A spokeman for Interstate Engineer suggested returning the plat to the City Planning Commission.<\/p>\n

Mayor Andersen said she has concerns with the plat complying with the City Ordinance, including access relative to bringing the road to grade, public access, and water and sewer issues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The City Council voted to return the request to the Planning Commission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also considered was corrective action for the reclamation of filter bay backwash water at the Water Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n

City Engineer Reed Schwartzkopf said $15,000 needs to be set aside for it to remain a ground water treatment facility. He also proposed developing a 15 year capital improvement plan, to cover an emergency design to submit to the State Health Department.<\/p>\n

The Council voted to appropriate $15,000.<\/p>\n

Darrell Hournbuckle from Interstate Engineering was on hand to re-explain the options.<\/p>\n

Council Member Brubakken suggested the option of using the route of the least amount of pipe, with not as many properties involved, which Mayor Andersen agreed with.<\/p>\n

The City Council voted to approve that option.<\/p>\n

That option is projected to cost $8.8 million, the least expensive option.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to be started in the spring of 2013.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
