much as 20% below the normal because of the low lake level, which influences the water table, this however could change within a year to two.) 11. When is the next meeting? It is anticipated that the next meeting will be within the next 2 to 3 months. In the meantime we suggest to you, if you have questions about your particular lot that you speak to Michael Ga Efron as he has diagrammed each of the lots, and discuss not only set backs as diagrammed but also comments such as soil conditions and slopes. (Some owners indicated that they would like the meeting as soon a possible in order to get this underway.) 12. What Federal or State monies are available for this project? There used to be monies available in the '60's rnd '70's but with the change in the Federal program these monies are no longer available from the Federal level. The City looked at this for the Crystal Bay project and were not able to get any across-the-board grants. (We forgot to mention that the City was able to get funds individually for people through the C.D.B.G. program, but those are no longer available either.) Today we are not aware of P.C.A. or Lake Minnetonka Conservation District mandating hookups in order to preserve the lake. To the extent that other people around the lake have paid for the cost of hooking up their own sewer it is prubably not expected that the L.M.C.D, would do a general assessment to help pay for the small area that is left. (Subsequent to the meeting Michael Gaffron has been in contact with P.C.A. to determine what, if ar,y, grants might be available to help fund this project. P.C.A. has funds available for septic system rehabilitation grants, but only for cities whose overall Citywide average income is below the state median. State median is $17,161. Orono's average income is $30,136. (all 1980 data), hence PCA has indicated Orono would nct qualify.)
