ANTHONY AND RAMSEY COUNTY FOR THE COUNTY ROAD D PROJECT Motion carried unanimously. In his January 26th memorandum, Mr. Hamer had reported on the two separate projects proposed to' correct drainage problems involving Salvation Army Camp property and the City of Columbia Heights . To distinguish between the two, he had identified the project proposed to correct the drainage problem along the north end of the camp as Phase 1, the County Road E Project, and the project which would deal with the drainage problems and street construction in Columbia Heights which extends onto the west side of Salvation Army property, as Phase II , the Stinson Project. The Salvation Army had agreed to pay the costs of the feasibility and cost study done by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc. for Phase I , but had declined to participate in Phase II since they perceived no bene- fit could be derived . from the street construction project on that side of the camp since they were not interested in selling or developing that land, according to the Public Works Director. Mr. Hamer indicated the Stinson Project was still in the talking stages • and he was now seeking Council direction as to whether or not he should continue discussions with Columbia Heights about the project.
