Village Council -
Mr. Joseph Justad, Clerk
Village Hall •
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
The Board of Education. recently received a state-
ment for a Special Assessment dated October 25, 1948, in the amount of $1,989.68
for: - Z
Brookside School - Sanitary Sewer District "d. Suburban
Homes Addition, Lots 30 through.36, Block 10. School Board's
• share- of cost of- Sanitary Sewer, per- agreement.
The Board of Education wishes to request that the Village Council make
this letter an- item•of•record for its minutes so that the following will be
recorded for future use of Village Trustees._,
The sewer from Excelsior Boulevard south on Webster Avenue to the North-
west corner of the school property was increased in depth so that the Achool
could make use of this new sewer for the new Brookside School building. The
additional expense involved was billed to the School District by the Council
rather than assessing property owners on Webster Avenue for this extra depth.
In as much as this additional expense was assessed against the
School District for the sewer not running. along its property, and
In as much as the School District had gone to additional expense
by not being able to connect with the sewer on Vernon Avenue as
originally planned by the Village Engineer, and
In as much as the new sewage connection running in a northwesterly
direction to the Webster Lateral involved much more expense,
The Board of Education is of the opinion that the School District has already
borne its share of the sewer should it ever be extended south on Webster Avenue
adjacent to Lots 30 to 36, Block 10, and that the Village Council be requested
to refrain from again assessing the School District Property.
The Board -of Education realizes that future Councils cannot be bound by
the action of the present Council, but the Board of Education would appreciate
a letter from the Village Council for its files for future use, concurring with
the above statements-as per our special meeting with the Village Council on
December 6, 1948.
Sincerely yours,
./s/. H. R.• Enestvedt ,
