All I want to say is, I have been serving, 22 years on Rice Creek Watershed, I have been on City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board, State Rep, I have been all these frickin things. But what I want to get to is that my Rice Creek Watershed business told me that we have sugar sand we never really needed curb and gutter but there is one thing, Nyle is not going to like this, and I am sure the council is not going to like it either, but my main question is were going to have all these things were going to look at, the state aid and everything else. Has this been before Rice Creek Watershed yet and I will wait in a minute for an answer? But my whole point is, when this was built and we did all this streets and reconstructing in Mounds View even though there were only a few people that had water that were really an issue that we probably could have taken care of. I can go back to 1970 even and tell you when we hauled stuff, we could use water and have it go into wetlands, etc. which is neither here nor there. But when we did all that and decided it, and it went to Rice Creek, Rice Creek said you are probably going to have to purchase homes to be able to take all your sewer water, this is the storm sewer water, and you take it over to an area; where it is going to have to settle out before it can be released into Rice Creek. That would have cost the city a lot of money, so the agreement that came about was there had to be rain gardens and there were a lot of people that on the new streets and everything like that they had meetings like this and people volunteered weather they put a rain garden in their yard or not. Now I have not seen on this plan any rain gardens, not sure. I will be calling Rice Creek tomorrow to see if this has come before it yet. And like I said, I know this is something this is something the city is not going to like to have and have me butt my head into this again. But it's just something that has to be done, I don't know about if anybody else has asked for a rain garden in their yards, to be able to have it, so that sanitary water that's going to come off the impervious surface, were going to have more impervious surface. Is that going to be clean before it goes into Rice Creek or not? That's something to do. Now my question — has this gone before Rice Creek yet, and I guess this goes to Don and Nyle? Don Peterson (DP) — I can answer this for you. First to let everyone know, you have three minutes, just like council meetings and yes Ms. Haake, it has gone to Rice Creek, their engineers are reviewing it and I can tell you that as of today, with what we are proposing, we do not need to put in rain gardens. BWSR (Board of Water Soil) has changed the requirements for a street rehabilitation project. And because of what we are doing, and it really has to do with the layers we are going thru, we are milling — or going thru the top layer and the base layer of the sub surface. We are not going into the layer below that — 1
