MINUTES CITY Council June 11, 1980 The Attorney reported that it was his feeling that this was a private matter between the Lang's and Pugaczewski's and the City should not be involved. Molted The Attorney reported that he found that years ago Ditch 16 was Gervais Matter Creek. The County took over this creek as ditch X16 several years ago. The Attorney stated that when the ditch was cleaned, the City tried to get a construction easement from Mr. Molted, but Mr. Molted would not grant the easement as he wanted the direction of the ditch changed and the City would not do it. Therefore, the City went on the Mosted property and cleaned the ditch without an easement. The Attorney stated that the statutes of limitation has run out on any trespassing violations the City may have made. Parks further reported that when he informed Mr. Mosted that the City could not do anything for him, Mr. Mosted informed him that he would see the City in court. Parks stated that he will inform Mr. Mosted's attorney of the situation. Councilman Fahey stated that if Mr. Mosted sues the City, the City can claim the suit was brought in bad faith and try to recoup its attorney fees. Condominium The City Clerk reported that the Planning Commission must review the Ordinance Condominium Ordinance before the Council should act on it.

Frank Mayor Flanson reported that the Building Inspector red-tagged Frank Jones Jones' house and this forced Mr. Jones to remove the fill which he Property illegally dumped on the property. Costa- The Attorney reported that Mr. Stenger has contacted Mrs. Costa and Stenger has made some offers to her for solving their problems. Mr. Stenger Matter is letting Mrs. Costa think about the offers. The Attorney stated that he informed Mrs. Costa and Mr. Stenger that their's was a private problem and the City was not involved.
