All of the taxpayers in the 30 cities around will <br />now be responsible to maintain the sediment basin for Fridley which will be a considerable cost. The project <br />came in lower than anticipated and to date $129,000 remains in project funds. At this time, the Rice Creek <br />Board is determining what can or will be done with the remaining funds. She provided several options which <br />she feels should be considered, including 1) returning the funds to the taxpayers; 2) reducing next years tax <br />levy, 3) leaving the money in a special fund to be used to maintain the sediment basin, or 4) to debate with the <br />other cities as to what they would like to do -including the possibility of dividing the funds to be used for their <br />own Water Management Plan. She asked that the Council consider this and make a recommendation to <br />Ramsey County and the Rice Creek Watershed Board. She would also recommend that all cities agree to pay <br />only for the maintenance of the sediment basin as originally agreed upon. <br />. Mayor McCarty thanked Ms. Haake for bringing this matter to the Council's attention. He further <br />stated he would suggest that Mounds View notify Ramsey County and the Rice Creek Watershed Board <br />
