During that <br /> process a great deal of discussion occurred pertaining to the size <br /> and specifications of the streets to be installed by the City of <br /> Mounds View, with the expense of such installation being assessed <br /> back to the property. It was decided that all of the street <br /> improvements would be installed by the City under the City's <br /> contract and direct supervision, which did occur. The curb and <br /> gutter and street improvements were installed in keeping with the <br /> City's then required street construction specification. <br /> Based on the above occurring, discussion was held with certain <br /> administrators of the City regarding the ongoing maintenance of the <br /> streets. Those city administrators stated that based on all of the <br /> above, the streets would be maintained by the City as public <br /> streets, which also has occurred over the past approximate nine <br /> year period. <br /> A question and concern has now been raised by the current city <br /> administrators as to the liability concern of maintaining the <br /> streets that are not officially owned by the City, in as much as <br />
