so that County Rd. I is the last place to be flooded. The

the ditch will store a lot of water and there is a catch basin.
If the pipe gets full and can't handle the load, it will fill
other places.
Mayor Johnson stated that with tremendous rain, pressure would
build up in catch basins; would there be so much so as to
force water down I as opposed to going down Highway 10? Eng.
Bearden indicated overflow from pond to parking lot and eventually

MSP (Shelquist- Baumgartner) to amend the main motion to direct
the engineer to ensure that drainage from County Rd. I to
Highway Ditch on 10 is ensured so that the ditch does not end

basins do not end up higher than County Rd. I.
Adm. Achen stated that County Rd. I should be the last area

otherwise, it basically is for maintenance, appearance, safety.
