his opinion the feedback from the people attending the public
SERVICE AREA. Mr. Lee started the discussion by stating that in
hearing was neither for or against the sewer service area. Mr.
Schmidt commented that perhaps some residents felt the sewers
would come into the proposed area rather quickly, which isn't the
case. It was mentioned that the Common Council has to work with
the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) for a
timeframe. Several factors enter into the picture such as
building an interceptor, funding. Plus, every property owner
would have a chance to he heard at an assessment hearing.
Chairman Salentine commented that it would be good for all the
residents if the entire city were in the sewer service area
district. Mr. Lee stated that the sewer service area could
permit development for the land west of Hwy. 45 before the year
2000. Mayor Salentine stated that a feasibility study was to he
done by the engineers and in order to determine the size of the
forced main, they would need to know if the land for the
landfills on Highway 45 were to be included in the report.
Hulbert asked whether the landfill could absorb the bulk of the
cost for sewer service? Chairman Salentine responded that SEWRPC
won't allow small desiEns for sewer areas. There has to be more
participation. The next step is to wait for the impact study
which should he within 90 days. Mr. Hulbert stated that this
project would affect the whole city as well as the schools, so we
have to take a serious look at this proposal. It was the
censensus of the members that this matter be on the agenda for
