(• Mr. Frank Ruekert of Ruekert and Mielke, discussed with the committee
the plans for sewer installation in Kurtze Lane and the timetable
involved. He stated that if everything proceeds fairly quickly that
hewers could be constructed by late 1982. Delivery of the lift
etations could be approximately eight months and they cannot be
erdea'%d until the low bid has been determined. Other options include
Ilia ;Ratalling sewers in 1983 and 1984 when the Woods Road interceptor
it ihstalled, and (2) installing sewers in 1982 at the same time
Igkyrt.ae Lane is reconstructed, however, not making them operational

The committee discussed with Mr. Chester Nygren the sewer usage bill
lie received for a duplex owned by him on Tess Corners Drive. The
• bill sent to Mr. Nygren amounted to one-half of the total charges
from the time the duplex was connected to the city's sewage system
through 1981. The bill resulted from the failure of the city tea
chargr. the property owned by Mr. Nygren as a duplex. Mr. Nygren
indicated that since he and his wife separated and each owned ono -hall
of the building until 1978 he did not feel he should be responsibla
for her share. Aid. Salentine moved to recommend to the Common
Council that the sum of $240.00 ($48.00 for the years 1978, 1979
and 1960 and $96.00 for 1981) be accepted as payment in full for
sewer usage charges from Mr. Nygren. Seconded by Aid. Klenz. Motion
carried.
Mr. Scott Krause appeared at the meeting to discuss his holding tank
request for a five -parcel residential development (Country Club 'Gales)
An opinion from the city attorney was read regarding what precedents
the city might be setting if they create a separate sewerage district
for this five -parcel development. It was generally agreed 'that it
the city gave its approval of the creation of a separate sewek•A:A'@
district the city and county's present holding tank polity would tqt
become involved. The committee noted that Mr. Krause has been
attempting to get this development request approved for �EVeTiil vcd
years and this appears to be the final problem which Itrust be r�wul
if Country Club Oaks is to receive final city approval. The scitte
directed the city attorney to advise them how a separate sewere
district could be established. It was agreed by the members 01 the
committee that this action should not be considered as settiuK a
precedent since the Country Club Oaks development and the r'egVite t
that it be served by a holding tank was made prior to the eitist"iAW
city and county holding tank regulations.
The committee discussed the use of the McShane treatment fac4l4t*
for the dumping of holding tank effluent. Mr. Stanley Wti1.t@Y�., '"o
was present at the meeting, indicated that he remove8 6 t%ygo" 0•1609
and 60,000 gallons of sludge a year from the McShane Plhht iik "re,EiArn
for the privilege of dumping holding tank effluent into the system.
After considerable discussion the committee agreed that iE Wgblil be
in the best interest of the city to continue the exchange 01&fi with
Mr. Walters. All other haulers will be charge .02 cents per galldn,
All charges will be made as if full loads were dumped. It was also
agreed that the use of the -McShane plant shall be for Muskego's

Mr. Alvin Schaefer was present at the meeting to discuss his sewer
assessment deferment. The Schaefers are requesting to have their
ke new 10-year deferment commence in 1979 rather than 1981 thereby
eliminating two year's interest at six percent (6%). Since the
additional two-year deferment plan had been approved by the Common
Council only they can rescind that action and make the new deferment
plan retroactive to October, 1979. Ald. Klenz moved to recommend
to the Common Council that they approve a sewer deferment assessment
plan for the Schaefer property retroactive to October, 1979 and that
the two year's interest at six percent (6%) be waived. Seconded by
Ald. Salentine. Motion carried.
The committee discussed the question of whether or not summer cottages
in the Lake Denoon area should be permitted to continue the use of
outhouses or whether or not they should be required to connect to
the city's sewage system. Action was deferred until the city ordinances
regarding this matter can be reviewed by the committee.
Mr. Gus Saites appeared at the meeting to discuss possible connection
of a lateral into a sewer main on S.T.H. 24 on the Small property.
The lateral would be for a 7-acre planned unit development located
west of Heritage Church on College Avenue. Mr. Saites was advised
to discuss with the DNR or SEWRPC whether or not such a lateral
would be controlled under the present moratorium which prohibits the
extension of the sewer main.
Mayor Gottfried updated the committee on present negotiations with
