• COUNCIL MEETING STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF ANOKA CITY OF LINO LAKES NOVEMBER 28, 1988 CERTIFICATION I do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution is a true and correct copy of a resolution presented to and adopted by the City of Lino Lakes at a duly authorized meeting thereof held on the twenty eighth day of November, 1988. SEAL Mari yn' .'Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer Ditch Cleaning - Mr. Schumacher said he has been approached several times now and asked why the City is not cleaning ditches since the weather has been so dry and this appears to be the best possible time to do this work. Mr. Volk and Mr. Stahlberg support this idea. The question appears to be, where will the money come from to do the work? Mr. Stahlberg explained that three ditches appear to need work in the near future, the ditch that crosses Birch Street from the east side of Reshanau Lake Estates South, the ditch north of Main Street from 4th Avenue to Pine Street and the ditch west of city hall south of Main Street. Mr. Stahlberg also noted that ditch work will be needed in Section No. 31. Mr. Bohjanen asked if these ditches were in the Rice Creek Watershed District jurisdiction. It was explained that although they were, RCWD has said that they have no money for cleaning or returning them to their original condition. Mr. Bisel said it did not make sense to wait until there is a problem with a ditch before any action is taken. Mayor Benson asked that projected costs be prepared for the above mentioned three ditches and an estimate of when could this work be done. Mrs. Sharpen, 801 Main Street said she and her husband own forty acres and would be willing to pay the cost of cleaning the ditch that runs through their property. There was discussion regarding scheduling the cleanout of certain ditches, survey work needed and possible right of way acquisition. Also the-Council discussed the possibility of asking other agencies to participate in the studies. PAGE 9 1
