Mr. Post, who owns the Sunset Motel and is part of this drainage project, also one of the signers on the petition, appeared before Council stating he doesn't want to be part of the project due to the costs involved. He said he is the 3rd highest assessed cost and he has no benefit and doesn't contribute to the drainage problem. He knew that Mr. Grosslein had a problem with drainage and signed the petition to help him. Mayor Gamec stated that there has been a drainage problem in this area. Mr. Grosslein indicated that Mr. Post had signed a blank petition and did not have a chance to come to the meeting and he can see his point and that Engineer Raatikka should check to see how much water does come off his land onto Tungsten. Engineer Raatikka said it appears that a lot of Mr. Post's drainage goes onto Grosslein property. Mrs. Dickenson said she feels if the ditches and culverts were repaired there would not be a problem. Councilman Cox said a determination should be made for proportionate payment of benefitting property owners. Engineer Raatikka said he could take a topo study and review the spreading of costs to see if there is no watershed from Mr. Post's property onto someone else's property. Administrator Schnelle stated that all petitioners were notified prior to the 5/29/79 meeting for this improvement. And, that the petitioners stated that 100 percent of the people involved for the project were on the petition in favor of the project. They were all notified so they could be at the meeting.
