LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 2-19-85 PAGE 5 add pumping out of Sunfish back onto City owned property. The only way to get anything done is to petition the VBWD to do this. It looks at his point to be feasible - based on the report by t6ieVBWD engineer. However, the danger to the City is that if we do petition and the Board of Managers votes not to order the project or not to do this, we would be stuck with the cost up to that point, which could amount to up to $5000. The Coucil will most likely be faced with the decision very quickly as to whether or not it wants to take a $5000 risk and get thisproject started, or do nothing and see the pumping into the Park stopped and consequently damage the homes on Lake Jane.; or start the pumping and probably be faced with a lawsuit from the residents on Sunfish. The point is, it is feasible to dispose of the amount of water that needs to be disposed onto City land, probably with not much damage to the land, but we would have to risk the petition process. 8.
