unds View City Council Page Four ~gular Meeting February 10, 1992 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to adopt Resolution No. 4186 Adopting a Surface Water Management Plan for the City of Mounds View 4 ayes 1 nay Motion Carried Councilmember Rickaby stated at this time she would like to explain why she voted against the adoption of this resolution. Rickaby stated that her explanation at this time was the same as her explana- tion given the last time that she was under the impression that the Council had adopted the Plan. Rickaby stated that back last February the Council had considerable discussion of this issue. Rickaby further stated that this Plan, in her opinion, the goal intended by the legislature and verbalized by Ric and some of the documents was to reduce the amount of surface water that was leaving the City. This Plan did not accomplish that goal, in fact, a number of the projects that were part of the Plan will actually increase the amount of water leaving the City through our drainage system and for that reason Rickaby stated she believed it was not a good plan and a lot of what was put into this plan as far as future projects, although I know it would be said these are not placed in cement and the City does not have to follow the future project plan, I know the way the • plan works, once adopted it is very likely to go through and the City would then have reason to say this is what you wanted to do and this is what we are going to do. Rickaby also stated that once adopted these items are hard to amend. Rickaby stated that the City can't afford this so the next step would be to get financing through a utility. The City has too much on utility financing already and for that reason Councilmember Rickaby stated she did not approve of this plan. 2.
