Mounds View City Council June 24, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 3 • Public Works Director Lee indicated a thorough inspection of the camera was done to make sure all the other seals were in working order. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas. To Approve Consent Agenda Item E as Presented. Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Council Member Quick asked where the sewer was located. Public Works Director Lee indicated the storm sewer needing repair was located at 2940 Wooddale Drive at the rear of the property 300 feet back from the roadway. Council Member Quick asked if there was right-of--way available to be able to maintain it. Public Works Director Lee indicated there was a 20 foot right of way but said it is a 36 inch pipe so it is difficult to stay within the 20 foot space. He then said that he has been working with the property owner and obtained permission to access the outlet location through his property in order to do this work. He also noted that the property owner is upgrading and expanding his home which may make accessing the area more difficult in the future. Council Member Quick asked how it had been since the storm sewer had any maintenance done on it. . Public Works Director Lee indicated that no maintenance had been done in recent history. He then said that he is in the process of formulating a plan for inspection and maintenance of the City's inlets and outlets and will provide comments and recommendations to Council. Council Member Quick asked if the City knew the pipe was there. Public Works Director Lee indicated his staff knew the pipe was there but, since it had not been inspected, he is not aware of when the damage took place. Council Member Quick said he finds it difficult to understand that maintenance had not been done to a pipe of that size that has been there since 1964. He then asked how the inspection plan would work. Public Works Director Lee said the City would define what systems are to be inspected including all storm sewer piping and ponding areas and those would be inspected to ensure that the inlets and outlets are functioning properly. Council Member Quick asked where the fencing that is in the way was located. Public Works Director Lee indicated the fencing was located on property to the west of 2940. Council Member Quick asked whether the fence ran right down the middle of the easement.
