Mounds View City Council Apri126, 2004 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br />Council Member Stigney asked if a majority of the votes were in favor of doing the streets. <br />i <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated he was not sure of the vote but was told there were a <br />majority in favor. <br />Council Member Quick asked where the City is with Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated there has been no official approval but Staff has submitted <br />to them an application and does not anticipate any issues obtaining the permit. <br />Council Member Quick indicated he would like a Legal binding document of some sort agreeing <br />to the conditions of the permit and stating that no changes will be made once the project has <br />begun. He then asked for information on the storm scepters. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that there were three locations but now there are two storm <br />scepters and one storm sewer sump at the end of Gloria Circle. <br />Council Member Quick expressed concern that Rice Creek did not want anything to do with <br />storm scepters when the City redid Spring Lake Road but they are requiring them on this project. <br />He then asked where the water is coming from that is being handled by these storm scepters. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that half of the water is from within this project. <br />Council Member Quick asked if Rice Creek is paying for half of it. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that the estimated cost is $20,000 for each at 100% City <br />cost and the city will have to maintain them. <br />Council Member Quick asked if there were any other alternatives other than storm scepters. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated they were trying to do infiltration ponds and that won't <br />work so storm scepters is the only option. <br />Council Member Gunn commented that the City has gone all these years without them and asked <br />why they are suddenly necessary. <br />Mayor Linke indicated they want to clean up the lake even more even though it is the cleanest in <br />the area. <br />Council Member Quick commented that this is another non-elected body spending taxpayer <br />dollars without representation. <br />Council Member Gunn asked if the benefit justifies the cost. <br />~~ <br />
