Mayor Coulter, Councilmen Hill, Bennyhoff, Pearson, and Klingelhutz
met with several members of the Tel- E -Lect Company for an informational
meeting on the operations of Tel- E -Lect.
Attorney Larson and Engineer Flatebo were present. Mr. Jim Hawks
from Midwest Planning made the presentation for Tel- E -Lect. A
letter from Tel- E -Lect of which the presentation was based is
attached.
Irvin Engler, Architect for Tel- E -Lect presented an artist's sketch
on the new building. Tel- E -Lect emphasized that these plans were
illustrative but not firm. Such things as screening, air polution,
noise, sewer and water services, etc. were discussed.
Mayor Coulter polled each Councilman for their views on the proposed
operation and site. Councilman Bennyhoff stated he thought the
site would be very desirable for this type of operation. Councilman
Hill was not in favor. Councilman Pearson stated that if the
polution and noise can be controlled he can see no problem.
Councilman Klingelhutz stated he was well pleased with the plans.
Mayor Coulter stated he can see no problems.
Mayor Coulter then asked Attorney Larson, Engineer Flatebo, Ed
Hjermstad, Nicholas Waritz, Park and Recreation members and Eden
Prairie members to make a recommendation in writing on or before
February 5, 1968, as to their feelings on the Tel- E -Lect proposed
operation and site.
The Council stated that no decision would be made tonight, the final
decision will be made at the February 5, 1968, Council meeting.
Tel- E -Lect stated they wanted two things from this Council. (1) Get
in writing that the property in concern is zoned Industrial and (2)
that the bonded indebtedness on the Municipal Building be borne by
the entire new Village.
Each Councilman expressed his views as to how he feels the Bonded
Indebtedness should be paid off. Councilman Pearson feels it should
be borne by the entire new Village. Councilman Klingelhutz feels
that this Council should pass a resolution so that the Bonded
Indebtedness is borne by everyone in the new Village. Councilman
Bennyhoff feels that everyone should pay toward the building.
Councilman Hill can see no reason why the old Village should absorb
the cost of the building because everyone is benefiting from it.
Mayor Coulter feels that this should be borne by all parties
benefiting from the building.
The meeting adjourned.
