioned the project: <br /> <br />Anthony Gospodar, Breckenridge 218-643-5597, regarding property owned by the <br />Gospodar family southeast of the fairgrounds <br />Charles Dunn - 19110 Waco <br />John Lindlan - 13070 Islandview Drive <br />Mark Zieska - 19428 Irving Circle, Ridgewood 3rd Addn. <br />Doug Hodsen - 11965 191 Avenue N.W. <br />Don Brett - 14061 Highway 10 <br />Jerry Palmer - 13538 Islandview Drive <br />Pat Dwyer - 11960 N.W. 194 Circle, Ridgewood East 3rd <br />Doug Dill - 12891 Mississippi Road N.W., Orono Addition <br />Ray Doebler - 11822 190 Avenue N.W. <br />Dale Specht - 406 Main Street <br />Fred Pooler - 14305 191st Avenue N.W. <br />Cliff Lundburg - 112 Elk Hills Drive <br />Dan Lucas - 13346 Riverview Drive <br />Robert Thompson - 13296 192nd Avenue NW <br />Mike Dwyer - 19678 Proctor Road <br />Jim Johnson - 19205 Xerxes, Santwire Addition <br />Dick Pomeroy - 13936 189th Avenue N.W. <br />Joe Bickman - 18707 Highway 10 West <br />Jim Eggen - 11961 N.W. 194 Circle, Ridgewood East <br />Ross Little - 19340 Norfolk Street <br />Virgil Sonju - 18204 Albany Street <br />George Curtis - 17930 Naples <br />Joe Bistodeau - 14285 191st Avenue N.W. <br />Dave Gow - 11919 190th Circle N.W. <br />Bob Turcotte - 18184 Albany <br />
