2. Continued Business
a. Wellhead Protection Plan Update - Engineer Schorzman shared with the Board that we were not
selected for a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health for a contaminant source inventory.
This will not increase the cost of the update.
b. Water Supply and Distribution Plan Update – Engineer Schorzman shared that the update is due in
the fall of 2017. The board discussed the possibility that consultant assistance may be necessary.
They will discuss this item with the new public works director in January.
3. New Business –
a. City Utilities in State and County Rights-of-Way - Engineer Schorzman discussed the
reasoning behind why we have to pay to relocate our utilities (water, sewer, storm water) if
they are in right-of-way owned by another agency (MnDOT, County, etc.) The general rule is
that the owner of the property can make other entities move there utilities on the owner’s
property, at their expense, since they are placed there by permission of the owner..
