TI TS ICATI
Manager Willis reviewed Deltak Corporation's request for
industrial development revenue bond financing and introduced
Denis Csathy, president of Deltak Cowporation,
Mr. Csathy explained his present facilities are not adequate
for his fast-growing company and do not give him access to
railroad transportation which is no!essary to his business.
The land in the Reinhard plat would satisfy all his requirements.
He explained the nature of the heart recovery systems lie manufactures
and the company's potential for growth and their long range plans
for the futare. He answered Counr:i1's questions on the company's
present sallts figures and financial status.
Mayor Hilde reviewed with the Council what the City's exposure
would be in this venture,
Attorney Lefler stated that the bonds would be secured by a first
mortgage on the realty and buildings of the company, Trustees
would represent bond holders in financial dealings and if the company
were to default on mortgage p/4yments, full faith and credit of the
City of Plymouth is not pledged and the general revenues of the City
would not be called upon to pay off the bonds. Bond holder.; would
have the same rights as any nortgagee in any other real estate trans-
action and would be able to liquidate the property, but the City of
Plymouth would not be obligiited,
Mayor Hilde asked if the 01ty had any indirect exposure.
Attorney Lefler replied Oe only way the City could in the least be
injured is that we are, in effect, lending the City's credit, but
this does not. affect our rating with Mootiy's Investor Service.

SITE ON NON -HARD -SURFACED AREA (A-449).
Motion carried on a Roll Call vote, fife ayes.
Manager Willis reviewed the status of site selection for Water
Storsge Reservoir No. 4 and Council's direction from the Council
meeting of February 2. He explair;ed that because the property
owners of the designated sites refused to let the City take soil
borings. it would be necessary for tho City to commence condemna-
tion proceedings for the site to ottaic the right to enter upon
the property to take the necessary sell borings. TO site selocted
is site SP -3 (see Report on Water Storitje Reservoir, Project 605).
owned by William Driscoll.
Mayor Hilde requested Jim 04on, crns,ulting engineer, to review the
feasibility of constructing a grou'hd storage reservoir on one of
the selected sites.
Mr. Olson illustrated tho difi°erences between the ground sto ige and
standpipe systems. He elstimatud the cysts of constructing a round
storage system as outlined in the report, but on a similar site,
would probably not exceec 10 percent o -'i the cost indicated in the
report. However, if the ground storage system was located outside
of the designated area as shown in the Water Distribution System
Report, dated 1572, the costs fur the lines leadirg into the system
would be rtreatly increased and the 0f.6,tiveness of the system could
be decreased, substantially.

James Lan 1505 Xanthus 1 Ane, representing Ruth Aul t o William Driscoll,
s
Cargi 1 l KIcKi l lan, Or.. Honry Porter and Dr. Peter Strand, requested on
behalf of his const'ltuekie that the inAitution of condemnation proceedings
be tabled for 30 dais. They felt it was premature to act in such a drastic
manner before a cost.4 nefit analysis had been done. The property owners
felt the direction pf Council at the meting on February 2 gave them one
month to resolve the,matter and the pr(iperty owner had not been given
adequate notice of the institution of proc"dings in eminent domain.
They also felt no time would be saved ' a going ahead A th these legal
proceedings.
Henry Porter, 1605 Xenthus Lane, state+ the need for the water reservoir
canes from further development of pres.ntly undeveloped land. He asked
Council to take into c uisideratior the: visual effect in the neighborhood
when considering the sig and type of structure to be constructed. He
felt the alternatives for meeting the City's needs for a water reservoir
have not been fully examined. He wondered if, in fact, this reservoir is
to be built for the benefit of land yet to be developed, why it must be
placed on existing and long-term residential property in a fully develped
neighborhood. He asked for the opportunity to work with City officials to
explore location of a reservoir closer to the primary beneficiary, which
appears to be the Elwell property devevelopment, so that benefits and
difficulties may be more clearly matched. He felt it would be an opportunity
to build facilities for undeveloped land on undevelrped land.
The Mayor explained that this is not a drastic action being taken, but it
is taken only beclu.c the property owners would not permit soil borings
to be taken to fulfil Council's direction. The eminent domain proceedings
are being initiated,in order that the City may be allowed to have access
it) get the soil borirgs to determine if this site is feasible for construc-
tion of a reser-voir.
Attorney Lefler explained that once this legal action was initiated, the
Council must take further action to stop or interrupt the proceedings.
Assuming that a court, would approve the City's petition, they would then
enter an order which would include appointment of commissioners to appraise
damage to the property and value of the property being taken and provide
the commipsioners with 180 days in which to make these determinations,
In order to stop the proceedings, the action must he withdrawn.
Mayor Hilde stated `urther that in 1969 the City made a commitment to go
into the sewer and water business, replacing individual neighborhood
systems and the private N;nneapolis Industrial Park system, to provide
c'tizens with better service and fire protection and allow for further
commercial and industrial development. In 197 plans were finalized
for a City Water Distribution Systs, providing the most efficient dis-
tribution on a City-wide basis, In this elan, all the water reservoirs
are inter-cnnnected and none operate for the benefit of one particular
neighborhood or development. Therefore, we are unable to match the
benefits and difficulties of a water reservoir to any particular neigh-
borhood, The City has rEceived many cotrulaints about the poor supply
and pressure of water to existing residents of Plymouth. In order to
provide adequate service to residents, we must add Water Reseovoir No. 4
to the City's Water Distribution System as provided for in the t-,.j,!neering
plans.

There followed a lengthy discussion of the size and cost of a ground
reservoir versus the size and added architectural costs in making a
standpipe as unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing as pWasible.
Manager Willis stated he would report back to Council wife tn„ results
of the soil borings as soon as access is available to thl propirty and
at that time he would also report. on tho potential treatha'nt of tns,
aesthetics of a, standpipe and the cost involved.
