- 023. COUNCIL MEETING March 10, 1986 Page Five Mr. Marier suggested that the City Administrator draw up the crit- eria the Committee should be involved in and then bring this to the Council for its review. He felt the proposal from Ms. Apitz was too ambiguous. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to put together criteria for a Review Board with citizen input. Mr. Schumacher said he would like to model this after the present policies the City has dealing with citizen committees. ENGINEER'S REPORT A. Circle Pines Joint Watei Service Agreement - Mr. Toddie has received a letter from Circle Pines indicating they would provide water to the Rice Lake Area for 55 per 1,000 gallons. He felt this was a reasonable rate. He also noted that Circle Pines is preparing a draft water service agreement. Mr. Schumacher said that Mr. Volk is concerned about litigation re- garding contaminated wells and requested language be put in the agreement regarding the responsibility of contaminated wells. The City Attorney has reviewed this draft agreement and had no problem with it. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to note the items to be changed in the agreement including Mr. Volk's suggestion regarding contaminated wells and suggested that when the Circle Pines Draft Agreement ar- rives this can be given to the City Attorney for his comments and be brought forward to the next Council Meeting for Council review. B. Rice Creek Watershed District Funding for County Ditch #22, and C. 4th Avenue NSP Funding Policy - Mr. Toddie noted the work session held earlier this evening and reminded the Council of the Citizen Informational Hearing to be held Monday, March 24, 1986 at 7:35 P.M. Mayor Benson asked that it be determined prior to the Informational Meeting exactly what the Rice Creek Watershed District is going to commit to, what the County will commit to and what is the Developer's (Nelson Properties) fair share. Was the Developer able to develop more land than he should have developed? Has the City and the new home owners been hurt by this? Mr. Bohjanen asked if Mr. Toddie could determine how far of an area can this improvement benefit property owners. Mr. Toddie explained there are two areas involved. One area involves the storm water drainage along 4th Avenue and the other is a much larger area bene- fited by the ditch maintenance project.
