AGENDA ITEMS A. Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Ramsey County Ditch No.4 Kyle Axtell, Rice Creek Watershed District Project Manager explained the Rice Creek Watershed District is proposing improvements to Ramsey County Ditch No. 4 (RCD 4) which is a drainage system located within Roseville, Falcon Heights and Arden Hills. A very small portion of the ditch runs through the southwest corner of Arden Hills and drains into Lake Johanna. He is requesting a resolution from the Council allowing them to proceed with the improvements for this project and also for Ditch Nos. 3 and 5 which they hope to improve in three to five years. Arden Hills cost for RCD 4 would be minimal at $266.52 that would be charged in 2021. The improvements would include replacing the ditch with a pipe. Mayor Grant asked if more water would drain into Lake Johanna. Mr. Axtell replied that the run off rate and volume of water flow would mimic what is happening today and would actually provide a slight decrease in 100-year flood levels. He noted that as Rosedale has redeveloped and they have installed underground water treatments.
