Gordon Ziebarth, 5150 Bona Rd., stated that if we wait a week,
what priority will Mr. Frisch give this matter? Mr. Frisch
replied that he personally has some commitments in court. His
engineers can evaluate it. He doesn't want Don Paster here because
there are personality conflicts, Ed Paster had a prior commitment
for tonight.
Mr. Boever stated that Mr. Frisch has been given complete authority
to retain any people he needs. He is to advise Paster Enterprises
on what his findings are.
Mayor Johnson asked whether Mr. Frisch has the authority to make
decisions on this matter? Mr. Casey asked if Paster Enterprises
has an engineer. Mr. Frisch replied that Bertram Getzug is the
Paster's consulting engineer.
Mr. Ziebarth said he is still concerned about the priority Mr.
Frisch will give this matter. Mr. Frisch stated that he has
committed himself to the time. A week from tonight is a holiday
so give me 10 days, gentlemen.
Frank Veno, 7700 Long Lake Rd. If the developers don't pay for
this improvement, who is going to pay for it? If I am assessed
anymore I will leave. I have never had any problem with water
before last year. Mr. Frisch stated that is the legal question.
Perhaps it is the responsibility of the Highway Dept., City of
Mounds View or Ramsey County. I will respond as to my client's
position within 10 days.
Mayor Johnson stated the City of Mounds View is made up of only
the residents and the property owners -- so obviously one of them
has to pay the tab. Councilman Baumgartner stated that no one
has said that residents of the area are going to be assessed
for it. If the Council determines that the whole assessment
should be against Paster, that is the'ay it will go. Frank Veno
asked what if he, as an individual citizen, said he wouldn't
pay it -- how long could we put off the Council.
Councilman Pickar replied that there is a due process which works
regardless of who it is.
Frank Veno then stated that if you have the money to fight it you
can carry it out, but most citizens do not.
Mr. Glisan stated that with regard to the storm sewer on Long
Lake Rd., he doesn't intend to be assessed again. It was expen-
sive when they got it and he cannot see a double assessment.
Mayor Johnson explained to him that he does not have a storm
sewer system on Greenwood Drive. What he has is a surface
water drainage system, that was designed to handle dewatering
for construction of sanitary sewers.
Mr. Glisan said that it runs good -- never has been full even
last year. Mr. Frisch said that he is not here to argue. He is
here in the spirit of cooperation. He just cannot respond this
evening. Everybody is getting mad. There has been enough
stalls and delays, and I want to tell you yes or no or otherwise.
