He <br />feels this is more of a regional issue. <br />City Administrator Ulrich commented that there is so many variables that affect the ground level <br />and a good solution is to have them petition this as a public improvement project. <br />Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer Olson is suggesting doing more research into <br />which the issue and cause is. <br />Vice Chair Elvig thinks this is an aesthetic issue. <br />Councilmember Tossey comments there is a lot of different reasons for this and he doesn't think <br />we should take any responsibility for this. <br />The consensus of the Committee was to have staff instruct the resident on the City's petition <br />process for public improvements, and have them perform the leg work to see if there is <br />consensus in the neighborhood on the need for such a project. <br />Case #5.7' Consider Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Grant for Wellhead <br />Protection Implementation <br />City Engineer reviewed the staff report and is asking are willing to accept funds to implement <br />our wellhead protection under this grant and staff time is not reimbursed. <br />Elvig asked what the perimeter is. <br />Himmer responded it is all around our well fields and we are required to do this anyway. <br />Public Works Committee / January 18, 2011 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />
