We have meet with the Long Lake City Administrator and City Engineer regarding this project <br />and,the Fox Ridge project. The City of Long Lake had reviewed and approved this project as part <br />of Ae 1996 Musa expansion. The City has sent a letter regarding connection charges and <br />procedures for sewer billing. The City of Long Lake will require a $1,700 per unit connection fee <br />and will bill Orono for the actual metered flows. The Long Lake connection charge has been <br />included in the project assessment. <br />Of the eleven properties included in the project, four properties have conforming septic systems <br />and the owners have requested exclusion from the project. An additional property owner may <br />request exclusion if he can prove that his septic system is conforming. Summit Beach Park is one <br />of the properties in the project, and the City will need to cover the debt service for this property. <br />If this project is approved, the City will need to finance the debt service on either five or six <br />$13,900 assessments. This debt service cost will be approximately $8,900 per year for six <br />assessments. <br />It is staffs recommendation that the debt service on the opt-out properties be funded from the <br />Sewer Fund so that the general tax levy is not used to fund the project. <br />Our staff recommendation is that this sewer project is necessary because of the numerous failing <br />septic systems and extremely limited septic system replacement areas on these properties. The <br />proposed schedule for this project is for summer 2000 construction. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Conduct Public Hearing for the East Long Lake Sanitary Sewer project. <br />Motion to approve resolution ordering the preparation of plans and specifications for the East <br />Long Lake Sanitary Sewer Project.
