The Council Members were in support of <br />holding the meeting the first part of January, 1996. A date will be decided on for the <br />meeting at the next Council meeting. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />Gustafson had no report. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />( #8) SEWER INTERCEPTOR RECONVEYANCE AGREEMENT <br />Moorse reported that the Council had approved a conceptual agreement and parameters • <br />of the sewer interceptor reconvevance agreement last year. The areas and easements ;=Ur <br />the interceptor have now been all identified and are in final form for approval. <br />Callahan asked what the cost would be to the City to buy back the interceptor. Moorse <br />said the cost would be about $130,000. Moorse noted that the City originally built the <br />trunk line at a higher cost and made use of it before the MWCC took it over as an <br />interceptor because it served several cities. <br />Callahan questioned whether it couldn't be repurchased at a lower cost noting that the <br />Citv paid for the maioritv of its value and is now having to repav a portion of it. <br />Huff noted that the credits involved will amount to about $17,400 compared to $29,300 <br />previously. <br />Kelley asked how this would affect the sewer budget. Moorse said the repurchase is <br />reflected in the 1995 and 1996 budgets. Kelley asked why we should buy it back. <br />Moorse said it was needed as part of the City's sewer trunk system. <br />Gerhardson said Metro Waste has built a new interceptor and no longer needs the <br />interceptor. It only serves Orono at this time. Gerhardson noted that the new sewer line <br />built by Metro Waste received considerable assistance from Huff. <br />C7 <br />6 <br />
