We have meet with the Long Lake City Administrator and City Engineer regarding this project and the Fox Ridge project. The City of Long Lake had reviewed and approved this project as part of the 1996 MUSA expansion. The City has sent a letter concerning connection charges and procedures for sewer billing. The City of Long Lake will require a $1,700 per unit connection fee and will bill Orono for the actual metered flows. The Long Lake connection charge has been included in the project assessment. Of the eleven properties included in the project, four properties have conforming septic systems and the owners have requested exclusion from the project. An additional property owner may request exclusion if he can prove that his septic system is conforming. Summit Beach Park is one the properties in the project, and the City will need to cover the debt service for this property. If this project is approved the City will need to finance the debt service on either five or six $13,900 assessments. This debt service cost will be approximately $8,900 per year for six assessments. Our staff recommendation is that tliis sewer project is necessary because of the numerous failing septic systems and extremely limited septic system replacement areas on these properties. If the Council would like to move the project forward, the next step is to formally order and accept the feasibility study and then schedule a public hearing. The proposed date for the public hearing is for the regularly scheduled Council meeting on January 10th. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve resolution ordering the preparation of a feasibility study for the East Long Lake Sanitary Sewer Project. Motion to approve resolution accepting the feasibility study and scheduling a public hearing for the East Long Sanitary Sewer Project for 7:00 P.M. on January 10, 1999
