Mounds View City Council January 14, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that there has been a drainage issue at Mustang Drive at the 1 <br />intersection near FedTech for years. Staff had the consultant take a look at it and provide a 2 <br />recommendation and that recommendation was that the pipe is not sized adequately for the 3 <br />amount of water that comes to that area. The consultant has come up with recommendations to 4 <br />consider including a project to change the high points of Mustang Drive. Staff anticipates a 5 <br />project to alleviate the drainage situation in either 2008 or 2009. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Flaherty indicated that it cost the City $25,000 to defend its officers in a 8 <br />litigation matter that the City eventually won.
