LOUIS PARK DOES ORDAIN: Section 1. The City Council hereby declares that the emergency hereinafter defined exists and that an emergency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, morals, safety or welfare in accordance with Section 3.05, 3. 06, 3.08 and 5. 06 of the Charter of the City of St. Louis Park. Section 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines the following facts and defines declares the existence of an emergency as follows: 1. The County of Hennepin through its Engineering Department, has been making repairs in County Highway No. 5, which is Minnetonka Boulevard in the City of St. Louis Park, at its intersection with Georgia Avenue at the site of a watermain break. 2. Said repairs consist of filling the sub -soil underneath the concrete pavement by a process known as mud -jacking which consists of forcing a hardening material into cavities in the underlying earth in a soft condition to fill existing pockets or holes, which material then in the course of time hardens to form a support for the pavement. 3. During the process of the repair work to the street as aforesaid, such hardening material was injected into the sanitary sewer system of the City of St. Louis Park in said area, filling such sanitary sewer pipe to within two or three inches of the top thereof in such a manner as to block the flow of sewerage therein. 4. That as a result of the foregoing it is now necessary to repair the said sanitary sewer by the removal of such materials at an engineer's esti- mated cost in the sum of approxin-iately Thirty -Five Hundred Dollars ($3500.00) for work at a depth of approximately Sixteen (16) feet under the level of the street which work is beyond the capacity of presently owned city equipment. e 5. That the plugging of the sewer as mentioned hereinbefore constitutes a health hazard of complete stoppage and backing up of sewerage in the city sanitary sewer system which threat could result in public health problems at any time and which hazard makes necessary the immediate letting of a contract for the emergency repair made necessary by the existing conditions, there being insufficient time for the usual advertising for bids in the manner required by charter. 6. The City Council hereby declares that an emergency exists in connection with such sanitary sewer, justifying and requiring that this ordinance upon its passage on the date hereof shall become effective immediately without publication, to remove the hazard to the health of the public as hereinbefore described. Section 3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to negotiate a contract for the repair of the blockage in the sanitary sewer system herein- before described and the Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized an behalf of the City to execute all necessary instruments for such materials, equipment, and construction work as may be necessary. Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its passage, without publication, on the date hereof.
