LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 21, 1995 D. Status of Storm Water Plan Larry Bohrer reported that it was determined in 1993 that we should proceed with a local water management plan. Realizing it couldn't be funded all at once, money would be set aside each year to do certain phases of the work. Budget was $10,000 a year. In 1994, the first phase was inventory of all the drainage structures and ponds. Mapping was done on the reduced half section maps and a booklet shows all the drainage pipes, ponds, storm sewer pipes in the area. In 1996, the work was to identify the particular areas of the City that should be studied because of drainage problems. The entire City did not need to be studied. Of particular concern is Legion Avenue area and the 50th Street area. 10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None 11.
