Motion to Approve the Rice Creek Watershed District Maintenance Agreement for the 2015 Pavement Management Program Councilmember Holmes asked for clarification on how the City was maintaining its rain gardens. She understood that the City owned rain gardens were under contract for maintenance. She feared that the residents who volunteered to have rain gardens were not being properly maintained. Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka believed the residents who volunteered to have rain gardens did not have private agreements in place between the property owner and the City. However, she stated she could investigate this matter further and would report back to the Council. Kristy Elfering, Elfering & Associates, stated the rain gardens are in the public right of way and noted there were no agreements in place between the City and the volunteer residents. Councilmember Holmes was pleased with the fact that seasonal maintenance workers would be reviewing and maintaining the rain gardens (if needed) this summer.
