City Engineer Pete Carlson reported that the City of Otsego has had dye
inserted into the septic system suspected of draining into the Albertville storm sewer
system. According to the report generated by Kevin Kloeppner of Eco System
Engineering, the dye did not show up in the manhole. Kloeppner believes that no
septic waste is going to the manhole. Carlson does not agree with Kloeppner's opinion
that the water is not septic. He further stated that neither Otsego's administrator nor
building official have a problem if Albertville decides to plug the manhole.
Berning made a motion directing Carlson to contact Kelly Browning from PSG
to see if the water in the manhole can be tested to determine whether wastewater is
actually present in the manhole. Should the test prove that wastewater is present in the
manhole, Carlson is directed to have the manhole plugged. Gundersen seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Carlson updated the Council on the status of City projects.
Councilmember Vetsch questioned Carlson why over head electric was allowed
along S7th Street. Carlson explained that NSP informed him that this power line is a

to the power company.

intersections with sih Street. Stalberger made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION
#1999-54 titled A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PLACEMENT OF
STOP SIGNS. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
