Bill Halverstadt, 6420 Old settlers Road, Corcoran - Questioned why he had been included in the motion of July 11, 2002 Council Meeting to be removed as a member of the HRUA. Felt that the Council had been given incomplete and inaccurate information. Council responded that because Mr. Halverstadt serves on the Board of Directors of the HRUA, he has the ability to influence the decisions that they made, specifically whether they should pull city permits for septic work. The Council agreed that although he was less involved in the activities of the HRUA, information was not being shared with the Council regarding those activities, and he, being on the Board of Directors, should have shared some of that information with the Wastewater Commission, as well as sharing information on City policies with the HRUA. Charles and Carol LaBerge, 9829 Creek View Circle, Rogers - Concerned about the flooding of Rush Creek and the damage it has done to their home and property. Wondering what the City and Hennepin County are doing to correct the problem and what kind of plan will be followed to rectify the situation. Administrator Vergin advised that Engineer Vander Top is working with Hennepin County to create a model to determine the reason that the area is flooding. Public Works has recently cleaned out the culvert. The County and the City are working together to solve this flooding issue. Council responded that the County has to be a part of the solution and that Engineer Vander Top was directed by the Council to work with the County to rectify the situation. It is also important that the homeowner (LeBerge) be involved in the resolution process. The situation will take some time to fix. There will not be an immediate solution because other homeowners will be affected as well. The County designed County Road 30 so they have to be a part of the solution. The issue will be placed on the August 22, 2002 Council agenda for review of progress. MOTION by Gmach, seconded by Thomas, and carried unanimously to approve the consent agenda items as follows: Called to Order Agenda Approval Open Forum Consent Agenda Approval CITY OF CORCORAN REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 8, 2002 H:\City Hall Information\CITY GOVERNMENT\Council, Commissions & Committees\Council Information\Council Minutes\Previous Years\2002 - Need to PDF\08.08.02 Council Minutes.doc 2 • Approve the Council Workshop Minutes of July 25, 2002 as presented. • Approve the Regular Council Meeting Minutes of July 25, 2002 as amended. • Approve claims #2937 – 2966, in the amount of $13,782.90, as presented. • Adopt Resolution #2002-53, appointing Election Judges for the September 10, 2002 Primary Election and setting the hourly wage at $8.00 per hour for Election Judges and $8.50 per hour for Head Election Judges.
