use state. 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-

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.

3. Snowmobile Regulations - Ordinance (Adoption):"
a. 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:

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)

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

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.

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.

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,:

1. 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.

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 - - --

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.

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.
