She added that <br />she was asked by the same individual whether she would <br />be willing to write a letter to the City stating that <br />she would be willing to pay for it. <br />Mayor Linke clarified that Steve Rose was not the City <br />Engineer, and that Steve Thatcher had been the Engineer <br />at the time in question, and that that was misinformation, <br />as the City does not ask residents to pay for that them- <br />selves. <br />Ali Sabur, 7837 Bona Road, stated he was also.concerned <br />with the safety of the ponds, and also asked which map <br />was correct, the aerial map or the map that was being <br />presented at this th.e. <br />Mr. Senden explained why the differences in the maps <br />occurred. <br />Mayor Linke stated the maps being used by Mr. Senden LJ <br />are correct and have been verified by both the County <br />and the Corps of Engineers. <br />
