COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 13, 1998 Council Member Bergeson asked if the project will be progressed far enough for the bank to open on time. Mr. Ahrens indicated the City will meet the time frame required for the bank to open as planned. Mayor Sullivan thanked staff for addressing the ponding and aesthetics regarding this project. She asked how the ponding is tracked. Mr. Ahrens explained that the policy regarding ponding is no new net run- off from pre-development to post development. Ponding has always been an option to take care of additional run-off. The RCWD is involved with ponding issues. Council Member Lyden expressed concern regarding the increased volume of water with ponding. Mr. Ahrens explained that the RCWD has acknowledged the increased volume of water and had developed new standards to lower the volume of water. Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 102, including the northwest pond option, as presented. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
