COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 13,1998 Triangle lot on Peltier Lake - Lot on Main Street - Originally designed as access to Peltier Lake for all the residents in Rehbein's Peltier View. Now that the lot is tax forfeit, the DNR will not allow the lot to return to private ownership again. This lot was created when Anoka County redesigned the curves on Main Street. The landowner behind the lot uses the lot as access to Main Street. She is in the process of obtaining title to the parcel. Ms. Anderson stated that Anoka County is in the process of designating these parcels of land for sale at a public auction. Ms. Anderson recommended the City obtain title to all of the outlots in the Birch Wood Acres subdivision so that the City can continue to maintain the ponds and trails on them. She also recommended the City obtain title to the outlots in Rehbein's Peltier View so the ponds on those lots can be maintained by the City. The City Engineer has recommended the City obtain title to Lot 14, Arthur E. Thom Acres (the lot north of the bus garage) since the City has a sewer force main that crosses the lot from east to west and may place additional utilities on the lot in the future. Council Member Bergeson moved to request title of the outlots in the Birch Wood Acres subdivision, the outlots in Rehbein's Peltier View, and Lot 14, Arthur E. Thom Acres. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Consideration of Additional Allocation of Funding for the June 26, 1998, Storm, David Pecchia - Mr. Pecchia stated that a storm with very strong straight line winds occurred in the City on Friday, June 26, 1998. The Council allocated $70,000 for funding the cleanup. The City is now in the last week of cleanup from this storm and cleanup costs are running well above the $70,000 appropriated for this project. Mr. Pecchia requested that the Council authorize another $100,000 to complete the cleanup from the second storm. He noted he will attend a meeting on July 14, 1998, to request Federal Funding for this storm cleanup. Council Member Bergeson asked if the City has a backup plan to pay for the storm damage if Federal Funding is not received. Mr. Pecchia indicated that the City has allocated two (2) funds for the two (2) storms from the Contingency Fund. Council Member Bergeson moved to allocate another $100,00 for the second storm cleanup. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 12
