8~07 Mayor Gamec left the meeting and Comncilman Reimann chaired the meeting as Actin~ Mayor. City Attorney Goodrich addressed the Council regarding the Dorothy Smith drainage problem. He explained that Mrs. Smith would agree to give an ease- ment to the City for adequate land (_1/5 acre) to construct a ditch at a cost of $950 (the ditch would run from the road to the swamp). It should be noted that this drainage ditch would split Mrs. Smith's property. Motion by Councilman Mickelson and seconded by Councilman Cox to adopt Resolution #20-148 to give $950 to Mrs. Smith in the form of cash in re- duction on her special assessment for blacktop in 1980 in the amount of $950 in consideration for her executing an easement deed to the City, grant- ing the City a 20' wide drainage easement across her property. The specific legal description to be provided by the City Attorney. Also the Council agrees that the ditch will be large enough so that it flows from the front 'to back of Mrs. Smith's lot and so that no drainage from the back swamp area will be able to flow to the front. Motion carried. Voting yes Councilmen Sorteberg, Midkelson, Reimama and Cox. Voting no None. (Mayor Gamec was not present) City Engineer Raatikka discussed the drainage problems on 159th between Ebony and Dolomite which is the Cameron property. City Engineer Raatikka suggested putting in a culvert to equalize the drainage. He said this wouldn't solve the problems, but would equalize the problem - less drain- age onto Cameron's property. Councilman Reiman~ suggested that the property owners on both sides of the road be talked to for the City Engineer to re- port back to the Council at its next meeting.
