515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />July 21, 1995 <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Kathy Glanzer, Administrative Assistant <br />RE: St. Paul Water Department Property <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scaize <br />Jim IaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISI HATOR <br />Joel R Hanson <br />The Board of Water Commissioners has recommended that their <br />wetland property, adjacent to the two sites they are planning to <br />sell along Rice and Spruce Streets, remain in the public <br />ownership. The Board has asked whether or not the City was <br />interested in the ownership of this wetland, or if the County <br />should be given ownership. <br />Staff has checked with the Watershed to determine if they have an <br />interest in owning the wetland. Cliff Aichinger indicated since <br />the area is a designated wetland under their regulation, they are <br />not concerned about the ownership of the property. Cliff <br />indicated the County has ownership of many other wetlands of this <br />nature. <br />At Wednesday's meeting, Council should determine whether the City <br />is interested assuming ownership of the wetland. If not, the <br />Board of Water Commissioners will approach the County on the <br />issue. The Parks and Recreation Commission may want to comment <br />on this as well. <br />Page 72 <br />
