He asked If <br />the dam were to go out, who could be required to pay for <br />restoration. He asked that the Council further consider this <br />property with regards to setbacks and sewering. He stated the main <br />intent of the sewer project is to help clean up Lake Minnetonka and <br />wondered If the City couldn’t contribute more in light of this. <br />Mayor Peterson closed the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. <br />Jabbour asked if staff had looked into using CD6G funds to help <br />residents with lower income with the project. <br />Moorse explained that per Larry Blackstad, Coordinator of the <br />funds, there was potential to use some of that money and stated he <br />was to meet with Blackstad at the end of the week. <br />Mayor Peterson clarified that the money cannot be used to apply <br />towards the entire project. <br />Jabbour asked If the contingency could be divided and assigned to <br />specific areas, and If that area did not have any appeals, could <br />be refunded to those residents. <br />Qoetten stated that the money cannot be returned until the project <br />is completed. <br />Butler clarified that those In agreement with the project are <br />opposed to the Immediate hookup. She stated that deadline is set <br />by the Council but noted a date-certain would need to be <br />established. She did not care when that date was as long as it was <br />specified. Butler explained that when the project was bid, the <br />cost was determined. She said, “you do not go to the grocery store <br />and argue with the grocer over the price of a pound of butter". <br />The same principal applies to the sewer project. <br />Mayor Peterson and Jabbour agreed. Goetten said she agreed with <br />the philosophy but did not want the deadline date for connection <br />to be extended to 20 years and stated that the owner would need to <br />prove their septic system was working ♦o continue use. <br />Callahan felt that those In need of sewer should be required to <br />connect Immediately. He stated that staff should have the final <br />decision on whether a system is functioning and can continue to be <br />used. He noted that if a house Is sold, the owner should be <br />required to connect to sewer. He felt that 3-5 years for mandatory <br />hookup would be appropriate. <br />W <br />J
