Mr. Locher reported on a complaint from Mr. Tony Favorite about the drain- age ditches along Old Highway # 8. He said that his yard is a pond when there 4s a heavy rainfall. Mr. Locher had contacted Mr. Rude, County Engineer, who said he knew of the problem and he would check it out. Mr. Locher reported there are monies availabe for work on this road and he felt that the Council should contact the County as to their plans for corrections of this problem. Mr. McLean wondered if the Rice Creek Watershed District did not have jurisdiction over this problem. Mr. Marier felt that they have jurisdiction over all ditches regardless where they are located. He suggested a letter to Anoka County asking that they follow up on the complaint and inform the City Council as to their plans for that street. Mr. Locher suggested copies of the letter be sent to Mr. Facorite, Mr. Cichy and Mr. Ross. The rating sheets that had been completed by Mr. Myhre for selection of the full time policemen was discussed . Mr. Jaworski had completed a rating sheet for Mr. Myhre but Mayor Bohjanen had not. Mr. McLean felt that a special meeting should be scheduled for the consider- ation of these men. He also, ..sked that they be scheduled at 15 minute inter- vals in order for the Council to have time with each-man. The next Councilimeeting will be held on November 12, 1974 due to the Holiday on November 11,1974.

Mr. Forest Tagg was in thejaudience. He had been contacted by the County Park Department informing him that they will be condemning his property for the Chain of Lakes Parks. His home is included in_the planned acquisition. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Tagg if his Attorney had researched the minutes of the Open Space Hearings.

The Clerk was asked to make copies of these minutes for Mr. Tagg. Mr. McLean had talked to Mr. Askew and felt that the County was working ,form 'a different map.
