j?dINUTES OF SPECIAL BEETING OF THE
EDINA VILLAGE COUNCIL HELD IN VILLAGE
HALL AT 8 P.M. APRIL 22, 1943
President Sharpe'called the meeting to order and three members of
the council were present -- President Sharpe, Trustee Wyatt and
Cle& Hawthorne. Also present for discussion of matkers relating
to fwbure operation of the water system and portions of the sewer system in the village were Village Attorney Karl H. Covell, Attorney Perry Lo Noore, Attorney Thomas Vennwzz and Oscar Gaarden,
president of Country Club Dfstrict Service Coo
Mr. Moore explained the villagets interpretation of the supreme
counrt decision recentlyGrendered in the case of Country Club District Service Co, versus Village of Edina. He said the effect
of the decision is that Country Club District Service Co. does not own any part of the original complete water system installed by
Thorpe Brothers,
Gaarden contended he does own whiitever portion of that original
water system was not paid for by property owners (which he placed at
30 per cent), the Fiftieth street main, the water tank and the land
on which the tank and pump house stand. Gaarden said he is willing to continue to operate the system or to sell his interest to the village.
Vennum. said there is no dispute that, to the extent that ld; owners reimbursed Thorpe Brothers, the system does not belong to Country
Club District Service Co, and that the portion owned by the village
could not be used by Gaarden as a rate base. ,He said the burden of showing to what extent Thorpe Brothers have been rapid rests on the
village and that further court action will be necessar if the vi1 a e contends it wons all of the system which was not actuaby construc $8 B
