Councilmember Pearson stated that it is very important that the people in the City know where <br />the funds come from to develop the parks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook explained that the money comes from park dedication that is paid by <br />developers to the City. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to put together a list of representatives from each of <br />the Commissions to serve on the Committee and bring that forward to the Council for approval. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired as to how the residents will be informed as to what is happening. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that staff can place an article in the Ramsey Resident.

Staff reviewed the drainage submittals explaining that <br />the higher water levels are not being caused by the new development. Staff felt strongly that it <br />was an issue of wound water not surface water. Staff proposed that a limited amount of <br />backyard fill may make the resident's backyard more useable. There was not a consensus <br />between the residents on this issue. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Public Works Committee and the residents was to discuss the issue again in <br />June or July of 2004 and review the water table levels. <br /> <br />2) Consider Ordering 2003 Priority Street Lights <br />The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council authorize the installation of <br />2003 priority streetlights. <br /> <br />3) Authorization to Update the Comprehensive Sewer Plan <br />The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council authorize staff to hire Bolten <br />and Menk at a cost not to exceed $30,000 for completing an update to the Comprehensive Sewer <br />Plan. This $30,000 will be funded by the sewer utility fund. <br /> <br />4) Request for Reimbursement for Deep Sewer Construction <br />The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council reimburse Oakwood Land <br />Development for $36,335 for installation of the trunk sanitary sewer with Wildlife Sanctuary 3rd <br />Addition. <br /> <br />P32 <br /> <br />City Council/October 28, 2003 <br /> Page 14 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
