108` COUNCIL MEETING September 23, 1985 Page Six B. Rice Creek Watershed District Request for Petition - Mr. Haw- kins has received a letter from the City Engineer outlining the scope of the project and explaining the difference between a re- pair and an improvement project. Mr. Toddie feels this request should be a petition for a repair based on the repair statute. If the City petitioned for an improvement, there is a possibility of assessments to the benefiting landowners. Mr. Marier moved that Mr. Hawkins file a petition for ditch repair for County Ditch #22 with the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. UPDATE - A -WELL, PAUL WOLTERS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PETE KLUEGEL Mr. Kluegel was requested by the Council to monitor Mr. Wolters' progress in conforming to all the provisions of his Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Mr. Kluegel said Mr. Wolters has completed the fencing and has planted lilacs. He has asked Mr. Wolters to in- stall further fencing. This is not required in the CUP, however he feels it should be installed. He has completed all the require- ments of his CUP. ENGINEERS REPORT A. Council Authorization - Investigation, Wilson Lawsuit. Mr. Toddie requested Council authorization to perform a study which would determine if the Wilson property could be used as a storm water retention area after Mr. Wilson has mined approximately 200,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of peat from the property. After the study is complete, the Council would have to authorize Mr. Hawkins and himself to develop a concept for presentation to Mr. Wilson. He is specifically requesting authorization to develop a scope of services and approximate cost to conduct this study. Mr. Marier said the Department of Natural Resources should have input in this study. Mr. Toddie said he would request input from Rice Creek Watershed District and the Corps of Engineers as well. Mr. Hawkins noted five acres of Mr. Wilson's land would be involved in this proposal and study. Mr. Marier moved to authorize the investigation and have the engin- eer give the Council an estimated cost. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION #85 -20, AMENDING 1985 BUDGET Mr. Schumacher explained the City Charter requires that if the budget exceeds its original adoption it must go before the Council for amendment. Two areas of the budget exceed the original budget; police salaries due to the union contract and insurance which is due to the unusually large increase in premiums.
