Failure of Rice Creek <br /> Watershed to perform a much needed maintenance program on this Ditch prior <br /> to the opening of the City's golf course could seriously jeopardize the <br /> aesthetic environment of the course, the pathway system and the driving <br /> range. This past Spring, Summer and Fall, the Ditch, in many areas south <br /> of County road J, had a foul odor, stagnant water due to. sedimentation <br /> build up and debris in the water such as tires, bottles, and cans. <br /> The City of Blaine is also anxious for Rice Creek to accelerate their <br /> inspection and ma ' - - ce program for Judicial Ditch No. 1. <br /> tifivS <br /> Samant Ordun , City A ministrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Motion to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. 4505 Requesting Rice <br /> Creek Watershed District Consider the Cleaning of Judicial Ditch No. 1 as <br /> a Top Budget Priority for 1995 <br />
