In our (Mayor Callahan and Hurr) discussion with <br />Mary Smith, it seems that they are eomh'rtable with....six months or mayl'ie a year. Mike <br />says it’s a minor amendment and once we agree to an acceptable timeframe, it could be <br />completed fairly quickly. Mr. Nettles would like to proceed with his connection and tlie <br />purchaser of the property we are tr\mg to sell would also like to proceed. <br />Mayor Callalian stated that he feels there would b** serious difficulties with the stormwater <br />plan. These concerns are contained m the Metropolitan Councils own draft of what they want <br />done. He warns that there will be problems down the road. However, with the new <br />information 1 lurr presented, it sounds as though the City would be involved in the problems <br />anyway. Would like to sugge.st that we direct staff to bring to budget meeting a resolution <br />draft to accomplish the substance of our discu.ssion tonight so that we can foi.mally adopt <br />necessary language for the application. <br />It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Hurr. to approxed the Alan Nettles Sewer <br />Connection subject to the above request of staff.
