He <br />also noted that according to his attorney, if the City <br />denies the request to undertake the study and his <br />property suffers damage from the drainage, the City will <br />be liable. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson reviewed the process of <br />options involved in the feasibility study. <br />Mr. Dennis stated that he has lost many mature trees <br />within the last five years because of the water ponding <br />problem. He stated he feels like his property is being <br />dumped on. <br />Mr. Waters stated he is anxious to proceed with the <br />feasibility study so as not to lose the summer months. <br />It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by iouncilmember <br />Callahan, that the Council accept the petition as <br />currently submitted and order the Engineer to undertake <br />the appropriate feasibility study for this matter if the <br />two owners petition agree to 50% of the feasibility <br />study cost if the project does not go forward.
