Mr. Dick Nelson, City of Blaine planning administrator, and Mr. James
Schrantz, City engineer, presented a proposal to clean Judicial Ditch No. 1.
A pre - application has been filed with HUD by Blaine for work on this ditch
in the communities of Lexington, Mounds View and Blaine.
Mr. Schrantz presented an aerial map depicting in yellow the ditch as it
travels from Blaine through Lexington and into Mounds View north of Highway 10
and red lines indicating the location of the ditch south of Highway 10 in
Mounds View. The red area was not included in the proposal because it was
assumed this part of the ditch was in good repair. However, Engineer Bearden
felt this area should be investigated and included in the proposal.
The Blaine planner and engineer indicated this area could be added with no
difficulty. They also stated that this study was based on 100 year storms
with the area fully developed.
Engineer Bearden and the Council were concerned about the funding of this
ditch project and asked if it would be necessary for Mounds View to make a
separate application in order to be eligible for funding. Administrator Achen
said HUD is interested in joint projects. Lexington and Mounds View could
state that they support Blaine's application or a joint application between
the communities could be submitted.
Mr. Nelson said Blaine would be the sponsor as it is planned now. Rice Creek
Watershed District encouraged them to apply for the funding. He said if the
grant was provided for all three communities eventually the control of the
whole thing probably would be in the hands of the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Mr. Nelson added that the maximum project cost would be under $300,000.
