-3- May 16, 1977 Septic System Maintenance Pro~ram The Septic System Maintenance Program subcommittee met on May 10, 1977 at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall with the following people in attendance: Ken Peterson, Robert Muller and Phil Nereson. This subcommittee met and reviewed the outline proposed for municipal on-site septic system inspection and maintenance program as detailed by Bernie Steffen and was in general accord with this outline. It was decided that the subcommittees best action at this point would be to draft a letter which would contain the objectives of the program, how the program would be administered, and what the program would hope to evaluate. This letter would then be sent to all congressmen and representatives, and any or all agencies who would be either be environmentally sensitive or sensitive to the on-site septic system issue. In this letter we will be requesting financial assistance for a demonstration grant on this type of program and/or comment from them on the proposed ordinances in general. On May 12, 1977, at 9:00 a.m., a meeting at Metropolitan Council offices with Sandy Dean and Peggy Reichert, who have been responsible for the Metro Council review of the Ramsey Urban Plan, was attended by Bernie Steffen, Dick Sha and Phil Nereson. This meeting was to review with the Metro Council staff the procedures the City is proposing to implement the Urban Plan. They received identical packets to the ones all Planning & Zoning Commission members received and their immediate response was very positive. They have indicated they will do a brief review and have it to us by our May 19th meeting. They expressed a lot of interest in our on-site septic system proposals and indicated they would work with us in trying to obtain a demon- stration grant of some sort to implement the proposal. We also met with Mr. Vic Ward who is now working with the Metro Council on revised population projects. He indicated to us that the past population projections for Ramsey and much of Anoka County was incorrect and they have been revised upward. The new projections for Ramsey indicate a 1980 population of 10,000 and a 1990 popu- lation of 13,000, a year 2000 population of 17,500, a year 2010 population of 26,000 and a year 2020 population of 31,000. It is felt by increasing this population projection to 31,000 in 2020 the proper sizing for the CAB interceptor can be deter- mined and will be consistent with the city's previous population projections, so that population projection no longer appears to be a dispute with Metro Council figures. This past week was averybusy week but it appears that progress was made in many areas toward instituting our Urban Plan and much of the work now being done will certainly be of value when we proceed with our planning in response to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. If any Councilmembers or Commissioners have any questions relative to the different subcommittee activities please feel free to contact me. Phil D. Nereson
