Item No. 6 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: September 5, 2000 Type of Business: WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Discussion of Greenfield Park Ponding Project Date of Report: August 29, 2018 Staff and Council received a document of events pertaining to the proposed Greenfield Park Ponding Project from a resident at the last City Council meeting. Staff was directed to respond to the statements in the document. The responses will be specific to the statements or questions when applicable or general when appropriate. • An informational meeting was held at a City Council work session in which Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) presented the proposed project. Other than the standard Council agenda, no formal notice to the residents was given at this time. • There has been no Public Hearings held by the City of Mounds View on this project. When hearings are scheduled, mailings of the notice will be sent to the residents. • Golf Course manager John Hammerschmidt has been the main City contact person with RCWD as he was conducting wetland surveys at the golf course and adjacent areas for possible golf course expansion and residential development. Mr. Hammerschmidt named the project himself as a trail system improvement, obviously implying the possible extension and improvement of the existing trail way. RCWD has named the project for the hydrological impact it would have on Rice Creek. Staff has referred to the project by the park name, which is Greenfield Park. I believe the currently the Greenfield Park Ponding Project is more accurate for the residents and staff concerned in this matter. • Other than the information presented by Mr. Hammerschmidt and RCWD, the City does not have any final or firm plans to provide the residents. The RCWD is currently working on a feasibility study and preliminary plan, which should be completed in approximately two (2) months. • The City had not designated a spokesperson for the residents in this proposed project other than a person on the Park and Rec Comm. and the Mayor and City Council as the residents elected officials.
