Metro imposing their will on the City of Muskego. He also stated that
the preliminary environmental impact statement is being reviewed by
members of his firm and they will keep the City of Muskego advised.
Ruekert & Mielke will make recommendations to the city as to what plan
of action should be taken and when they feel letters and resolutions
by the Common Council would be in order,
Mr, and Mrs. Donald Dixon and Mr, Steve Schuler appeared regarding Mr.
Demshar's request for right-of-way necessary for sewer service to his
home. Mayor Gottfried will check the easement on the Schuler property
to determine whether or not it could be used for sewer purposes.
Building Inspector Lee will report on the condition of the building
to be served by public sewer. The committee agreed that a holding tank
would not be suitable for this property and it should be served by
public sewer for the benefit of Lake Denoon..
The committee reviewed a report from the Building Inspection Department
advising them of the individuals who have not connected to municipal
sewers in the Lake Denoon area, The committee agreed that Mayor
Gottfried should determine what procedures have been followed in the past
regarding forced hookups and it was decided that the same procedures
be followed in the Lake Denoon area.
The committee reviewed with James Kibbe and Bill Mielke the sewage
treatment operator's report for the month of July. They indicated that
the tests were made by a new employee of Layne -Northwest which might be
the reason why the suspended solids were so high. Additional tests
will be made by the city, James Kibbe will also contact Layne -Northwest
periodically during the month in order to determine whether or not the
results are satisfactory.
Discussion also centered around the need for additional help to clean up
the area and mow the grass, Mayor Gottfried will discuss this possib-
ility with Supt, Bertram.
A lengthy discussion was held by the committee in an effort to determine
the most equitable method of reserving sewer connections in the Lake
Denoon area for the property owners who have paid a sewer assessment
as well as how to distribute the non -committed available connections
Action was deferred until the next meeting.
Gerald Lee's letter to Frank Ruekert, Jr., dated 7/28/80 regarding the
