R Resolution # 653 41 Page 2 5. The City must be granted a sixty day extension of time to allow for a detailed analysis of the interceptor, which analysis addresses itself to the concerns raised herein and set forth in the letters of December 4, and November 26, 1975, attached hereto. 6. The City still approves of the concept of removing effluent from Lake Minnetonka but must have additional time to review the final plans and specifications once they are filed and the proposed amendments to the environment assess- ment to determine if the interceptor is environmentally ac- ceptable to the City. 7. The City of Orono appreciates the recent staff as- sitance provided by the MWCC and the PCA and hopes that through immediate review and reaction by their staffs and the City staff and City Council that the questions which have been raised concerning this project may be answered satisfactorily and that the project or a project similar in nature may be implemented in the calendar year of 1976. 8. If there is any possibility of applying for Federal funds and holding those funds for the interceptor for at least ninety days until additional analysis and input can be com- pleted by the City, that the PCA take those steps necessary to realize those goals. 9. The City asks that the PCA or other agencies charged with the responsibility of abating and preventing pollution in the Lake Minnetonka area take those steps necessary to obtain funds to finance a complete study to be made by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District concerning the effect of urbanization on Lake Minnetonka and the surrounding watershed. The foregoing resolution was adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono on December 8, 1975, by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays. C` Robert L. Searles, Mayor Attest: Walter R.
