CONSULTING ENGINEER'S REPORT
Mr. Elliott explained the feasibility report which he prepared for the drainage
on Oasis Avenue. There is a culvert 24 inches in size under the highway from
Baytown south of Highway 212. The pond would be kept at 911 feet which would
be one foot above the present level. The depth is required as an outflow and
this will have to be controlled due to the wall that has been put up at the west
side of this pond. The estimated cost of the project would be $32,500 which would
be assessed to the benefited property owners or those contributing storm water
drainage to this facility.
COUNCILMAN PETERSON asked if this would not eventually get to Lily Lake and
MR. ELLIOTT agreed that it would ultimately end up there, which it does not, but it
would get there faster.
Mr. Shelton, Mr. Ogren and Mr. Elliott will meet on Thursday
at 10:00 A. M. on this matter and Mr. Elliott will contact the
County again as to their part in this matter and also the County
will be asked to contact the State of Minnesota.

they are equipment workers and not construction workers. The City can make
them go up there if they are physically able.

Parks Department would be able to do this work and Mr. Shelton and Mr.
