We should see the <br />project is completed properly. <br /> <br />Resident Marie Pierce asked if they go% another engineer to prove the <br />road isn't right, would they have to pay the engineer cost. Mayor <br />Gamec replied yes. <br /> <br />Resident Mike Cameron asked is there a law stating if you give me <br />more water then I have I will be compensated for it. Mayor Game¢ <br />stated I think so. <br /> <br />Dorothy ST~th from Westphal Construction commented she thinks there <br />is a better way to solve this problem. Mayor Gamec suggested <br />the Cotuncil and Engineer should consider dry wells. The City <br />would hold another public hearing. City Engineer had mentioned <br />dry wells are a possibility and best alternative. <br /> <br />Resident Dennis Morawctznsky stated he takes about 20 times more <br />water than his neighbor and wanted to know how the Engineer determined <br />the water would go on other side of the street. <br /> <br />Resident Mrs. Cameron asked why does the City want to stay away from <br />dry wells.
