Motion carried. Business Two residents, Jim and Muoi Duhl, attended the meeting to discuss concerns they have. They live at 2415 Lexington. They have been living in Roseville approximately 10 years but have ongoing trouble with neighbors and Roseville personnel. Muoi immigrated from Vietnam in 1979 and feels at times a language barrier. They said the situation with neighbors centers around trespassing and excessive water run off from the neighbor's rerouted rain gutters. Mrs. Duhl said she came to City Hall and explained her difficulties. She said the Police spoke to neighbors and the trespassing stopped. Regarding the water run off, Muoi stated that the city engineer came to their property to investigate the complaints about water run off and the expansion of a patio. The Duhls claim they were told there were no actions the City could take and the City suggested civil court as an option if there was sufficient financial cost due to water run off. Muoi said she received a letter from the City Manager that she was unhappy about. The Duhls expressed animosity and a general feeling of an unhealthy environment regarding their neighbors. The Duhls expressed dissatisfaction in interaction with city personnel. Mrs. Duhl alleges that when trying to apply for a wild animal trap a Community Service Officer entered the office and ripped up her paperwork. Commissioners Scott Higbee and Commissioner Crump suggested that the Commission must stick to events that the HRC could give suggestions on. 1
