Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 25, 2010 Page 2 the one resident supporting the noise wall, as well as those properties either va- cant or with data unavailable. Ray McDonald, 2241 Marion Street Mr. McDonald, assisting Ms. French, asked that the wall end slightly before Marion Street as indicated on the aerial map, not including Caliber Ridge, who will be providing their own presentation at a future City Council meeting, based on Mr. McDonald's discussions with their Executive Director. Mayor Klausing thanked residents for their presentation, the information and their testimony, and clarified the request of the residents for the City Council to modify their original resolution supporting the noise wall as part of this MnDOT project, making that recommendation based on what the neighborhood supported. Mayor Klausing advised that staff would prepare additional information for consideration by the City Council at the next City Council meeting, and invited spokespeople of the Capitol View residents to submit .any additional information to staff; and di- rected staff to notice Ms. French and Mr. McDonald on behalf of the neighbor- hood of that meeting date and time. b. Bobbie Carpenter, 410 McCarrons Boulevard S Ms. Carpenter advised that her sanitary sewer line had repeatedly frozen, with sewage backing up into her basement at extensive personal cost to her. Ms. Car- . penter advised that the backup had occurred again on February 13, 2009, with more damage. Ms. Carpenter noted that Public Works Director Duane Schwartz had been most helpful and sympathetic to her, but she was unable to get any rem- edy or resolution in contacting other agencies (i.e., Rice Creek Watershed Dis- trict, Ramsey County Public Works, the State Attorney General's office; and the Roseville City Council). Ms. Carpenter advised that she was continually told that this was not their issue and they referred her elsewhere. Ms. Carpenter sought fi- nancial assistance for this approximate $6,000 out-of-pocket expense. Mayor Klausing received documentation of the bills to-date and a record of the sewer back-ups, provided as a bench handout to each Councilmember and City Manager Malinen. Mayor Klausing asked that staff and the City Attorney review the information and the situation, and asked that Ms. Carpenter allow the City Council time for due diligence prior to their response to her. 4.
