Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 16, 2000 Page 9 • 1 Assistant City Manager Isom reviewed for the Commission that he had been requested at the last 2 meeting to obtain copies from Doug Jones (2505 Silver Lane NE) of various correspondence re- 3 garding the stormwater drainage issue. Isom noted for the Commission the package of information 4 and correspondence in the agenda packets that has been obtained regarding the stormwater issue. 5 In addition, Isom noted that he had spoken with Ms. Kate Drewry, District Administrator, Rice 6 Creek Watershed District, since her last letter of April 25, 2000. 7 As an aside, Isom stated that the District is operated by a Board of Managers and that regular 8 meetings are held. 9 Isom stated that one of the conditions for the Apache project is that the project be in compliance with 10 the Rice Creek Watershed District. In this regard,Isom would discuss this issue with City Attorney 11 Soth. 12 Hanson asked Isom if he envisioned that the City should be working more directly with the Rice 13 Creek Watershed District as opposed to individual businesses. Isom noted that in correspondence 14 from Mr.Jones,he had suggested that a letter from the City directed to Rice Creek might spark some _ 15 action. From a Staffs standpoint, Isom felt that would be helpful. In other words, if the City has 16 a position and submitted that standpoint to the Rice Creek Watershed District,possibly some action could happen. 18 Bergstrom inquired if that letter was in the process of being developed. Isom said not at this point; 19 however,he would take the discussion at the Planning Commission meeting today as a direction to 20 move forward. 21 Bergstrom commended Isom on the excellent summary and collection of historical materials and 22 background information on this issue. 23 IX.
