MINUM of the Procoodiap of *A vplogo Council of the Vilkgp of Prix take in the County of Scott and State ot
Mianeseta, including all accounts audited by said Council.
JIM UTTLEY
The following is the major part of the conversation:
METRO COUNCIL
Mr. Uttley: "They (Metro Council) have increased your population on the'
order of a couple thousand. By the year 2000 the forecast is 11,000 people.."
"The forecasts themselves are subject to considerable flucuation, however
their effect on policy, is somewhat a different matter. They are translated
into flow forecasts by the sewer people and those forecasts are planned around.
You certainly can come in and make a case for the "rate of flow but according
to state law if the Council decides that this is the flow you'll have to
;
go back and amend your plan and take that into account. There's a number
of factors that affect the flow, one is the flow per capita.. In some
P`
communities it's in the neighborhood of 118 galloris per day, suddenly it's
down to 81* That depends upon the infiltration of the system."
"There's plenty of capacity in the interceptor itself to take care of the
population of Prior Lake. The area of concern is with the treatment plant.
That was designed to be filled up and expanded. The original plans were
i
to expand It around the 1990's. There's a number of alternatives presently
considered. Talking bout g
g perhaps running treatment from Chaska, closin g
Chaska, perhaps even up around Lake Minnetonka, west side. into the treatment
plant, if that happens the timing on the expansion of the Blue Lake Treatmen
plant will change, instead of 1990 it would'be 1985. I know it's their inter
to try and stretch that plant as 'far as we can. And the -offic ial� projections
=
that you have for sewer flow, they figured out that, they could stretch it
until 1990 if everybody held the limit."
"I think the 208 Study will have a drastic effect on the timing of that
approval. 1 won't just state. that it will adversely affect Prior Lake
In terms of useability in the foreseeable future. The interceptor will support
your growth and that's still our intention. As I said in the letter the
trouble comas in if you acheive your 17 population in 1990 vs. our
11,000 and everybody else reaches their population also if we get any more
growth we will have to expand that much sooner. The only place where that
might be a problem is in terms of money. Our intentions is to provide you
;4
with the capacity."
"...Growth may have to slow down for a: couple years. This is looking
`
towards the and of the century and we are monitoring the flow on a yearly
basis, so by:, 1981 we should have a fairly good handle on whether you're_
growing at the rate you think you're growing."
r
"i think that certainly the Council's intent is to provide you with the A sk ,
you And do that. It's bucks."
:
capacity need. they'll a question of the
"I've done populatt.on..forecasts myself, 1 know that they are not strightE
lining you. They're going at the perspective that so much growth will occur
In the Metro area. But ithere is that growth going to go? They divide that
ln
"You have to show us that'developmerit Is occur.ing out here. You have to
a
understand that Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Orono that there are
1
a great many communities out there that are in the same situation that you
area, They have a lot of lots that are sewered. People have a choice where
f,4
they want =to live. I know you are trying to force development into where
they have the sewers."
a
Mayor Stock: "You made the statement earlier this evening that It is going
r
t
to be every 3 years that you're going to update and revise but then that
should be stated in such a letter that revisions are going to take place
and that is based on law."
Uttley: "That is based on law."
=F
Mayor Stock: "Mhen the concept of the Blue Lake Treatment Plant.occurred,
Shakopee could not be found, they wou d not have any part of it. Savage,
did not have or want any part of it. Chaska did not want any part of this
concept. was now when tney see tnat it can imo funded,as a Reyionai Funding
Program, they're in there hammering for every cent they can get. And the

have been for WhAt.vas Prior Lake and Eagle Creek joining at that time that
would not have existed today. Because they needed somebody on the south
side of the river. And nobody would join."

Councilman Watkins: "The thing is we go out and bond to the hilt, build
METRO COUNCIL
like crazy and it isn't. easy, financed totally by our constiuents, no
HUD money, this is our own and we're very concerned.that those deferred
assessments have someplace to go in their due time. We would hate to
see them turned off.. It goes back to this, we bought the shilling
s
at the beginning and-we want the whole shillings worth not part of it."
Uttley: "Based upon our population forecast,, you'll probably be growing
slower than you forecast. How that may not happen, but from our
:.
prospective it would be wise to consider the possiblity,..'What happens'if...'
Councilman Bissonett: "You'd have a lot less nervous people if you planned
it the other way and consider what. would happen if it grew faster than
that. Then we would have only a pipe that was only half. full."
Uttley: "The problem is in fact if the whole sector grows faster than
the.rest of the metro area then we i
we'll sake our investments n this sector.
When you'`ve got the pipe in the ground and you are getting more and more
building permits, that's solid evidence."
' j y
Mayor Stock: "I fully support the idea of the plan being updated every
• "
three year's and if you can assure the City Council this will occur
"
that our statistics as well as your statistics are going to be used to t
i 7
arrive,,at this final figure at each one of these revisions then I guess
1`
I don't have too.much of a problem:" y
Uttley: "I'll see if I can get out, another letter."
Mayor Stock:" There are two other things that -I would like to have you
j
address if you're .going to answer our original questions., one was relative,
to the orderly annexation areas, are these outside of the population°
sewer
and capacity projections that we haveY_I think that should be
addressed and also the possible or future mergers or annexations that
might occur in our future.'!'
