Sections 17 and 20, 763-441-6894 or 612-940-4777 cellular <br />Township 33, Range 26, City of Elk River, Sherburne County <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />In the past two years the County Ditch Authority has received two petitions fi'om: Jon Lundberg, <br />20791, Elk Lake Road, Elk River, MN and Doug and Grace Ostein, 20842 Concord Street, Elk <br />River, MN, ro have a portion of ditch #31 from Station "O" (south end of the Elk River Countrv <br />Club) north to Station 94+00 .(County Road #33). Total footage to be cleaned is 9,400, which has <br />1,200 feet of 22" concrete tile line, which we are assuming is in good condition. It appears the main <br />problem is silt fill in brush, trees, and over growth. <br /> <br />On May 20, 2003, the County Ditch Authority approved the cleanout on the condition that we <br />recei:,,e a letter fi'om the City of Elk River a~m'eeing to the cleanout. I gave the Board an estimated <br />cost of $28,000.00. However, we'received two proposals, one from Big Jon's Construction in the <br />amount of $37,360.00 and the second proposal fi'om Herbst Excavating in the amount of <br />$32,725.00. <br /> <br />EnClosed you will fred copies of the call for bid, the petition received, and an aerial photo of the <br />area to be cleaned marked in "red" <br /> <br />In recent years, areas north of the golf com'se have been experiencing unusual flooding problems <br />indicating that the main ditch is filled in to the point the lateral tile lines are not draining. In this <br />project cost we are not addressing any lateral tile lines. Any culverts to be rePlaced on the golf <br />course Will be at the golf course expense. <br /> <br />We would like an answer-to the City's position on this matter as soon as possible so that the project <br />could be completed by May 15, 2004. <br /> <br />Thank you for yom' time in this matter. Please contact me if you have any questions. <br /> <br /> r-%-ResP, sat~lY~,~'x ,4¢ ~ <br /> <br />~ Sherburne C~mnty Ditch and Drainage Technician <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />Ramona Doebler, Sherburne County Auditor/Treasurer <br />Kathleen Heaney, Sherburne County Attorney <br />Brian Bensen, Sherburne County Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />
