Upon motion duly made by Supervisor Klein and seconded by Supervisor
Schwanz, it was RESOLVED upon the recommendation of the town engineer, to
award the contract for Temporary Sewage Treatment Plant #2 to ~~ S. McCrossan
for a total of $29,047.65 and that the appropriate town officers be
authorized to execute the construction contracts.
The town attorney discussed with the Board the matter of utility
franchises and various aspects of providing gas and electric power to
portions of Eagan Township. It was pointed out that both Northern States
Power and People's Natural Gas Company desire to provide gas service,
principally to Univac and the Rauenhorst Development in the Northern part
of the township; also that~thern States Power Company desired to furnish
electricity as did Dakota County Electric Co-operative. It was noted that
Peoples' Natural Gas Company already had gas lines in or near the vicinity
of Univac and the Rauenhorst Development whereas no lines for gas had been
installed as yet in Eagan Township by Northern States Power Company. The
town attorney stated again that there is a difference of opinion as to
the legality of townships granting franchises but that in his opinion,
under its special village powers, Eagan does have the right to regulate
utilities and that if a show-down came as between utility companies it was
possible that a lawsuit would result. Upon motion duly made by Supervisor
Klein and seconded by Supervisor Schwanz, it was RESOLVED to table any
further action on this matter until the next meeting of the Board at which
time it was hoped that the action would be taken by the full Board, Chairman
Rahn being absent due to illness.
Upon motion duly made by Supervisor Klein and seconded by Supervisor
Schwanz, it was RESOLVED that the Township post bonds for the town clerk
and town treasurer each in the amount of $25,000.00 pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Annotated Sectinns 367.l0 and 367.15.
