Mr. Jim Battenberg inquired as to ths co$~t of a permanent drainage system and <br />will it just be for ths'lowlands or for ths'entire City. <br /> <br />Mayor Heitman stated that he cannot address that issue at this time; Mr. Battenberg <br />can get those answers from the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Mrs. Back stated that the pond in her area does not flow into anything and inquired <br />as to what she should do; she pumps her basement to the pond and it flows right <br />back into the house. <br /> <br />Mayor Heitma~ suggested that Mrs. Back take some preventive action to correct the <br />problem. Mayor Heitman stated that he will not address technical questions and <br />will not have the City Engineer do so; it leads to a legal cycle. <br /> <br />Mrs. Back inquired if the City will pump the pond. <br /> <br />Mayor Heitman replied that the City will try prevent the problems, if the City can. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that the City cannot guarantee solving all the problems <br />but will try to alleviate as many problems as possible with the equipment the <br />City will have in the near future. Council will not give direction to have the <br />City pumping homes all the time; homeowners must take some of the responsibility. <br /> <br />John Delameter - 15030 - Asked what the City's recommendation would be to the <br />homeowners for a solution. <br /> <br />Mayor Heltman stated that Council and Staff cannot make any recommendations; it <br />would be a legally binding statement. <br /> <br />Dr. Hartman stated that pumping the area of 149th could add to his water problems. <br /> <br />Mayor Heitman replied that the City is watching that situation very closely. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox requested that City Engineer contact the County about property <br />on the east side of the Huseby property, which is currently a County park, to see <br />if a swail can be put there to drain water to the river. <br /> <br />Council requested that City Engineer develop a plan and schedule for those areas <br />to be pumped; supply Council with a copy of that plan and schedule; post a copy <br />of the schedule at City Hall; notify those properties that the City cannot help <br />by letter. <br /> <br />Mr. Glen Zettervall - Stated that his area is not proposed to be pumped; there is <br />no place to pump the water; this has been an ongoing problem since April; will <br />the City provide us a place to pump water to. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that the City will request that DNR blast the damn at <br />Trott Brook. <br /> <br />Mr. Darryl Fults - Lot of people in Ramsey are pumping and will continue to do so <br />if the City provides a place to pump to. <br /> <br />Case #6: Poles For Lighting At Central Park: <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that Elk River Concrete has some concrete poles for sale. <br /> <br />October 10, 1985 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
