RESOLUTION NO. 440
A RESOLUTION STATING EDEN PRAIRIE' S POSITION
AND PROPOSALS FOR THE 1972 METRO SEWER COST
ALLOCATIONS.
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village Council of the Village of Eden Prairie,
Hennepin County as follows:
WHEREAS, PLAN A is totally unfair to the Village with its present
6 , 938 residents (approximately 1 . 200 homes) . $300 per home per year
(under Plan A) is an unreasonable burden for a community the size of
Eden Prairie an4 its present stage of development.
WHEREAS, PLANS B and C are more advantageous to the Village of
Eden Prairie from a cost standpoint and are more in line with the costs
developed under the old SSSD formula.
WHEREAS, PLAN D cannot be accepted for the same reason stated
in Plan A. The Village considers this Plan unfair to the community
because in 1971 Eden Prairie was billed for approximately 45% of the
reserve capacity for the interceptor construction in. service area 4 .
Based on the statistics and engineering facts developed for the old
SSSD Plan we object to this method of cost allocation in terms of
population. "Population" in some degree , denotes "Use" of these
facilities . In the Design Year 2050 Eden Prairie population, in relation
to the population of the SSSD was 23 .3% and for the Design Year 2000 ,
1 S.4% . The Village finds it difficult to understand vrhy we were assigned
a reserve capacity of 45% .
THEREFORE, in fairness to Eden Prairie and other communities in the
District, we request that you compare the total coat to communities of
similar size, population and land areas and anticipated population.
ADOPTED By the Village Council on August 10 , 1971.
