PAUL Council reviewed the Park & Recreation Commission's WATER recommendation that the wetland area owned by the St. DEPARTMENT Paul Water Department in the Rice/Spruce Street area PROPERTY be retained under County ownership rather than City ownership. Morelan suggested if there is buildable land in this wetland area, the City may want to look into acquiring that land. It was the consensus of the Council that City staff should determine whether or not there is buildable land as part of this wetland area. If not, the City's position would be that the ownership of this area be transferred to Ramsey County. If there is buildable land, then that information should be brought back to the Council and the matter considered further. 24
