is that the work which is not done should be completed and
finish the project. Atty. Meyers stated that the thing to
do under these circumstances is to complete the original
project based on the request of the owner. You should do only
that which is necessary to complete what you authorized in
view of the fact that you have a more long range improvement
for that section of the city. If you do not feel that you are
in a position to act this evening you may continue this meeting.
Admin. Achen stated that the city has expended $9200 so far,
and the work done by city forces is not included in this figure.
MSP(Johnson- Hodges) that we direct the engineer to go back to
the work which was originally proposed last summer and that a
review of the work be made, see what has been accomplished to
date, and that a proposal be made as to what work needs to
be done in order to complete the work necessary to finish the
project as originally conceived and have a report ready for
Council May 24.
Mr. Frisch then stated that he had no objection to the hearing
but if you have anything in advance of the meeting we would
like communication on it. He intends to cooperate. He
further stated that he has seen the result of $9000 and does
not think that another $9000 will solve the problem. They
will bring their professionals and offer their recommendations.
Ed Paster spoke to the Council regarding Paster Enterprises
holding up their end of the bargain, i.e. a first -class
operation, hiring the best architects, worked with the Council
on the landscaping, cooperated with the overall program. They
have made substantial commitments to Mounds View, got the
stoplights put in there, done a great many things that were
difficult. They would be happy to get rid of that water, they
did what they were told to do, all their expensive sod washed
into the drainage ditch. However, it is a problem that is
total area wide. They cannot be responsible for the overall
problem. All they have done is respond to your requests. Just
because the problem is not resolved does not mean they haven't
cooperated.
