Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Council authorized that this findings of fact be presented at the special <br />Council meeting scheduled for June 14, 1983. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka Items For Discussion: <br /> <br />a) Drainage Problem on Erkium <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that he and Mr. Mevissen viewed the property and could <br />not find a real defined drainage ditch and to install a ditch would be <br />an extensive project. Mr. Raatikka stated that Burns township also <br />contributes to the problem and they should also be financially responsible. <br /> <br />Jim Martin - 185th and Erkium - Inquired if an adequate study was prepared <br />regarding drainage in the area prior to the street improvements. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that citizenry usually objects to in-depth studies <br />when they find out the costs involved and he also noted that eventually <br />ditches in Ramsey are going to require cleaning because excessive growth <br />has restricted run-off. <br /> <br />Jim Martin - Stated that prior to street improvements there was a natural <br />run-off to the creek and there were no drainage problems. Mr. Martin, <br />and three other homeowners in the subject area, feel that a simple ditch <br />to the creek is all that is needed and they don't feel it would be fair <br />to assess the costs back to them. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Van Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg <br />to order a simple feasibility study researching low cost alternative <br />solutions to the drainage problem on Erkium and report back to Council at <br />their next regular Council meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
