MINNETRISTA COUNCIL AND MOUND COUNCIL JOINT MEETING Present were: Minnetrists Council consisting of Mayor Ed Ebert, Clerk Germain Boll, Councilmen: Robert Fillmore, Paul Mader, Clarence Sorenson, Attorney Elizabeth Bonham. Spring Park Council - Luther Anderson, Councilman Koehn Subject for discussion, Water, Sewer, Police and Fire Service for proposed new school in Minnetrista. Meeting and discussion will be between the Minnetrista Council and the Mound Council, it is not a public hearing and is not open to the public for public discussion. Ebert RequesteA water and sewer service for proposed new school, proposed that Mound give such service thru a franchise over Minnetrista property, no annexation wanted or needed but will cooperate with the Mound Council and the School Board to get such service. Koehn Mound once offered service to Minnetrista but were turned down with the statement that Minnetrista was not interested in sewer service. Mound does not want individual contracts but would consider sewer service for a large tract and allow Minnetrista to pay their share in the capitbl investment. Ebert We do not need sewer for ourselves but for the school board, we did not ask the school to build their school in Minnetrista, but welcome them and have told them that Minnetrista cannot furnish them with water or sewer service. No annexation! Koehn Minnetrista can't furnish fire protection either, can it? Pfeifer Minn~trista cannot furnish sewer, water or fire service, they are not ready to accept the responsibilities of being a village but want an aocomdating village to furnish these service for them. we feel that annexation for this area is the best way to handle this current problem. Sorenson Minnetrista has growing pains now as!did Mound once and annexation is not ~- the answer, we could not afford sewer or our budget this year, we are asking for ~he School Board not for ourselves. I also feel that the Minnesota Municipal Commission would not approve such an annexation. Heikkila I a~ee with Mr. Pfeifer and feel that Minnetrista is not facing their responsibilities as a village. Fillmore We feel we are a full-fledged village, we wqnt no annexation. We are furnishing to our people what they need and want, and they do not want sewer and water. We agree that Mound should not deal with Minnetrista citimens individually but this request is for the school board which is made up of Mound Citizens as well as Spring Park, Minnetrista ~nd Orono. If the school board chooses to request Municipal Sewer and Water service Johnson KO~ · Fillmore Koehn Fillmore or build their own plant is their own business. We are two villages located side by side and we can get along like good neighbors or act like north and south Forea. I own property in Minnetrista and pay t~xes there an~ wo~ll~ like sewer service on my property in Minnetrist~ If we would grant this individual contract, others would come with equally urgent requests and we would be doing nothin but holding hearings for sewer service. We can't guarantee that we won't come back and ask for sewer for other areas, perhaps Douglas Beach. Are you speaking for the school board or for Minnetrista? Minnetrista Koehn What has Minnetrista to offer the school board? Sorenson A beautiful site Kopp. Would Minnetrista at sometime wish to join the school board in paying for the use its proposed line or build a new line parallel to theirs? Fillmore We wou~d have a separate line as we would get charged for it anyway. Ebert How did Mound know what the school board has requested from Minnetrista? Koehn The school board attorney contacted our office to get a copy of the sewer contract with Spring Park and Mound, and by way of explanation told us of the request, We informed him we would not contract with an individual. Fillmore We are only requesting a line to the school, a closed line with no tapping along this line. Pfeifer Our ohly offer o£ solution is annexation, and by this annexation we would not gain tax-wise - by annexing one house, a church, church property, a cemetery and two undeveloped tracts. Fillmore Annexation is out! I can't see why sewer line can't be laid for the use of the school and what annexation has to do with this. sewer line. Koehn If you need sewer is Minnetrista make it a large area not piece-meal. Pfeifer Minnetrista and Orono were not interested in sewer and our plant was designed for the use and growth of the villages of Spring Park and Mound, only, andother use would shorten our own use of the plant. Luther Anderson The Spring Park council has a meeting, January 20, 1964 and agrees with Mound, no piece-meal service to be furnished, the proposed annexation would be alrite ith them as their contract called for a se~ 12%. A contract would give Spring Park a smaller share of the plant. FillmO=e Would the mere addition of the school sewer load to our plant over-tax the faoicities designed? Pfeifer No, but what ifMinnetrista had another school - then what? Fillmore Minnestrista would be able to supply sewer service to the next school to be built in Minnetrista, because we will be growing and growing ~ast! Johnson Ko ehn How can you grow with no sewer or water and one acre lots! Mound is not in a position to supply sewer service for a small area or individual contract and will not contract for a small area.
