8 to pay a full assessment. As far as the water standing over there in front of 621 sohool district, there's water that stands there a while, but it takes one heck of a rain and it doesn't take much for it to dissipate. So I'm in opposition where I'll be paying this and get no benefit. I'm against it. MR. PETER SCHIFSKY, 3082 North Hamline: I guess what I have to say is that when it rains we have one of the most efficient storm sewers there - the upper green line running into Josephine and several times I wish I could find some of the oil that came off the street and went into the lake. I do admire the improved storm sewer system on Clarmar, but would like to know what we would have to do in order to induce some cooperation between the city and county to get a holding pond so we don't leave Lake Josephine as a holding pond. MR. HONCHELL: As far as inducing (inaudible) we would like to hope the county would cooperate. There's nothing I know of we can do to force them. It would be the same with the necessary easement near the lake. The facility we would hope to put there - we would hope the people who own the property would recognize the value this would have on the lake and would cooperate, but other than desiring it and trying to talk to them and work out some solution, we didn't feel it correct that we would mandate it. MR. SCHIFSKY: You have our total cooperation, I think, in that aspect. We're swimming in oil at times so who would I address at the county level to have something done? MR. HONCHELL: If this improvement were carried out we would be going to the county's engineering department to see if they would give us a permit to do work on their facility. Hopefully it wouldn't be necessary to go to the County Board. MR. RONALD BARTZ, 1499 Clarmar: I also am like the man from Area F. I would derive no benefit, but I'm not in opposi- tion. For clarification on the money - Mr. Popovich mentioned a figure. Is he talking about A, B, C all in one group? Then why is it designated as one area? I would assume you're assuming one part may not be done. A may be done, not C. Is it a whole new picture? MR. HONCHELL: We simply label them that way to be able to internally identify where water came from. In other words, which lots, how much water we would expect to go to certain pipes, where catch basins would be needed. We did that so we could size each individual pipe properly and we were assuming this would be an area storm drain. MR. BARTZ: So it will be a project or not - not a half a project.
