Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Attached is a memo from the City Engineer related to further evaluation of the Sculley Drainage issue. <br />From our meeting with the various regulatory agencies, it became evident they did not feel changes were <br />warranted at this time given available information. They did indicate a willingness to work with us <br />should we feel changes are necessary. <br />To continue pursuit of a solution the City Council was seeking, more data is necessary. To that end, the <br />City Engineer has put together a proposal to gather some additional information. Without this <br />information, I feel confident in saying no changes will occur in the affected area. I must also caution the <br />Council that even with this data, changes may not be warranted. However, the conclusion would be more <br />subjective without it. <br />Therefore, I would recommend we authorize this study if we are to follow through on the commitment we <br />made to our residents. This recommendation is with the understanding that we can not guarantee <br />substantial changes (removal of the berm, improved drainage patterns, reduced wetland impact) will <br />occur as a result of this effort. Furthermore, if it can be shown improvements are possible, no other entity <br />has yet committed to participate. <br />cc: City Engineer <br />Cliff Aichinger, Ramsey/Washington Metro Watershed District <br />Page 33 <br />
