Administrator Achen presented background of the proposed project. He
stated that during the spring of 1975 Mounds View experienced heavy
rains which resulted in flooding problems throughout the city. The
City Council held two emergency meetings on the problems, which many
residents attended and described their drainage problems. In response
the Council ordered an engineering study to determine the solutions
to these drainage problems.
In November, 1974, Short, Elliott, Hendrickson & Assoc., a consulting
engineer firm, was selected to perform the study. Short, Elliott,
Hendrickson submitted a plan to the Council in draft form in August,
1976. Two City Council work sessions were devoted to reviewing the
firm's methodology, data and recommendations, and on November 15,
1976, the Council formally accepted the plah. The plan was approved
by the Rice Creek Watershed District in May, 1977.
