Mayor J. Olson called the joint meeting the to order.
Otsego Mayor L. Fournier explained the letter they (Otsego) had sent to
Albertville Council regarding sewer.
Mayor J. Olson explained Albertville's desire to only discuss the "Triangle"
area of Otsego. Albertville's needs to service area are (in regards to sewer
service):
~ Metered flow of sewer
~ Percentage of hook-ups
~ Lower density housing in area
~ Need to have low-waster usage commercial in area
Councilmember V. Heidner said metered flow would not be a problem. This
would be similar to an agreement they have with the City of Dayton.
V. Heidner also explained an Ordinance Otsego has which specifies quality of
water moving into their treatment plant.
L. Fournier asked is Albertville Council was truly interested (as a whole) in
servicing Otsego. The Albertville Council agreed that this is what they had
discussed.
V. Heidner suggested using gallons per acre as a way of giving capacity to Otsego.
Councilmember B. Gundersen explained future expansion plans and that the
second phase of plans would have to be re-drawn if Otsego hooked on to the
system.
V. Heidner explained the triangle comp plan shows Homes south of CSAH 37 and
Light Industrial north of CSAH 37.
