• January 16, 1978 Telephone 473"7357 CYNdYof ORONO post Office Box 66 • Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 • Municipal Offices On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka Representative Robert L. Searles 575 North Ferndale Road Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 Subject: Metropolitan Council Dear Bob: In an attempt to keep you up to date on our dealings with the Metropolitan Council and the Waste Control Commission, I am enclosing a copy of a memo setting down the history of our dealings on the Orono -Long Lake interceptor, the Orono Compre- hensive Sewer Plan, and the Systems Statement from the Metropolitan Council'. The issue at hand is whether or not the City can successfully negotiate with the Metropolitan Council to define where the 2s U S A line shall pass through its own area. We have attempted in good faith for many months and just cannot seem to reach an agreement by negotiation. I think the most distressing thing to me is that on March 11, 1977, we did reach an agreement that was satisfactory to the. City and that after that date, the proposed Systems Statement and the review of our. Comprehensive Sewer Plan were amended in accordance with this agreement. On June 16, from an objection from Mr.. Doughert. of the Waste Control Commission, all of this was changed, including the staff member that we had been working with for the past nine months. ' Since that time, we just have not gotten .any cooperation or any information as to what is going on and why. Our Systems Statement was summarily issued on June 23, not in accordance with our negotiations, the review of our Comprehensive Sewer Plan was modified in September to a position that the City could never agree to, and even the design of the' -Orono -Long Lake, interceptor shows a designated sewer service area that prevents the M.U.S.A. line from being adjusted to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Planning.
