He has a signed petition from the other <br />homeowners, and they are looking for the pond to be repaired. He asked if there are funds being <br />held from Arcon by the City that are due towards their pond. He stated the pond is lined and it is <br />obviously not holding water; he has documentation to prove that. <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Klink, 15390 Xkimo Street NE, stated this pond started out at an upper level. It was <br />approximately four to five feet higher when he moved in three years ago. They intentionally <br />bought this walkout lot to enjoy the pond. Since the pond has gone down it does not naturally <br />have the growth it should have, and instead there are a lot of weeds on the shore. There is a leak <br />in the pond. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig inquired ifthere are Arcon funds being held by the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Rothburn stated their understanding is that the City is holding some of Arcon's money <br />because all the homes are not sold yet. Their intention is to try to work with the City to get this <br />resolved. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee I July 17, 2007 <br />Page 1 of 12 <br />
