Mounds View City Council January 14, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 11 Public Works Director Lee explained that there has been a drainage issue at Mustang Drive at the intersection near FedTech for years. Staff had the consultant take a look at it and provide a recommendation and that recommendation was that the pipe is not sized adequately for the amount of water that comes to that area. The consultant has come up with recommendations to consider including a project to change the high points of Mustang Drive. Staff anticipates a project to alleviate the drainage situation in either 2008 or 2009. Council Member Flaherty indicated that it cost the City $25,000 to defend its officers in a litigation matter that the City eventually won. He then asked why the City has to pay this when the City was exonerated. Finance Director Beer explained that the League had to defend the City and the costs must be paid despite the fact that the City was dismissed from the claim. Council Member Flaherty asked where the funding would come. Finance Director Beer explained that the contingency fund is the fund for this type of situation that cannot be planned for. Council Member Mueller indicated that the insurance paid for coverage kept the costs of the defense down somewhat. MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller.
