Public Hearing ~ Nonc Council Business City Engineer Les Proper said a petition was received from Lake Diane residents requesting removal of mire and fen from Lake Diane (north of 17th Ter. NW and west of Silver Lake Rd.). The building of an addition to a home on Lake Diane Ct. provides a window of opportunity for access to the lake that may not be available in the future. Staff recommends soliciting quotes for removal of material and approve a budget of $25,000 from the Storm Water Utility Fund for this project. Tf possible, Council indicated their desire to completely eliminate the fen material from the Lake. One resident noted that the fen continues to grow and take over the Lake. Ray Petsola, 2845 18th St. NW, added that the fen grows more quickly during the summer months, and strongly favors project approval. One resident asked if properties which do not surround the Lake contribute drainage. Proper noted that numerous properties contribute drainage to the Lake, and he will speak to the City Forester about a downed tree which may be blocking the drainage system. Wally Ward, 2782 17th Ter., feels much of the surface drainage can be attributed from the storm sewers. Propcr said the probe discovered soft material at a 25 foot depth, and the project's objective is to remove the floating material. One resident stated support for a special assessment against affected properties which would provide for the entire removal of the bog. Motion by Samuelson, seconded by Moore-Sykes, to RECEIVE THE PETITION AND DIRECT STAFF TO SOLICIT QUOTATIONS FOR REMOVAL OF MIRE AND FEN MATERIAL FROM LAKE DIANE, APPROVE A $25,000 BUDGET FROM THE STORM WATER UTILITY FUND FOR THE PROJECT, IF NECESSARY, ADJUST THE BUDGETED AMOUNT TO ALLOW FOR COMPLETE REMOVAL OF MA TERrAL, AND ADDRESS THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING AT A LATER DATE. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried.
