ENGINEER HUBBARD had - nothing to report'.
COUNCILMEMBER SHELQUIST'S REPORT Councilmember Shelquist asked Engineer
Hubbard if he had reviewed the storm sewer report. Engineer Hubbard stated he
had reviewed it and saw no problem with anything in it. Engineer Hubbard does
not feel that the nine phases necessarily means nine years. Engineer Hubbard
stated that the Council would have to determine a reasonable way of assessing
it to obtain the financing. Engineer Hubbard felt the report was very good.
Councilman Shelquist stated he wondered if there was a discrepancy in what
the City thought they were buying and what they got. Engineer Hubbard stated
that he did not think so.
Councilman Shelquist stated the report indicates that the existing storm sewer
system is not adequate to accomodate a three year storm when the area is
developed. Another statement says that it does not necessarily drain all the
back lots and the owners should take action to landscape and route water to
available storm sewer outlets. Councilmember Shelquist stated that if this
is left to the residents it may not happen. He questioned if the City was
buying alot more storm sewer than we actually needed and therefore putting
the tax payers to an unnecessary expense? Administrator Achen stated that
these questions should be directed to the firm and suggested another meeting.
Engineer Hubbard stated that he would like to see the firms calculations
before making comment. Administrator Achen stated he could inform the company
that the Councilbody and Administrator are lay people and Councilmember Shelquist
wants some additional assurance from our in -house engineer that he is satisfied
that this is a good quality report and a wise system for Mounds View. Council
member Shelquist stated he is concerned that the company is making a calculation
based on a certain runn off in a certain area.
Administrator Achen stated that he will try to meet with the company this week
and asked the Council to write down any questions that they would like him to
ask the company. Mr. Achen will set up a meeting between the company and
council for Tuesday, September 7„
