MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting March 24, 1980 Page 11 Rose informed the City Council of the status of this drainage problem between the City of Spring Lake Park and Loren Sandall, a resident of the City of Mounds View. He informed the City Council that the City had been involved in a number of negotiations on the behalf of Mr. Sandall and results of the last meeting was a request from the Watershed and Spring Lake Park to develop a cost estimate on a potential engineering study to solve the drainage problem. Staff was before City Council inquiring whether or not they wanted to proceed with a feasibility study, which would provide an alternative to the present situation. An estimated cost of that study was estimated to be $600. Staff was not sure as to the split between Spring Lake Park and Mounds View over the cost of the $600. The City Attorney noted that the City 'lad no legal obligation to continue advo- cating on behalf of the property owner unless the Council was in favor of a public improvement. The question was raised as to whether this was a public improvement project or an expenditure for a single residential property. McCarty moved to inform the property owner of the City's position that it could not expend public money for what appeared to be a problem between an individual resident and another governing agency. This information should also be passed to the water- shed and Spring Lake Park. Hodges seconded the motion. The Council wanted the Watershed to follow through with their earlier letter to Spring Lake Park. The motion carried. 4 ayes 0 nays 22.
