I I I):,." , - 4. Council Meeting Minutes November 26, 1985 Page Seven Proper stated the estimated cost for the project would be $955,000 and that he will continue working with Doug Day, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, regarding superfund monies and suggested the project be approved due to the apparent increasing contamination of Well #7. Proper mentioned, also, that two acres of property may be available across the street from the Park and that Maurie Anderson, Park and Recreation Director, is looking into the possibility of the city obtaining that property. Benke suggested we pursue the purchase of the site near Hidden Oaks and check to see if the cost of the land could be included in the contamina- tion, and asked if our payment for Creek View property was, or could be, included in the lawsuit. City Attorney will check the lawsuit files to determine whether or not the purchase of the site was included in the suit documents. Motion by Benke, seconded by Janecek, to (1) REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE FEASI- BILITY STUDY AND ORDER THE PROJECT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW WELL (CITY WELL #13) AND IRON REMOVAL FACILITY (AT WELL HOUSE #11), (2) TO AUTHORIZE THE INITIATION OF A BOND SALE FOR PROJECT FINANCING, AND (3) TO AUTHORIZE THE NEGOTIATIONS OF AN AGREEMENT WITH RIEKE CARROL MUELLER & ASSOCIATES FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR PARTS OF THE PROJECT. 3 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke stated that because he had not had an opportunity to talk with 1986 Council Councilmember Schmidt and because Councilmember-Elect Brandt would be out Organization of town the first few days of 1986, he moved, seconded by Janecek, to: CALL A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF THE NEW COUNCIL ON JANUARY 7, 1986, AT 7:00 P.M.
