Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Riley, Shryock, Kuzma, LeTourneau, and Williams. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Johns. The public hearing was closed at 7:20 p.m. Council Business Community Development Director Gladhill indicated this is the first he has heard of this potential issue this evening. He said he will work with the property owner. The same easements will go on the property to the north. He explained staff will look at the mound system and verify it is properly constructed. This issue cannot be resolved as part of Council's action at this meeting. This issue could be made a contingency in the motion. Mayor Strommen responded she would feel more comfortable with a contingency. She said the City recognizes there are old drainage utilities and easements, and would like to ensure this does not cause issues. She deferred to the City Attorney for a legal opinion.
