<br />E-Mailed to Council on 5/3/01 at 11:34 a.m. <br />April 25, 2001 Council Minutes <br /> <br />Mr. March questioned whether the modeling and associated costs were needed as same <br />was completed previously. Mr. Peterson stated it would be dependent upon Rice Creek <br />Watershed, as modifications have been made since 1997. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated that when the City compiled its Comprehensive Plan in 1997, Rice <br />Creek Watershed District had not submitted a plan to the Metropolitan Council. At the <br />time, the City requested that H.R. Green complete a Surface Water Management Plan for <br />review by the Watershed District. At that time, the City was informed that they would <br />have two (2) years following the completion of the Watershed District's Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. March suggested submitting all documentation regarding this matter to Mr. Peterson <br />and letting him determine if additional information is needed. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the funds would be expended <br />from the Water Tower Fund. Mr. March stated that in his opinion, the funds should be <br />expended from the Storm Sewer Fund as the plan relates to drainage. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra stated she would prefer that a pond inventory be completed and a <br />pond maintenance schedule be arranged commencing 2002 and suggested that Mr. <br />Peterson work with Public Works to complete pond maintenance. <br /> <br />Mr. March stated he would like Mr. Peterson to instruct the Public Works Staff on pond <br />maintenance for the pond that has received the most complaints. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg questioned whether there was standard protocol for pond maintenance <br />determined by the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. March indicated that the <br />Watershed District may have standards and stated he would research same. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Capra. seconded by Council Member Broussard <br />Vickers to approve the Surface Water Management Plan for the required work as <br />presented and to submit the current plan to the City Engineer for necessary <br />corrections. All in favor.

Mr. March explained Shea Architects <br />would be focusing on building components around the commercial properties and <br />Bonestroo would provide ala carte streets cape amenities. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she felt there was enough information for a <br />basic meeting with the downtown businesses and residents. <br /> <br />Mr. March suggested holding the meeting in mid-May.
