made a recommendation to retain Hakanson Anderson to prepare plans and specifications for the project. Councilmember Anderson asked about the Anoka County response and if they were right. City Engineer Jankowski stated Anoka County essentially advised the City to not issue a building permit on a particular lot that had been the recipient of water in the past. He reviewed the direction of drainage in this particular area and noted this was a lot of record without a drainage easement so the City did not have the right to deny a buil~ihg permit.
