They approached Mayhoffer to sign a contract. Mayhoffer and the ditch owners did not agree with the contract, since the city had requested that a bike path be place within 6" of the dirt ditch. He stated that the sidewalk would not stay in there under heavy flows of water or the flows of water that they have. He commented that two years ago the ditch overflowed into the city, which created a confrontation. They would like to see the ditch put into a pipe for safety reasons. He stated that the developer refuses to do anything about this at this time. They wanted Mayhoffer to get a contractor to put the ditch in as they show it. When their engineer asked Mayhoffer to sign their original contract, Mayhoffer took him to see the ditch. The engineer did not realize what kind of a situation this was. He would not have suggested what is shown on their development PUD. Paul Wood, Planning Director, had gotten Wonderland Homes in contact with Mr. Mayhoffer, but they had not been able to agree on whether the ditch should be piped. Wood stated that he would be working on a referral of ditch matter with the City Attorney in terms of what actions the city might have over the subdivider in this case, since the open ditch was approved on the PUD. He will be getting back with Mayhoffer as to the alternatives. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that she and Paul Wood would be getting back with Council with recommendations at the November 15, 1994, Council meeting. COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mayer congratulated the Parks & Recreation Department on receiving a gold metal designating them as being the premiere Parks & Recreation Department for cities under 20,000 in population. He commented that this is the second award that one of the city's departments had gotten on a national level in the last couple of years. 2
