A pre application has been filed with HUD by Blaine for work on this ditch in the communities of Lexington, Mounds View and Blaine. Mr. Schrantz presented an aerial map depicting in yellow the ditch as it travels from Blaine through Lexington and into Mounds View north of Highway 10 and red lines indicating the location of the ditch south of Highway 10 in Mounds View. The red area was not included in the proposal because it was assumed this part of the ditch was in good repair. However, Engineer Bearden felt this area should be investigated and included in the proposal. The Blaine planner and engineer indicated this area could be added with no difficulty. They also stated that this stuffy was based on 100 year storms with the area fully developed. Engineer Bearden and the Council were concerned about the funding of this ditch project and asked if it would be necessary for Mounds View to make a separate application in order to be eligible for funding. Administrator Achen said HUD is interested in joint projects. Lexington and Mounds View could state that they support Blaine's application or a joint application between the communities could be submitted. Mr. Nelson said Blaine would be the sponsor as it is planned now. Rice Creek Watershed District encouraged them to apply for the funding. He said if the grant was provided for all three communities eventually the control of the whole thing probably would be in the hands of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Nelson added that the maximum proiect cost would be under 5500,000.
