4. Rum River Bridge Crossing: Still waiting for the Federal Highway Administrator to complete the review on the environmental assessment. 5. CAB Interceptor: The last CAB meeting was held March 12, 1981 at Anoka. The Anoka portion ~f the CAB is still scheduled for construction in 1981 and 1982 which would provide service to Ramsey along U.S. Highway 10 in late 1982. However, capacity allocated to Ramsey is very minimal and the timing of the Ramsey Second Connection is in question as indicated in Fred Stenborg's (MWCC) memo dated March 6, 1981 to John Harnington (Met Council). We will be meeting with Jim Barton on March 23, 1981 to discuss the Ramsey flows and the Compre- hensive Plan. Discussion of the lower segment of the CAB was held and amendments to proceed with plan and specs on CAB and to expand the Anoka Treatment Plant are being reviewed by the 208 Plan Advisory Board this week. It is the pos'ition~of~the Met Council to proceed with plans for the lower segment of the CAB using local funds. However, the construction of this segment is in question due to Reagan's cutbacks in grants. The council should contact the 208 Plan Advisory Board members from this area who are Marvin Mindess and John Christenson to express their concerns for this' project. Without construction of the lower CAB the flows allocated to Ramsey will be minimal and the Second Connection would be delayed. The next CAB meeting is scheduled for 10 A.M. on April 16, 1981 at Brooklyn Park. 6. Sewer Service Area Advisory Board: I attended the first meeting of the.. S.S.A.A.B. at Coon Rapids on Mar~h 11, 1981. The main function of these meetings is to establish communications between the MWCC and the sewer service area communities. Therefore,'if anyone has any question in regard to the MWCC, please let me know. The next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 P.M. on April 1, 1981 at Brooklyn Park, which will involve a slide show on the wastewater treatment plants. We are also planning to have the Environmental Protection Agency, the Met Council and the Minnesota Pollution Agency at one of our meetings to discuss functions and relationships. 'We have heard conflicting stores from these agencies concerning the CAB Interceptor. For instance one reason the Met Council says CAB has been delayed is because MPCA will not allow construction until the Metro Plant meets effluent standards. Met Council also has stated that the Metro Plan won't meet standards until 1987, but George Lusher from MWCC stated that Metro has been meeting standards for almost a year. With all agencies present maybe we'll be able to get the actual facts. 7. Feasibility Studies on Drainage Problems 163rd Ave. & Olivine St. and 159th Ave. & Dolomite St.: Council officiall~ received these at their February 10, 1981 meeting and decided to wait on holding public hearings. 8. Comprehensive Storm Drain Stud~: A resolution establishing the rates for storm drainage improvement charges is to be reviewed at the March 31, 198[special' council meeting. 9. Comprehensive Water Stud~: Council decided to discuss this at the March 31, 1981 special council meeting. -2-
