the storm sewer where it would then go to a lift station which would pump it over
the bank into the creek. Mr. Hoffman said that the City took the action that staff
felt was appropriate by immediately contacting Dennis Ryan, Minneapolis Park Board
Engineer, after Mr. Hartman had reported the flooding, and that'Mr. Ryan had assured
staff they would go out and fix the dike and pump the water down.
at the time was that the City of Minneapolis had the responsibility to Edina resi-
dents to clean up the flooded area. Member Turner commented that in response to
. calls from several neighbors she did view the flooding and that in speaking with
staff the course of action sounded logical and appropriate. Mr. Rosland said he
would ask the City forester to again check the trees on Mr. Hartman's property.

the revised Joint Powers Agreement on June 25th and is requesting approval
from the four cities. The original purpose of the agreement has remained
intact. The majority of the changes are in three areas: 1) WHHSC is used

to the Joint Powers are now cities; originally two were villages, and 3) More
inclusive language is used - he/she rather than he.

of Section 14. Section 12 now reads: "It may conduct human service programs

REPORT GIVEN ON WEED ORDINANCE. In response to the Council's discussion on
the City's weed ordinance on June 16, 1986, Mr. Rosland said he had asked Gene
Davis, Assistant Weed Inspector, to report on Edina's weed control program.
Relevant facts concerning the program are as follows: 1) In 1985 the City received
complaints concerning unmowed lawns at about 20 residences. Homeowners were
pursuaded to take care of their property without the need for Cfty crews to mow;
2) In 1985 the City sent 132 notices requiring the removal of noxious weeds;
3) Seventy-eight noxious weed notices were ignored and the property was mowed by
the City; 4) The City charges $75 per hour per tractor, with a minimum of $75, and
the cost of mowing is assessed against the property.
