PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTEMBER 30, 1980 Page 2 <br /> M <br /> Questions and comments were: <br /> (1) Is this our last meeting on the sewer project? <br /> (2) Z4hy can' t we wait for Federal funding. <br /> (3) There are too many residents that do not have <br /> sufficient incomes to support the project. <br /> (4) What are the results of the questionnaire? <br /> Mayor Van Nest, the City Council, and City Engineer � <br /> Glen Cook responded to questions and comments by <br /> stating that the projects were rebid and segmented ; <br /> into four parts: County Road #15 (Marinas) , Orono j <br /> Lane and West Ferndale, North Shore Drive and Minnetonka ; <br /> �Bluffs. � <br /> , � <br /> The Minnetonka Bluffs area lower bids reflect elimination <br /> of dewatering costs. Dewatering is an expensive <br /> operation and is reflected in higher costs for the <br /> Orono Lane-West Ferndale areas. For assessing purposes <br /> the areas are assessed according to each project cost. <br /> The City has to proceed with this project based upon <br /> the need to eliminate sewage problems. The Pollution <br /> Control Agency has indicated grant funds will not be <br /> available next year or possibly for three years. <br /> The City has not been entered on the Municipal needs <br /> list which is the first step in the process and we <br /> have been advised this will not occur until next year <br /> or possibly the follzs��_ng year. It is necessar�Z to <br /> order the project in now if we are to certify assessments <br /> by October lOth of this year and start construction <br /> this fall. It is not possible to acquire grant monies <br /> after construction starts. If the projects do fail, <br /> the City will enforce its on-site system regulations. <br /> The results of the questionnaire are as follows: <br /> YES NO ' <br /> Minnetonka Blufffs 40% 60$ <br /> County Road #15 (Ma�inas) 100o <br /> West Fernda�e-Orono Lane 21� <br /> North Shore Drive 50g 500 <br /> The public information meeting adjourned at 10 : 45 P.M. <br /> i <br /> V <br /> illiam B.
