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 that time, the City was infonned 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 requested an evaluation of the ponds to be completed by Mr. <br />Peterson prior to arranging any maintenance schedule. <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.
