Mrs. Moller said we should check with Blaine and see just what their plans
are. It did involve more than cleaning up the ditch. It involved making
the ditch deeper, wider culverts, etc., that will flood Mounds View.
Mayor Johnson said they have been here, and it does have to be combined effort
between Blaine and Mounds View.
Mayor Johnson asked if water was still coming in Mr. Bluhm's basement.
Mr. Bluhm said it was down considerably, about ten gallons per day compared
to 100 gallons.
Mayor Johnson said a capital improvement project to clean out ditches may
be the answer. However, we do not have funds currently available. He
asked Mr. Blum to give the City some time to at least see if we can design
a program to clean out the ditch and perhaps pay for it with some kind of
an assessment. Compounding this problem is an abnormally heavy rainfall and
snow melt contributing to high water tables all over the City this year.
Mr. Hanscom asked if such an assessment would affect people all over. Mounds
View or just those living by ditches. Mayor Johnson said that we have to
figure who is a benefitting property owner, if your water drains into the
ditch, you could be a benefitted property owner and would then share the
assessment.
