t 10 COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 17, 1989 There was discussion regarding funding the costs of these three ditch improvements. It was suggested to approach RCWD, Anoka County and the developers. It was noted that some of the landowners have already said they would pay their fair share. Mayor Benson suggested that Mr. Stahlberg prepare a map showing ditches that have been cleaned and ditches that still need to be cleaned. There was discussion regarding obtaining easements for ditches. Mr. Hawkins explained the process could take two weeks to four months. He noted that some landowners are not willing to give easements so that the City would have to negotiate a price for the easements. Mayor Benson said the City could do some arm bending on the local RCWD member. Mr. Bisel asked that these three ditch proposals be pursued with RCWD, Anoka County and the developers. Mayor Benson suggested that in the future plat approvals could include making the developer responsible for ditches beyond his property line.
