The following Crystal Council members were present:
Benton, Headley, Heise, and ?rinton.
Mr. Stanley Kane, attorney for Golden Valley and Mr.
McCullough, attorney for Crystal, were present as were
representatives of the G.M. Orr Engineering Company and
Pfeifer and Schultz Engineering Company.
This was a special meeting of the Village Council of the
Village of Golden Valley and the Village Council of the
Village of Crystal, called to determine the proportionate
initial capital costs to each village should both villages
determine to construct a joint sanitary sewer interceptor
system.
The G.M. Orr Engineering Company, engineers for the
Village of Golden Valley, estimate the cost of constructing
a joint trunk line from the intersection of Culver Road
(extended( and Highway No. 100 to the connection with
the Minneapolis sewer system at $ 471,000.00 including
contingencies.
Pfeifer and Schultz, engineers for the Village of Crystal
estimate that the cost of constructing a sewer of
sufficient capacity to carry sewage from Crystal only,
through the Village of Golden Valley, at $ 174,500.00
including a lift station in Golden Valle. ;paid engineers
stated that the lift station would cost $ 38,000.00 and
that if Crystal built its own interceptor no property
owner south of Bassett's Creek could connect with the
sewer because of the shallow depth of the interceptor.
Estimated total effluent from Crystal is 5.6 Cubic feet
per second estimated effluent from Golden Valley is 23.8
cubic feet per second, a total effluent discharge of 28.8
cubic feet per second, The above figures are based upon
maximum effluent discharge which each village may
contribute at some time in the future. On a percentage
basis, the above figures represent 27.4% effluent con-
tribution from Crystal and 72.6% effluent contribution
from Golden Valley.
After further discussion during which it was stated that
Crystal is prepared to proceed with its individual sewer
interceptor, each person present was polled as to his
idea concerning the sharing of initial capital costs of
the proposed joint interceptor by each Village.
Each member of the Crystal Council stated that he thought
that initial capital costs of the joint interceptor should
be contributed by each village proportionate to the
quantity of effluent which maybe finally contributed to
said interceptor by each village, or on a percentage figure
based upon the number of connections of each village,
or a 59-50 division of capital outlay with Golden Valley
to reimburse Crystal on a usage basis as more connections
are made in Golden Valley.
Should a joint Interceptor be constructed, Crystal
objected to any stipulation in the contract limiting
Crystal to 5.6 cubic feet per second maximum effluent
discharge.
Each member of the Golden Valley Council stated thst he
thought that each village should pay fifty percent of the
initial cost of constructing a joint interceptor system,
with the matter of reimbursement to Crystalto be decided
at a later date.
Engineers for both villages were instructed to secure from
each other detailed cost estimates on the joint interceptor
sewer line.
Attorneys for both villages were instructed to prepare
proposals for the consideration of both village Councils.
The meeting adjourned by mutual consen .
