Farr Development Update
Darrell Farr and Lucinda Gaardner of Farr Development
presented a letter outlining their interest in donating land
to Otsego for a wastewater treatment plant site. Mayor
Fournier thanked them for their interest.
Review of West Sewer Study
City Engineer Ron Wagner presented the Comprehensive Sewer
Study for the West Otsego Area. Engineer Wagner reviewed the
topography of the area and showed how various parts of the
area could be provided sewer service. Wagner reviewed
various alternatives which would reduce the number of lift
stations needed for the system, with an approximate savings
to the City of $500,000. Council thanked Wagner for his
report.
Administrator Robertson said that the sewer system would be
financed by bonding. He noted that the Council had already
directed staff to combine the west sewer and water systems
with the east phase II sewer expansion into one large bond.
Administrator Robertson was directed to contact Albertville
about the future paving of 70th Street. With no further
business, the meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
