PRESENT: Counci lmen Donatus Vetsch, Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, and Mark Barthel (arrived at 7:40 PM), City Engineers
Thore Meyer and Norm Gartner, City CLerk Linda Houghton
Acting Mayor Vetsch called the meeting to order.
The Council reviewed the bids received for the repairs of Main
street. The Council asked that Linda contact Omann Brothers to get
clarification of the materials they plan to use. The Council will
award the bid at the next regular meeting.
The Council reviewed the Feasibility study for the 1992-l1B
Project dated April 20, 1992. This study is of the existing sewer
mains. The reports details seven options for upgrading the
existing mains. The Council directed Thore to put together a cost
estimate for the revision of Proposal #4 extending the replacement
of mains to 56th street and Main and for two blocks along Lander
Avenue for the June l5th Council meeting.
.
Norm Gartner suggested that the City attempt to secure a low
interest MPCA loan for the improvement and make plans to construct
the new lines next year.
The Council also reviewed the Feasibility study for expansion
of the wastewater treatment plant. Thore explained that based on
residential development only, the current corporate limits of the
City could hold an additional 1877 new homes, or an additional
population of 6,300. Based on these projections, the wastewater
treatment plant would require a capacity of 507,000 gallons per
day. Councilmen Vetsch and Potter will go on a tour of several
wastewater treatment facilities on June 3 with the engineers. The
other councilmen will tour those facilities at another time.
LeRoy Berning of the Albertville Jaycees asked the Council to
consider holding off on replacing the damaged roof of the park
shelter because the Jaycees are considering constructing an
addi tion to the shel ter that would require that roof to be
replaced. Linda has checked with the insurance adjuster and has
been informed that the insurance will pay directly to the city and
the City has the option to use that money to upgrade the building.
It was the consensus of the Council to allow the Jaycees to make
a decision on the addition before the roof is replaced.
.
Potter made a motion to authorize Linda to get two bids from
electricians to temporarily restore power at City Park for the ball
field lights. She is authorized to accept the lower bid and have
the work done as soon as possible. Barthel seconded the motion.

Linda was directed to contact the Wright County Sheriff's
Office to verify that their investigation of arson on the park
shelter had been completed, and if so, to direct the maintenance
department to remove the debris.
Barthel made a motion to adjourn. Potter seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
