The CAB interceptor is also important for Ramsey. We could be caught in a tight bind <br />over this. All we have wanted is to be treated equally. We'd like to know when we <br />are scheduled for the interceptor. It is important for industry in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Charles Weaver reiterated that this issue has been around for a long time. It <br />is also very important to the Metro Council. The delay for the interceptor was in <br />Brooklyn Park and it will be done sometime in the future with Metro dollars. <br /> <br />First there was the agreement with the Comprehensive Plan to insure a guided growth <br />policy whereby we could not allow building on small lots and bail out a community on <br />sewer problems. Metro Council feels proper steps have to be taken. The interceptor <br />will be built by 1986 but not sure exactly when. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schnelle stated that it has come back that Ramsey would be for- <br />gotten regarding the interceptor. We have heard this from several sources. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver stated that financing is a big problem. <br /> <br />Commissioner Menkveld asked if a part of Andover will be served by the line. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver said that Andover will not be a part of that line and~ that they have been <br />told they will not get it. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schnelle said they were told the cost to run up our line would be <br />about $1 million if we were to have the line in by 1984. We have developers who are <br />ready to move. That is why Ramsey developed the memorandum of understanding as we <br />don't want to be caught out on a limb. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver stated that he can't say for sure, as Champlin and Brooklyn Park must be <br />connected first. <br /> <br />Commissioner Menkveld asked if Ramsey is like Andover in that we are in the plans but <br />may never see the connection. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver reiterated that it will go but they're not sure when. Mr. Weaver stated <br />that the Metro Council is very understanding. There had been a lot of pressure for <br />the Dunham Oaks area. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka stated that Dun.ham Oaks Anoka's problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Norm Holm asked if there was a problem with running the line in that the original <br />concept in 1976 was to run the line north to Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver stated this concept has been around for years. <br /> <br />Mr. Holm asked if this line is to service Anoka's industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Weaver said that if Ramsey didn't want a second connection there wouldn't be one. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schnelle stated that Ramsey does want one. Ramsey is concerned <br />on the trunk cost for the interceptor. We feel we do pay our full load and we can <br />have the second connection if we want to pay for it. Ramsey is at the end of the line <br />and costs are rising. If we can't have it now then can we have an agreement as to <br />when. People come and go and if we don't have something in writing we can get hu~t. <br /> <br />EDC/April 14, 1982 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
