I I I Council Meeting Minutes November 14, 1989 Page 11 Council Business, continued Council Business Benke asked if staff considered the use of temporary filters for back-up on Well 7 to avoid additional levels of contamination. Request for Additional Water Supply Proper will research this option. Report 89-279 Williams asked why Well 7 is not currently being treated by the PGAC Facility. Proper said Well 7 is not being treated because it has not exceeded contamination levels and is not part of the current PGAC Facility Plan. Because of Well 7's location in the lower aquifer, any increase in use of this well may cause more damage to the aquifer and cause the contamination to spread. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENTAL COUNSEL, AND THE CITY'S ENVIRONMENT CONSULTING ENGINEERS TO PURSUE ADDITIONAL WATER SUPPLY CAPACITY UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LITSAG AND THE PGRS OPTION. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Childs noted that the City has received a letter from Barry Eliason, Lake Forest 2740 Forest Dale Road, concerning a sedimentation problem in Lake Sedimentation Problem Forest. Report 89-270 Mr. El iason feel's recent construction projects and other run-off problems are associated with the filling of Lake Forest. Mr. El; ason has asked the City to take formal act; on to cl ean up the 1 ake. Chi 1 ds noted that because of the 1 arge number of ponds in New Brighton and the natural process which causes prairie lakes and ponds to fill in --- this won't be the last request of this type. Staff feels because of the large cost implications to the homeowners, the general taxpayer or both, this situation should be assigned to a commission for study. Benke added that the previously addressed Lake Diane situation placed the responsibility upon the lakeshore homeowner. Benke feels this current problem should be referred to a commission in order to define the issues and identify appropriate actions.
