He is not in favor of them doing this. Fred Suhler, City Attorney suggested that this area be adopted as outlots and then the developer would have control and would have to maintain all of the area. President Postier stated that if an area is maintained by the City it would be costly however if the Homeowner's Association maintains City owned property and does not have the money or for some reason does not maintain this properly, then the City does not have a means to get them to continue to maintain the property and the City would.be stuck.

Roger Plumb, Public Services Director stated that this was needed to get the mid level mix in the aeration tank mixed. The bottom is being mixed but this sludge blanket forms and if it is not corrected the Water Reclamation Plant has to take other expensive means to re- move that layer. The consultant has recommended this mixer in order to save time and money in a long run. President Postier commented RECORD OF OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL 2716 Agenda Item E-12 E-13 E-14 E-15 CITY OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA Adjourned Meeting No. 7 - August 18, 1986 that he agreed with Alderman Strain. He thought that the engineers and consultants that wre, hired at the time the plant was built should have been aware of these problems and the City would not have to keep spending money to correct this sort of problem. Alderman Solinger suggested that the City Attorney check into the city's obligation as to what standards do we as a City have to come up to - the State of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the EPA or who. Mr. Plumb, stated that we need the mixer at this time anyway and would recommend that the Council approve the low bid.
