The special use permit holder shall have prepared an engineer- ing drainage study of the site, indicating the methods to be used to ac- complish this condition and the Village Engineer shall review and make a determination that the report proposals will accomplish this objective and condition. The special use permit holder shall provide for siltation con- trol into the pond on the site; 5) Prior to any occupancy of any units in Buildings C or D, Londin Lane shall - 3 - 12/21 be improved as a Village public street in accordance with Village standards; 6) The permitted development shall provide a housing opportunity for low and moderate income persons, providing no less than ten percent or no more than twenty percent of all its approved dwelling units for low- moderate income families as defined by federal guidelines by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Such units shall be distributed as close to equally throughout each approved residential building as possible; 7) The special permit holder shall agree to enter into negotiated easements for public utility routes and areas that would need to cross through the site serving other adjacent areas; 8) The special permit use holder shall prepare a revised off - street parking arrangement and make design accomodations for bus stop facilities to pro- vide such service to the site.

Ayes - all. 2. Zone Change (F -R to B -C to M -1) - McKnight Road, Conway Avenue, Minnehaha Ave- nue and West of Carlton Street. a. Mayor Axdahl stated that the item was heard on December 14th and tabled until this time for further written testimony. No additional testimony has been received. b. Councilman Greavu wished to clarify an article which appeared in the paper about the $13,750,000.00 for road construction. He believes that was taken out of a study made and the study indicated at that time the possibility of 24,000 employees at 3M, which has now been cut down to 16,000, so that would cut $10,000,000.00 off of the project. Some of the items already under the study have been taken care of eliminating the need for an interchange, so this would clarify that $13,750,000.00. c. Councilman Greavu moved to rezone from Farm Residential to M -1 with the Plannin¢ Commission's recommendations to exclude the 21 acres on McKnight Road Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - Councilmen Greavu, Haugan, Olmstead and Wiegert. Mayor Axdahl abstained. d. Councilman Greavu made the following statement: I have sat at this - 5 - 12/21 table for about seven years now with Mayor Axdahl and he was elected to vote to represent the people of the Village and I realize that he is an employee of 3M and I have never seen him do anything dishonest. He has sat up here and been accused of a conflict of interest and I have yet to have anyone prove it. I ask you again this time, either vote for the motion or vote against it. I respect you and we have disagreed on a lot of things, but I say that I respect you more if you vote either for the project or against it. I feel if anyone has a conflict of interest charge-, to stand up and be heard and do it in court or else sit down and shut up. That's all I have to say. e. Councilman Wiegert stated I pretty well have the same feeling and I would say further, that if there is a conflict of interest apparent there, I don't know how far it goes. My company sells items for 3M and we sell items to 3M and I suppose someone could say there is a conflict there. I think that same thing could be said of atleast another Councilman here. f. Councilman Haugan stated that he is in the same position. g. Councilman Greavu stated that he is in the position, also. h. Mayor Axdahl stated that in this instance he would still abstain. He made this decision long before recent newspapers. i. Councilman Wiegert then move recommendations on rezonine of t Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Motion failed. j.

Manager Miller stated that at the last meeting the Council placed on first reading the ordinance which is now being passed around. This is an amendment to Sub. 7 of Section 1215.030, which is our Snowmobile Regulations. He then read the ordinance. b. Councilman Greavu introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: - 6 - 12J21 ORDINANCE NO. 338 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MAPLEWOOD CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 1215.030 REGARDING SNOWMOBILES. It is hereby ordained by the Council of the Village of Maplewood as follows: Section 1. Section 1215.030, Subdivision 7 is hereby amended to read as follows: 1215.030 Subd. 7: After the hour of 10:00 P.M. on any day or before the hour: of 7:00 A.M. on any day except that in the County of Ramsey, Battle Creek Snowmobile area on Fridays and Saturdays until 12:00 Midnight. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect after passage and publication. Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Motion carried. 4. Clarification of Decisions Ayes - Mayor Axdahl, Councilmen Greavu, Olmstead and Wiegert. Nays - Councilman Haugan. a. Subdivision - Preliminary Plan (Tilsen's Maplewood Heights No. 8) 1. Manager Miller stated at the November 16th meeting Council approved a preliminary plat for Tilsen's Maplewood Heights No. 8; however, you did not specify in the approval which alternate was being adopted. Alternate F is recommended. It is felt that the park dedication area proposed in Alternate G would result in trespassing on private property to get to the neighborhood park facility. It is felt that the one lot entrance from the south does not provide adequate public access to the park from persons re- siding to the south of the park. The tape of the meeting reflects no de- cision on the part of the Council as to which alternate was desired by the Council. Mr. Tilsen believes that the Council accepted Alternate G. 2. Mr. Robert Tilsen stated that he felt that Council had accepted Alter- nate G. He feels that G is more acceptable and explained his reasons for feeling this way. 3. Councilman Greavu moved to table the matter for further information. Seconded by Councilman Olmstead. Ayes - all. b. Sagstetter - Planned Unit Development (Building Plans) 1. Manager Miller stated that the tape of Meeting of December 7, 1972, was confusing and he requested Council to clarify what action was taken. - 7 - 12/21 2, Council stated to clarify the motion, it should read: "The berm shall be as described on the plan ". 3. Mr. Sagstetter stated he had a request to make of Council. He re- quested to be allowed to obtain footing permits before January 1, 1973. He further stated if financing does not go through he will not construct the footings. 4. Councilman Greavu moved to approve Mr. Sagstetter's request to obtain footing permits. Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all. a. Subdivision Preliminary Plat - Tilsen's Maplewood Heights No. 8 (continued) 4. Following further discussion and review of records, Councilman Greavu moved that:the_Gouncil had intended.to aoorove alternate G. as submitted by Mr. Tilsen, when approval of the Preliminary Plat was given. Seconded by Councilman Olmstead. Ayes - Mayor Axdahl, Councilmen Greavu and Olmstead. Nays - Councilman Wiegert. Councilman Haugan abstained. Motion carried. Councilman Greavu excused himself from the meeting at 9:40 P.M. c. Housing and Redevelopment Authority - Planning Commission 1. Manager Miller stated the Planning Commission requests clarification on your referral to them of the subject of housing and redevelopment authorities. The matter was referred to the Commission at the time that the Council was exploring several 236 projects. The matter was also re- ferred to the Human Relations Commission. I would suggest that the Plan- ning Commission be instructed to table this matter until the report is submitted by the Human Relations Commission. At that time the HRC re- commendation can be reviewed by the Planning Commission and a report made by that Commission on the planning aspects of the HRC recommendation. 2. Councilman Haugan moved to table this matter until a report is sub- mitted by the Human Relations Commission. Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all. 5. Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan a. Manager Miller stated Council had received a copy of the "Comprehensive Sewage Works Plan - Phase II" prepared by Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates. It is recommended that the report be accepted. b. Mr. J. Thomas Kirk, representing Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Assoc - iates, reviewed Phase II of the Comprehensive Sewage Works Plan as well as well as Phase I, which had been previously presented. - 8 - 12/21 c. Councilman Wiegert introduced_ the following resolution and moved its adoption: 72 - 12 - 271 RESOLVED, THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA hereby accepts the Maplewood Comprehensive Sewage Works Plan as prepared by Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson & Associates, Inc. dated November, 1972, and directs that copies of the report be supplied to the appropriate commissions and agencies.

A public hearing date of January 18, 1973 is recommended. b. Village Engineer Collier presented additional comments on the feasibility study. c. Councilman Wiegert moved to encompass a 36`foot roadway, assessable street lighting, the acquisition of necessary drainage areas and an assessment area for drainage to be determined on the basis of immediate benefit for the Londin Lane Improvement project. Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all. d. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: 72- 12 -272 WHEREAS, the Village Engineer for the Village of Maplewood has been authorized and directed to prepare preliminary plans for the improvement of Londin Lane from McKnight Road to Lower Afton Road by construction of sanitary sewer, storm sewer and street improvements, and WHEREAS, the said Village Engineer has prepared the aforesaid preliminary plans for the improvement herein described: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINN- ESOTA, as follows: 1.

The services have been constructed and the project assessed. It is recommended that the supplemental agreement number one be adopted. b. Councilman Olmstead introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption- 72 -12 -273 WHEREAS: A. The Village Council of the Village of Maplewood has heretofore ordered made Improvement Project No. 68 -PAV -1 and has let a construction contract there- for pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. B. Said construction contract was awarded on a unit price basis for a total contract price of $13,540.20. C, It is necessary and expedient that said contract be modified so as to include additional units of work (designated as Improvement Project No. 68- PAV-1) at the same unit price at a cost of $888.10 which additional amount does not exceed 25% of the original contract price. D. Said additional units of work have heretofore been ordered made pur- suant to subdivision 1 (or subdivision 3) of M.S.A. Section 429.031. E. A Supplemental Agreement, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, has been presented to the Council for the purpose of effecting such modification.

Manager Miller stated the Metropolitan Council requests that its review time for the Plan for Maplewood be extended from December 24, 1972 to January 26, 1973. I refer the request to you without recommendation. - 12 - 12/21 b. Councilman Wiegert - politan Council statin and to Plan. We think it aooronriate at this time to call to too late for consideration, at our meeting of December 72 - 12 - 274 WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has prepared a revised Housing Guide; WHEREAS, said Revised Housing Guide Plan was considered at a public hear- ing by the Metropolitan Council on December 7, 1972; and WHEREAS, THE VILLAGE OF MAPLEWOOD received notice of said hearing along with a copy of proposed 78 page Housing Guide Plan, twelve calendar days in advance of the scheduled hearing; and WHEREAS, the transmitting letter accompanying the notice and Plan signed by the Metropolitan Council Chairman encouraged a response based upon a thorough consideration and reading of the Plan in its entirety; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Village Council of Maplewood hereby notifies the Metropolitan Council that: 1. Because of the short advance of official notice given about this Guide Chapter, the Village has not had sufficient time in which to review the Metropolitan Council's proposed Plan, nor to relate it to the Village Planning Commission's adopted Comprehensive Municipal Plan and its goals, objectives and policies on housing for the Village of Maplewood; 2. The Village Planning Commission realizes the significance of such Metropolitan Council proposal has upon the Village of Maplewood in terms of housing and that the Commission desires the opportunity to inform the Village Council how the Metropolitan Council proposal relates to the Village Planning Commission's adopted Comprehensive Plan; 3. The Village Planning Commission suggests that the subject of housing in the Village of Maplewood relates to issues concerning the Human Relations Commission and Park and Recreation Commission, that such Commissions should be consulted as to their specific concerns as the proposed Metropolitan Council Housing Plan and policies would relate to their Commission Plans and Policies for Maplewood concerning housing development in the Village. NOW, THEREFORE, THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD requests of the Metropolitan Council whether the comments suggested in the foregoing items 1, 2 and 3 would be of use to the Metropolitan Council, if they were to be completed and forwarded, and if so, what amount of time could be allowed for preparation of same. Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all. - 13 - 12/21 I. NEW BUSINESS 1. Sanitary Sewer - 1859 Arcade Street a. Manager Miller stated we have received a request from Nicholas Tedesco of 1859 Arcade Street. Mr. Tedesco's main problem appears to be that his sewer line was connected to a septic tank on his property in such a manner that it did not afford a continous drain system, but rather utilized an in- place septic system prior to rising to the overflow pipe and flowing into the public sewer. The Village apparently did inspect the sewer line for con- nection as contracted by the owner. Such a system is not in violation of the Village Code and the Village inspector could not be held liable for other parts of the system. In all probability, neither the inspector, the owner or the con- tractor were aware of the existing septic tank next to the home (at least three other septic tanks in normal locations were removed). All known instal- lations contracted for and inspected were in accordance with the existing Vil- lage ordinances. Therefore, the Village is not liable for any damages result- ing from the system which was connected in a manner which, although not con- sidered desirable, was not in violation of Village ordinances. It should also be remembered that the original sewer connection was made in 1961. Mr. Tedesco is requesting that the Village "(1) refund to him the sewer rental payments I have made for the past eleven years; (2) reimburse him for the $450.00 and also reimburse him for the estimated $300.00 required to complete the repairs." It is recommended that his request be denied because (1) Mr. Tedesco's property has been connected to the Village sewer system, (2) his connection did meet the Village Code requirements, (3) the Village did not create the situation and did not determine the method of hookup and (4) the time period which is involved and the interceeding death of the inspector makes it impossible to determine the actual circumstances in the original hookup. b. Mr. Tedesco commented on his request. c. Councilman Wiegert moved to refer the matter to staff. Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all. 2. Lot Divisions a. Manager Miller stated Herbert Harmon is requesting a lot division for a one and three quarters acre tract located at 2138 Arcade Street. He proposes to divide the tract into two single dwelling lots. The proposed parcels can be served with public water. If public water is installed on Arcade Street, an assessment problem will arise relative to such lots. Approval of the pro- posed lot division is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1) A property owner- Council written agreement outling the access situation; 2) A maximum of two lots for the division shall be allowed to use the common drive; 3) Both resulting lots shall use the common ingress- egress point to Arcade Street; 4) Lot 2 shall carry a building setback for all structures of ten feet from the south easement right -of -way line and be so recorded as a title condition; 5) The applicant shall agree to the above conditions in writing. - 14 - 12/21 b. Councilman Haugan moved to Manager Miller. Seconded by Councilman Olmstead. 3. Water Improvements - 1973 the request of Herbert bject to conditions pr Ayes - all. a. Manager Miller stated that Council has received reports from Kirkham and Michaels;, outlining :some priority areas for water and systems improvements, which proposals have been put forth in the supplement 2 in the report of Maplewood Water Systems. We feel these should go in and have been designed to serve either our own independent water system or that of St. Paul. We would request that we be authorized to prepare feasibility reports on the attached water system improvements for 1973. Area one (Central Area) and Area two (northwest of McKnight and Larpenteur) are projects which must be accomplished in 1973. Area three (north of North St. Paul) will result in the disconnection from the North St. Paul system and whether it is proceeded with or not will depend upon if it can be connected to the St. Paul system and /or an independent Maplewood system. Also in the financing of this project, we have met with both the con- sulting engineers and fiscal consultant, Juran & Moody.; as to how this could be accomplished. We do feel that by assessing for normal lines in these areas where they do pass and where there would be usage, the Village could get back approximately 30% of the monies which will allow the issuance of bonds. We have also been looking into a system such as the Denver System. This is a type of SAC charge system. We would ask the resolutions be passed calling for preliminary plans on these projects,: b.

Mayor Axdahl stated there was a letter from the State Department of Highways, submitted to the Metropolitan Council for its recommendations on State Highway Project File 15 -45. He then read the letter. (Upgrades Minnehaha Avenue and provides for missing ramp at I -694 Minnehaha Interchange). Councilman Wiegert moved to refer to staff and Planning Commission and if those comments are not back in time for the hearing, that the Metropolitan Connell be aware that our comments are in DreDaration. Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all. 2. Councilman Wiegert stated that there was a remark recorded in the paper on behalf of Oakdale that they felt that their Federal Revenue Sharing is probably not properly computed, because their subsidized housing was not taken into account. I was not aware that was a factor in the computation. If it is, I wonder if our extensive area of Mobile Homes as being low cost housing, were taken into account. If that is a factor, I would ask the staff to investigate that and see what could be done to revise our formula. Councilman Wiegert moi Mobile Homes constitute a that was considered.) Seconded by Councilman Haugan. not low figured. (The question is whether or not or low cost housing, rather, and whether Ayes - all.

L, PRESS DISCUSSION None. 19 IX111WWW ORYy 11:25 P.M. CCrk - 18 - 12/21 December 21, 1972 Regular Council Meeting: (Rough Draft) (Cliff Hamblin, St. Paul Water Department presentation)' Cliff Hamblin: The reason I am here tonight, at the invitation of Mr. Collier, the City Engineer, extended the invitation and I said I would be most happy to come out and meet with you gentlemen at any arranged time. I do have this prepared statement and a a a which I'll hand out to each and every one of you. I might say before I start with the presentation, I really didn't come out here to argue with a your consulting engineers, we may have difference of opinion, but I don't feel that I a a my prerogitive to argue with the reports they have submitted to you. So I will read our statement. (He then read the attached letter) Thank you very much, if there are any questions, I will try and answer them. I do not be want to get into debate with your consulting engineers, but I would /happy to answer questions. Wiegert: I have a series of about 8 questions here, with sub - questions, I don't know what you want to do about that, but a, maybe you could take one and then take somebody else's, like that. Mayor: Fine, go ahead. Wiegert: First, I think we ought to congradulate you on having been elected to president of the American Water Works Association. It makes it nice for us, too, you will be able to give an expert this close to home, they're supposed to be 100 miles away. Hamblin: Normally that is true. Wiegert: So, I hope you can be of some help to us, I would think that you would be able to determine from the two studies we have, that we do have, we are facings problem. We do have a decision to make. I would hope that you can help us on that respect. I don't think these questions are going to involve you in any dificulities as far as our consultant is concerned. I wonder if you have had a chance to look at these draft interim resource policies proposed for the Metropolitan Council, or maybe you were even part of creating it, I don't know. ?amblin: No. I was not a part of it, a I do have a copy of its -- Apparently we have not seen it and have not reviewed it, at all, in our office. Wiegert: O.K., Well, it was only out a I think on the 16th. Hamblin: They have not received it in our office 2 - Wiegert: I don't know if we received one, or if we had to go get one. Hamblin: No, we have not received a copy. Wiegert: The first, ah, part of it ah, seems to kind of forecast ah, the possibilities of a Metropolitan Water, ah, ah, supply of some sort. Ah, I don't know if you would agree with my reading of it, but I'm wondering if you, yourself, might invisage such a, a, thing to happen, I mean, we had to go that route to take care of the Metropolitan Sewage, I don't know if you invisage some sort of a Metropolitan Water Supply in the future, and if you do, who, or when that might occur within your thinking. Hamblin: To answer your question, dan'I visualize, yes you can visualize anything. Wiegert: Oh, yea. Hamblin: Ah, do I agree with it? No, I do not agree with it. Ah, the reasons I do not agree with it, there is an entirely different correlation between water and sewage disposal. Wiegert: Right, understood. Hamblin: With sewage disposal you have to get it to a place to get rid of it, you have to ,et rid of the affluence, fine. With water there is no problem, in the Metropolitan area, as you well know from your engineering study you can get water in Maplewood. Ah, water is available any place in the Metropolitan area, you can pump it up and down a hill, there is no particular problem. It's a matter of economics, really. As far as water supply is con- cerned, ah, there is many various systems throughout the Metropolitan Area. There are two large Metropolitan facilities, namely Minneapolis and St. Paul. Ah, both on the surface, "supply The only two in the Metropolitan area on the surface supply. And here, again, we both are supplying some of the suburban communities outside of the central city. Ah, I can see where nothing actually be accomplished, in my own view point, of consoladating a whole gra£ of ah of small or even large, water utilities into one overall management, I see no reason for it.' Wiegert: We sometimes see, um, some indication that ah, it may well be in the area of star see gazing, but we sometimes /reference to ah, aquaducts, for example, from the St. Croix or ah, Lake Superior, even, and ah even sometimes some proposal that maybe we go up and melt the 'rtic, I'm not sure. You wouldn't invisage any real application for us a, a, as far as we can see, up into the 2000's and beyond. - 3- Hamblin: In one of the lines, which was not actually typed into my prepared report to you, I did indecate there had been studies made into the future as far as supply. There is no question in which our lake supply of today, that is the raw supply coming into the terminal resevors is limited, we know.the limitation of this, and this the reason we actually went into the Mississippi back in 1925, to supplement the lake supply. We can also look into the future in which the Mississippi River supply is not going to be adequate for this area. Not only for our needs, but for the other communities, like Minneapolis, not only from a Munic- ipal standpoint, but other uses as well, for instance pollution on your sewage treatment ah, affulence, ah, ah, navigation, there is a lot interest involved. So, we can foresee the day when it's not going to be available not even in the Mississippi River. We did make studies, and our studies were to go to the St. Croix. We're not going to the St. Croix until it's absolutely necessary, because it's not economical to go there, until absolutely necessary. We can't afford to go there as long as the water is available for us in the Mississippi River. We don't feel that it's going to be our complete responsibility then, either, to go to the ;t. Croix, because other people are going to be in the same category and it may have to be a joint venture to go to the St. Croix to bring water into the Metropolitan Area. Wiegert: Well, I guess that's what I was really driving at, and you can anticipate such a thing as that. Hamblin: Yes. Wiegert: In which case there would be possibily ah, ah, an aquaduct and then that would be treated or untreated. Hamblin: It would have to be treated, you can't-- - Wiegert: For what's down there. Hamblin: In one place or the other. Wiegert: Well, I mean for what they're getting there, you have to - -- Hamblin: There's no - - -- supply in the United States, to my knowledge that can be utilized without treatment. 'fiegert: Yea, but I ah, guess what I was driving at was whether delivering it to a community would as teated or delivered to a community to then treat, let's say it would come to St. Paul and you would still run it through your plant. Hamblin: I would say it would all depend on who all is involved and ah, it could be acutally - 4 - anymore the amount of water to treat and ah, finished water which has to be reseparated or wasted, like in our situation today, we're not wasting any water, so it's really incidential if you want to treat it over in the St. Croix site or in some site in the Metropolitan Area. Wiegert: You say site. Hambin: Right. Wiegert: So, we are talking then ah, about, ah, when you say you are not going alone, and we could go it alone. Hamblin: - -- -when other people are involved, when you start allocating the water out of the Mississippi River---- - Wiegert: Right. So in a sense I guess we are talking about a Metropolitan Water Supply. Hamblin: Not necessarily. Wiegert: 'It would come over and it would be centerally treated, or did I, I didn't under- stand you. Axdahl: Well, it might be a joint venture or some kind, not necessarily Metropolitan. Wiegert: O.K. Some of the smaller communities could say, ah. Hamblin: You still have a ground supply here. Wiegert: Right, then further on, as long as we are on that subject now, let go of this if you like, ah, ah, the ah, again the interim of water policy is under availability it says: While total water resources are atill adequate, surface water supply may become inadequate. This just kind of follows what we have been talking about. Steps should be taken, to in- corporate uso!.of both surface and ground water, ah and couldn't you take this to indicate a rational for Maplewood then, in a sense protecting your water supply by going to the ground right away. Hamblin: No. Wiegert: O.K. Ah, -- Hamblin: - -- -other use beside Municipal Use as far as ground water is concerned. No. 1 ah, in our opinion would be industry and there's a lot of industry in this area that is using today, ground water. And I think we're asking allocation, and I'm not the one to allocate the ah, effective surface and ground water, but somebody will some day, probably on a state level. Wiegert: Well, I merely was looking at the alternatives and ah, as you indicate and I think - 5 - our report does, as well, the Mississippi may hot be a source for ah, ah, forever and ah, if we would possibily have to go to the St. Croix and at the same time we would deverse by maybe going to ground water and I thought /this is what we might be doing, if Maplewood were to go along and go to ground water it would, in a sense, conserve your supply- - Hamblin: I think I have to answer your question this way, ah, ground water is not - - - - - -- off the water, if you get the same quality, normally, because of the pumping cost involved. Even by going to the St. Croix River, we consider this a pretty high pumping head, which increases the cost, which is 300 foot head, to bring from the St. Croix to the St. Paul area. If you're drilling a well into the ground, the capacity of that well, normally, is limited and the depth you're gonna' pump from is even greater than 300 feet and it's going to have to be treated to have the same quality that we are producing today. Wiegert: As I indicated, I have others, too- - Hamblin: I think it's a matter of economics, really, and it's more economical if you'll- - most large cities throughout the world do not use well waters, they use surface water and .:here is a reason for it, it is a matter of economics. Wiegert: I guess, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I would think that perhaps in terms of volume of supply, ah, something other than ground water is feasibile, there must be a relationship to size of City and use of ground water for pumping water. Axdahl: Is there not a relationship in that most large cities have existed for a long period of time and ah, depended on ground water to start, is there any trend to a higher degree of pollution in ground water - surface water which, O.K., now it's cheaper to try to get that pollution out and still continue to use the surface water, rather than, perhaps, a well water of better purity. Hamblin: Well, I can't speak throughout the country, but in this particular area, I don't think we have too much ground water pollution. Axdahl: Except some adverse ah, drainage out of some facilities upstream, and so on. Hamblin: That could easily be corrected. liegert: txxxkkHxxNaxAx - -- responsible reservoirs down there- - Hamblin: The area is blessed with an abundent supply of underground water and in my opinion, an abundent supply of surface water, un - - -- surface water. In addtion to what we have been talking about, the day may come, it becomes a matter of economics and actually not only - 6 - economics, but ah, dire necessity. And this is reuse of water. And I'm sure we are going to findfind uses for ah, ah, reusing this water, maybe not for human consumption right off of the bat, but certainly for certain usesand this will come before ah, we have to get into to it in a direct recycle for human consumptinn. This is not too far off, as far as certain areas of the world are concerned today. Wiegert: Water resource policy perhaps recognizes that. Axdahl: Are there other questions? Is there any discussion? Wiegert: Can I go back to mine? Greavu: Did you say, Mr. Hamblin, that you made a study of Canada, getting water out of Canada, too? Hamblin: I beg your pardon. Greavu: I say, did you make a study of getting water out of Canada, too? Hamblin: Out of Canada? Greavu: Right. amblin: No, sir. No, sir, there were some real early studies, ah, made within ah, the Board of Water Commissioners of St. Paul, this goes back many, many years, in which they studied possibility of going into ah, Lake Milac and also Lake Superior. Most recently, they discounted both of those because of the closeness of the supply, the lesser pumping head and the quality is good in the St. Croix River. Especially looking into the future with the wilderness area that has now been created above the Taylor Falls area. This should be a real fine source of public water supply. And I might add, that under low flows on the St. Croix, you can believe this or not, there is more water available in the St. Croix than in the Mississippi River above the confluence above the Minnesota River and the Minnesota. The Mississippi and the Minnesota. Axdahl: There is? Hamblin: Yea, there is a big volume there, that's in low flows. And that's the critical period. iegert: The Mississippi doesn't get to be a river until the St. Croix gets into it. Axdahl: Are there other questions? Mr. Wiegert. Wiegert: Um, referring again to the draft of the water policies, ah, that draft has been incedently referred by the Referral Committee to the Metropolitan Council, apparently as is. - 7 - Wiegert: Policy 36, ah, reports to encourage design of water supply treatment and distribut- ion facilities adequate for or to all expansion to meet the estimated future needs atleast to the year 2000; atleast might be taken to mean a few years beyond 2000 and ah, yet in your letter of November 6th, you question the validity of projections, our projections to the year 2016 as being such a great time in the future, we might be arguing over 3 or 4 or ten years, I don't know. Ah, and I did not have your letter of December 7 -- Hamblin: We were not questioning your projections or the engineer's projections on the consumption, population and all of this, the only thing we questioned in the report is the validity of -- Wiegert: That is my question, what are the factors not considered, so go ahead. Hamblin: As far as the projections, as far as the anticipated consumption, ah, needs, we don't question this, ah, we do question, as I stipulated in this letter today, ah, we question the validity of projections as far as construction, operational, maintenance, in- come and debt retirement costs, for the next 30 some years. Aiegert: Apparently I didn't have this further refinment here at hand, but I wanted to ask you what those factors might be.and ah, I guess I would still need to have further detail on that, but I certainly wouldn't ask them of you, but it ah, ah, if there was any point worth, I say, further refinement- - Axdahl: It is my understanding that those projections were on a parallel ah, comparison. Wiegert: They were based on, I think, todays cost and figuring that anything that increased cost wise, also subject to the income and subject to ah, the same inflation, ah I can guess that that's the approach of the statement. So, I don't know of any other real valid way of ah, of ah, deciding what the cost might be in the year 2000 and whatever, but go on what we got today and figure all things will be equal and the same things would apply to any expansion, I would hazard, which mightc,be.pr6jected, altho it may not be that far for any St. Paul plan to be installed. Ah, a further question, then ah, you'll recall a year or so ago, maybe two years, ah, it would be two years, atleast, the Ramsey County League Water .late Study, which was to occur at about the same time as you people were studying your rates, ah, so ours was done in just a preliminary manner; and ah, we gave you a copy, I don't recall if you gave us a copy or not, ah, at the League, of your study, but I have seen it, at any rate, however, ..... - 8 - Hamblin: It was submitted to some communities, but I don!:t know if you requested it or not. Wiegert: No, I think at the Ramsey County League- - Hamblin: They got a copy, yes sir. Wiegert: But':I wasn't a part of their committee so, I ah, have no copies of anything, that study indicated that your wholesale rate structure to be ah, comparitively high nationally as opposed to your retail structure, which appears to be quite in line without arguing whether thaOs true or not. Do you see any possibility of your wholesale rate being revised, which then might alter to a degree atleast, our wholesale approach and its ah, ah, evaluation in the ah, ah Kirk and Michael study? Revision meaning revision downard, ofcourse. Hamblin: I, ah, can not at the present time forsee any revision of the present retail, Wiegert: Wholesale. Hamblin: You're not on wholesale. Wiegert: I know it. Hamblin: Ok. idiegert: As I say, that was a projected alternate, there were a number of considerations, if there were a, ah, a wholesale rate downward, we might be able to reconsider that. Hamblin: There is another community that is arguing that our ah, retail rate for large consumers is too low in comparison to their rates. Wiegert: Yea, I didn't want to project into that because ah, ah, as I indicate, if the Ramsey County League indicated your retail rate was ah, ah, not only quite comparable nation- ally, but might be a little bit on the low side and we shouldn't adivse you of that, Ha, I'm, I'm concerned about the whole sale rate. Hamblin: Ah, we don't forsee a, ah, revision of rates, ah, we have requests from one of our wholesale accounts right not to reconsider, but I can't speak for my Board, we will make a report, we've received some ah, information from this particular community, it will be our responsibility to report to Board, and what they do I can't ah, say, but the particular _. cnntract involved, started the same time approximately as your contract ah, but it has a thirty year life rather than a twenty. Wiegert: I think you recall from the report the added complications that we have for apparently getting into wholesale -- - 9 - Hamblin: I have to repeat again, I did bring it out in this presentation, to you, we have been, in the past,and present time, trying to be fair with all communities. We could have seventeen different rate structures, if we have seventeen different outside accounts, how- ever this was not the intent in the beginning and it is not our intent today. What we are trying to do, is be equitable with all of them on an equal basis. For instance- - Wiegert: You understand, that I'm not suggesting that -- be attached- - Hamblin: For instance, in your community- - Wiegert: or partisonly, but I'm questioning the possibility of any downward revision and wholesaling so that we might reconsider our, ah, ah, alternate. Hamblin: O.K. I see. No, I don't forsee it, but ah, anything is possible. We do have to make a report to our Board. The Board is the one that makes the final decision. Ah, getting - back to the various rates, in you own community, there is two different pressure areas, as you are well aware, into those in Maplewood. We could charge two different rates. We choose not to, ah, so it costs us more to get water into cettain areas in Maplewood than it does other areas. You don't probably see the difference, right out in the area too much, one side of the street to another where we do have the different pressure areas, but there is quite a difference in pumping costs from our station at McCarrons. So this could go on into all communities throughout the entire area which we are serving and we could have seventeen or many rate structures, but we don't feel that it is desirable, what we try to do is take all of our outside accounts on one type of contract and treat them all fairly. Wiegert: Yea, but the pressure difference and ah, result in difference in costs could well be true in the community of St. Paul, I would imagine. Hamblin:; That is true, yes sir. Wiegert: And, ah, which leads into my next question. Ah, you've indicated a retail rate, ah, I guess applying to outside communities, which approximately leave 35% of a sir charge over your St. Paul citizen retail rate, ah, um, could you explain-briefly what the purpose of that or what the usage of that rate is, Hamlin: Why are the rates outside the ah, City of St. Paul higher than they are in the City of St. Paul? Wiegert: To an extent, but what the usages of that rate ah, ah, funds are -- - 10 - Hamblin: Well, let's say that the funds all go into one ah till. No. 1. We do keep records ,on every community as to consumption and monies received ah, keep in mind that the ah, system ah, St. Paul system, which is owned by the Board of Water Commissioners, of the City &f St. Paul, which is a separate corporate - - -- of the City, ah, operates strictly on ah, the revenues from water and services provided. There is no tax monies that go into the mperation of the St. Paul facility. And actually, ah, the people the populace within the City of St. Paul become the stockholders of the utilities, the water utility company. Any bond issue the voters of the City of St. Paul are in essence the ones that are buying this bond issue, ah, the face behind the bond, we've never defaulted on a bond issue todate, we have been turned down on a bond issue do date, by the voters of the City of St. Paul. In reality, the rates to the people in the City of St. Paul are less than outside communities and the result is that they are getting a return on their investment by having a lower rate. The people on the outside are really in essence paying a return on investments, the people in the City of St. Paul are not paying a return, they are paying for the actual cost. Wiegert: I guess then that I still need to know ah, why it's done other than ah, as a return on an investment, are we considered to pay for capital equipment, for example, that perhaps the City of St. Paul people have previously paid for, inother words, is that rate to help us pay for some your plant- - Hamblin: That is correct. In other words, when we started serving some of the outside com- munities and they have grown considerably in the last few years, ah, um, there was a demand on the City of St. Paul to expand the facilities to take care of these needs and I point out two examples, the Village of Maplewood. Wiegert: Right, O.K., now we've got other needs, as you can- - Hamblin: - - -- behind that, as you well know, behind these couple of reservoirs. Wiegert: We have need for other reservoirs, can any of that money be used for that purpose? Hamblin: Not the money in the City of St. Paul, no sir. Wiegert: No, the money we are talking about being paid for outside the City of St. Paul Hamblin: No., sir. Wiegert: But, you already erected two towers in Maplewood, which you indicate were designed - 11 - primarily- - Hamblin: To a large degree, to a large degree. Wiegert: Oh! It says primarily. Hamblin: Primarily. Wiegert: to serve the Maplewood area. Hamblin: That is correct. Wiegert: Then we, should say need some more. Hamblin: Ok. Let me explain now, that the two facilities that I did mention in this com- munication, not only do serve Maplewood, but they serve portions of St. Paul. We can, and this has been legally ah, ah, handed down to us, we cannot spend our monies outside the City of St. Paul, if it's benefiting some other community and that community alone. Only can we spend our money if it's a joint benefit or if it's a benefit for the City of St. Paul. Wiegert: But, ah, I'm having difficulity I guess getting to that, around that 35% charge. Now, in that -- Hamblin: I don't know where you find that 35% charge. Wiegert: I approximated it a while ago, it's approximately 35% over you inside rate, but if you want to say 30 or 85, I don't care. In the St. Paul rate, itself, there is a part of the ah, rate which is considered to repay the water department for capital equipment to serve St. Paul. Hamblin: Let's say that from now on out, any capital improvements that went into the St. Paul Water System, would be primarily to serve outside needs. Wiegert: I guess what I was driving at there was the, we are paying a part of the capital St. Paul Water capital equipment in our rate, as are the citizens of St. Paul, and in addit- ion we are paying a 35% which I guess helps to take care of capital equipment, built to take care of Maplewood as well as St. Paul. Hamblin: Ah, yes. Wiegert: So that we have ah, sh, quite a bit there that we are paying for capital equipment in some sense of the - -- Hamblin: Actually, in reality what you are doing is paying a return on an investment that - 12 - Hamblin: St. Paul has provided. Wiegert: Ok, 1 Axdahl: If that be the case, then the ah, amount seems the disparity between the City of St. Paul and the suburbs, it seems to be -- Hamblin: Not is you analise our ah, ah financial statements. Axdahl: I realize- - Hamblin: Ah, when you consider it your are operating at no profit, to certain people, other people you are trying to operate and get a fair return, there is considerable difference. Axdahl: I agree, but there is also ah, a considerable difference in the capitol required for the treatment facility and the capital involved in all the distribution facilities. In otherewords, the trunks that come out from the various facilities to serve the outlying suburbs, versus the entire distribution facility in the City itself, I agree that `.'there are peripheral costs in terms of reservoirs and treatment of lakes and all this, pumping facil- ities. Hamblin: The facilities out on distribution system is true, do cost money. Axdahl: A great deal of money. A great deal of maintence money, also. Hamblin: Right. Even in the City of St. Paul, as far as distribution system is concerned, the customers pay for that over and above their water rates. Any main extension, they pay frontage tax assessment. Axdahl: Initially. Hamblin: Yes, sir! Axdahl: As do the suburbs. Hamblin: That's correct. establish our own Wiegert: Referring to your letter of November 6, if we chose to /supply, you have indicated there and also I guess on December 7, xxdxthe one you read tonight ah, I guess an unwilling- ness to ah, perhaps to entire into a short term contract to allow us to phase out of your system, indicateing, as well, that you have built a couple of towers, the Highwood and Hill- ..crest. ah, and those two in particular would be ones last to go if we were to go it alone and if you have ah, contributed capital funds to that and ah, I guess I, I would question why you would rather cut if off in 1977 than continue atleast to 81, which is the earliest that we anticipated getting there, and continue to amertise those expenses by rates return from -- - 13 - Hamblin: I tried to bring this out in my letter tonight. Ah, your engineer's report, actually put it in reverse to what we would desire to have. We could look forward to go as your engineers have pointed out to you in their method of transition. The reason we can't afford to go that way, we know, today, we're going to have to build more facilities for 3M company. Their projected needs are skyrocketing, in fact there is another 140 acres that is going to be developed shortly, I understand, Wiegert: That's if we rezone it. Hamblin: Ah, so if you rezone, and if they build, there's going to be impoovements that are going to have to be built into our system to take care of their needs, even before '77. We are going to have to start thinking about, we can't wait until the time comes, things don't happen over night and we don't want to be caught short, so we<feel that there is additional money that will have to spent to take care of this particular customer, and we wauld not choose to do that, if you've made up your mind that you are going to put in your own system, we choose that you take over this facility right then and there, we can save ourselves money, Wiegert: I guess what I was not considering was that you then start building additional plants, we have indicated our willingness to take over and I'm wondering why you wouldn't want to continue to operate and as I say, get return on the investment-- - Hamblin: It's possible, there's a possibility that we might be willing to talk to you and phase it out in a different way, in which your engineers have indicated. Wiegert: I see, O.K., because I was having difficulty in getting through my head if you had investment there why;° you didn't want any returns. Hamblin: We just don't want to put any more investment in there, with no return what so ever. > Wiegert: Ah, there was a comment by our consultants on your letter of November 6. Have you a copy of it? I don't have any specific questions, I just wondered. Hamblin: O.K. Wiegert: In your recently adopted rate increase, was ah, and I didn't get much of an explanation for that, other than that God gave us too much water this summer and we didn't have to use enough of yours, we didn't need to sprinkle as much, and I don't know if that was the correct interpretation from the newspaper or not. Ah, was there capital equipment - 14 - as well built into those rates, that rate increase, or- Hamblin: There was capital equipment built into those rates prior to the rate increase which i was three years ago, ah, the biggest reason for the increase, the necessity of increase, ah, ah, this year, was that our projection, which in the past held up pretty well for a five year period. We don't like to change rates any oftener that is absolutely necessary. How- ever, during the past three years, our payroll skyrocketed much more than it has in the past history, in fact, you will probably never believe it but, our payroll went up 30% over a three year period. Keeping in mind that the payroll is better than 50% of our budget, operating budget, you can see what happened, there was no way that we could continue to operate without an increase. The result was our Board went along with a one increase, it wasn't what we really need, there's no reserve for depriciation in our next year's budget we'll be working hand to mouth. As far as you're concerned, I do think that you people, I do really feel that you people aren't really protected by the Board of Water Commissioners on any rate increase. At the present time, three of the Board members are elected officials answering to the people of the City of St. Paul,�:two are citizen members. Taking, then, into consideration the ah, their constituants, ah, consumers of the City of St. Paul and any consideration or any deliberation that they do have. Wiegert: I had a number of questions- - Axdahl: Do you have others? Wiegert: - -that are on the rate increase, but I won't do those, I've got just one last one. Axdahl: one more? O.K. Wiegert: On this subject then I think that will do it. In your letter of November 20th ah, no our engineer sent you a letter on the 20th referring to a conversation with you on July 11th. in which you were alleged to have indicated the Village three choice of thread on fire hydrants. Your letter of November 24th does not refer to that conversation of July, was there some sort of misunderstanding as what might have been said? Hamblin: Ah, I don't recall the initial conversation and how detailed it was, ah, we did get a communication later ah, requesting ah, a decision on this and we have given that decision. We feel as long as we are maintaining the hydrants in the Village of Maplewood, we feel they have to uniform with our hydrants throughout the balance of our system. We can not afford to stopkau;rious ah, parts for various types of hydrants ah, um, or - 15 - modification of hydrants, let's put it that way. We feel that it would be ah, undesirable from the Village's standpoint to have ah, different types of threads. Certainly more economical to have an adapter on the ah, ah, fire engine than it is to wreck the hose connection than it is for every hydrant. Wiegert: Recognizing then the fire engines must come equiped with national standard thread, ofcourse, Hamblin: That is correct, yes sir. Right. Wiegert: Well, and ah, so we have the problem of adapting to your system no matter which end of the hose we are talking about we've got to adapt. Hamblin: That is correct, sir. Wiegert: And the, ofcourse, our departments, all three of them, that were here tonight are legally equiped with adapters, as I believe are the surrounding areas that come to our aid when necessary. Hamblin:; As are the ah, fire department in the City of St. Paul Wiegert: In fact, it would appear to be less confusing if we had hydrants of national standard thread'rather than what ever this is, a left hand thread or something like that, it isn't discribed. Hamblin: St. Paul standard, it's a left hand and it is a different thread, too. Wiegert: That ah, would cover what I found up to as late as 11 o'clock last night. Axdahl: You have covered quite a few of the problems. I do think that there is a ah, urgency for making some policy decisions with respect to the whole water supply situation. And ah, I presume from your ah, comments that these are generally the Board of Water Com- missioners' stands at this particular time, is that generally true? Hamblin: Yes, sir. Axdahl: And I'm wondering whether or not ah, at some time in the reasonably near future, the Council should be attempting to get together with the ah, Board of Water Commissioners of the City of St. Paul to try to arrive at a resolution to some of the policies that have to go into -- Wiegert: I would say this is very much in order, yes, since ah, ah, a lot of what we have talked about tonight has been, Mr. Hamblin indicates, is within the realm of the Board itself. - 16 - Axdahl: Ya. Wiegert: And ah, it would appear that it.,would be a meeting of some value. Axdahl: I would think that ah, before the Council "decides to go one way or another on its own,isupply of water, that ah, - - -- Wiegert:-- there's a number of questions which need resolving. Axdahl: I do think that there are a number of questions which have to be resolved, perhaps before that kind of a meeting. I don't think we can set a time, perhaps some time in the fmture we should consider getting together with them. Wiegert: I would like to have that as soon as possible, I think because ah, we are running out of time, as are you, if we are going to stay with you, you've got things to do. Hamblin: That is correct. Ah, gentlemen, if you do want to meet with the Board, I can arrange this for you, ah the Board meets ah, ah, normally once a month, ah, if they know in advance there's a possibility of setting up a special Board meeting. Wiegert: Is it, would it be ah, ah, quite complicated let's say for us to try to meet on their meeting date, or are they pretty well- - Hamblin: They are pretty well booked with their agenda and ah, - -- Wiegert: Right, I was just thinking of their convenience. This is all. Hamblin: I would think, in your particular case, if you ah, do want to meet with them at ah, it should be a special meeting. Wiegert: Fine. Axdahl: Any other questions or comments? If not, thank you for coming. Hamblin: Thank you - - -- CLIFFORD W. HALABLIN s :ozai Managor ,4ss?, igeonr6l Msnago; CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA BOARD OF W/\TER COMMISSIONERS LEONARD W.

The Honorable Mayor, pester G.- Axdahl, and Members of the Village Council Maplewood, Minnesota Gentlemen: Be: Water Supply Service between the Village of Maplewood and the Saint Paul board of Water Commissioners ROY W. HOVER Supf. of Distribution Vd. J. MEUWISSEP! Supt. of Water Supply DISTRIBUTION The City of Saint Paul. Board of Water Commissioners has for many years` been most cooperative with the Village of Maplemood in fur,aishi.ng water to its inhabitants. The history of such service dates baik to the year 1921, at which time the Board of Water Commissioners furnished service to the individual customer under direct agreement with the individual owners, however, some ten (ICS; yeas ago in order to pro- tect all parties involved it was felt desirable to enter into an .Agreement between the Village of Maplewood and the Board of Water Commissioners and such an Agreement was entered into on March 341962. The provisions provided in this Agreement, which is uni- form as to the conditions with other outside retail village agreements, Stipulates what the Board of Water Commissioners will provide in service and the conditions thereto; also, the obligations of the Village and the cone Sumer as a result of the Agreement between the Board and the.Village. In addition to the above conditions in the Contract Agree - meet, it should.be pointed cut that there is an Escalation Clause within the Agreement which is for the protection of the Village; in that, the Board of Water Commissioners cannot increase the rates to the Village without first increasing the rates to the consuaners within the City of Saint Feel. The Honorable Mayor, Lester G. A -dahl, and Members of the Village Council - Maplewood, Minnesota -2 -. December 7, 1572 It should also be pointed out that the terms of the present Agreement entered into in 1962 has a term of twenty (20) years; however, it may be canceled at the end of fifteen (15) years by either party, if notice is given to the other party during the bath year. All -in -all, we feel that the Contract Agreement now in effect was mutually agreed upon and fair to both parities. Other co;aiaaities under similar agreements have not indicated any dissatisfaction nor has there been any cancellations. It should be pointed out that the Board of Water Commissioners is most proud of the quality of the product that they are providing for their consumers. Iie City always has and at the present time is not only meeting but exceeding the Standards as established by the United States Public Health Service and the recommended Standards of the American Water Works Association, which exceed the minimum Standards of the U.S.P.H.S. not only is the Board most proud of the quality product: produced, but is also most proud of the plant and property which is necessary to produce this quality product. It is believed that the supply system of the City of Saint Paul is probably one of the most dependable, flexible and of uniform quality of any surface supply. By this we do have a choice of Rice Creek Watershed waters and/or Mississippi River waters and with our terminal lake reservoirs have a storage reserve that is adequate for a long- exte-oded period of time. With these sources there is no guest %on but what we do have an ample supply to serve the needs of our system beyond the year 2000.. In addition thereto, we investigated means to insure an adequate supply beyond this date. It should be noted, it is unique that within our distribution system we have finished water storage of 123- Million; Gallons, which exceeds the maximum daily consumption to -date. The storage facilities have been de- signed and located in strategic locations to take care of particular areas and needs. It should be pointed out that two (2) facilities which have been built recently; namely, the Hillcrest Reservoir of 10- Million Gallon Capacity and the Highwood Reservoir of 5- Million Gallon Capacity both were designed primarily to serve the Maplewood Area. We want to thank Mr. Robert Collier, Director of Public Works in Maplewood; and the Consulting Pngineering Firm of Kirkham and Michael, in particular, Mr. James Wiley.,.Local Representative, for their cooperation in supplying us copies of the Reports pertaining to your Study on Slater Supply. We cannot argue too much with the first report submitted, as this was primarily a data-gathering and statistical report. In fact, we concur in the engineer's recommendation's that Alternate I, continuing with the present supply of Saint Paul is the least expensive plan of the Pour Alternates pre- sented and should be,in accordance with this report, adopted on the basis of capital costs considerations. However, upon receiving the Supplement I Report, The Honorable Mayor, Lester G. Axdahl, and Members of the Village Council - Maplewood, Minnesota -3- December 7, 1972 received on the 24th of October; and, upon reviewing the report in a meeting with Messrs. Collier and Wiley on the 30th of October, we cannot agree with the Supplemental Report and we refer you to our letter of November 6, 1972, addressed to Mr. Collier. The Report indicates that if the Village were to severe Con- tract relationships with the Board of Water Commissioners after 1977 that the Village would probably takeover the system on a piece -meal basis, this certainly is not acceptable to the Hoard of Water Commissioners; and, in addition thereto, the method of takeover would be completely in reverse of what should actually be done as far as the Board of Water Commissioners view - point is concerned. The.largest single consumer within the Village of Maplewood, the 3M Company, has required capital investments to take care of 'their needs. not only for the present time but for future demands as well; reference is made, again, to the two (2) facilities mentioned earlier; that of, the Hillcrest Reservoir and the Highwood Reservoir. In fact, our projections, as far as designing these facilities, have extended beyond even the 20 -year period of the present Contract. In essence, if the Village were to terminate the Contract A< eemen't with us as of 1977, we would expect the Agreement to be fully terminated and the Village to takeover the supply of all of their needs. We cannot afford to have a gradual decline in the Laplewood demand. This is said because it is anticipated that additional facilities will be needed to supply the 314 Properties between now and 1977: It would be a very poor investment on our part to be building for future consumption which would not materialize. It was also brouel;t out in the Report that should the Village of Maplewood decide to choose Alternate III C which was to supplement the City of Saint Paul service by a Maplewood groundwater supply and phase -out the City of Saint Paul's service, that the Board would be willing to collect a sur- charge on those customers being served by the City of Saint Paul and turn this money over to the Village for their use in developing the Alternate Well Water Supply. This was not our intent and would not be consummated; but, rather, what we pointed out was that if our system was to be extended into those areas not now being served, in which it was necessary to build pumping stations or elevated storage, that possibly this arrangement could be made with the Board. Under no circumstances would we put ourselves in the position of collecting monies from the customers we are serving to finance a Supplement Non- Compatible Water System. The Supplemental Report projected costs into the year 2016 in justifying a groundwater Maplewood system. The validity of such long -range projections is questioned as far as construction, operational, maintenance, income and debt retirement costs are concerned. 0 The Honorable Mayor, Lester G. Axd€ihl, and Members of the Village Council Maplewood, Minnesota -It -December 7, 1972 In summary, it should be reported that over the years' the relationship between the Village of Maplewood and the City of Saint Paul's Board of Water Commissioners has been good and it is only hoped and trusted that this relationship v1, %y continue. It has always been the policy of the Board of .la=ter Comissioners to maintain good relation- ships with the suburban communities. There has never been any intent to unjustly overcharge for these services; however, it certainly has been the intent to receive a fair return on the investments required to provide a service to outside communities. It has always been the desire and in- tent to treat. all outside co=rxaities . in a uniform and non - discriminate. meaner, . It is only trusted that the relationship between the Village of Maplewood and the City of Saint Paul's Board of dater Com- missioners caaa continue, not only for the duration of the present Con- tract, but hopefully extended for a period of time beyond 1982.
