engineer have re-evaluated the access to 145th Street as proposed in the

that each community should participate in the management of waste'and the
donation center should be located among Rosemount, Lakeville and Apple

trailer in Apple Valley on a permanent basis with the option to have it come
to Rosemount on a quarterly basis or for special clean-up campaigns.

Councilmember Napper advised Council that he and staff have continued to
meet regarding solutions to the contaminated water issue and the well system
the University of Minnesota has proposed to install. City Engineer Rich
Hefti stated that he has reviewed the University's report setting out the
alternatives for a permanent drinking water supply to those residents
affected; and in particular Alternative 3-C which provides the costs for a
rural water distribution system. Hefti stated he has been in contact with a
consulting firm which designs these systems, and he estimates that the cost
for this type of system should be approximately one-half the amount
estimated by the University. Councilmember Napper requested Council to
consider authorizing the sum of $5,000 for this consulting firm to do a
feasibilty report for a rural water system, pointing out this rural water
system could also serve the old city hall and residents of that area.
