Mattick indicated the State is not bound by the passage of a law unless the words of the act <br />leave no doubt as to the intention of the legislature. <br />Mattick stated this is not an uncommon issue for cities but that different communities have had success in <br />approaching the state and notifying them when there is a problem. Mattick stated it is a little different <br />when it is located on private property and that the contractor is required to follow certain City regulations. <br />Mattick noted Senator Osmek has provided the contact at X1N/D0T if there is a problem with the <br />Highway 12 project. <br />Walsh stated the City could reach out and find out what restrictions are being placed on the contractor in <br />the event a citizen has a complaint. <br />Page 25 of 26 <br />
