City Engineer Himmer said the culverts had been mapped out and will be cleaned. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to award a contract to Dry Excavating in the amount of $28,026 for City project 10 -24; wetland 656W outlet. Motion carried.

Voting No: None. 7.03: Consider Request to Purchase a Drainage and Utility Easement at 7319162' Lane NW City Engineer Himmer reviewed the staff report and read a letter from residents Terrance and Betty Belschner regarding their easement application. City Attorney Goodrich explained this was a standard offer for acceptance that was referenced in the letter; however, the offer was never signed and the term is incomplete. The City did not sign this paper on the bottom, nor did the Council approve it. Therefore, this is not a binding offer and the courts would say that too much time has passed. Councilmember Wise clarified if the question is the dollar amount, or whether they can still be paid for their easement. City Engineer Himmer answered it is not about the dollar amount. The offer was made in the past, and the offer said to contact the City when they are ready. City Council / February 8, 2011 Page 7 of 10
