Mr. Pfeifle presented a PowerPoint presentation on the <br />flooding problems he and his neighbors have experienced. Attached is a copy of the <br />PowerPoint presentation and a draft copy of a memo he suggested could be sent by the City <br />of Elk River to MnDOT. After hearing Mr. Pfeifle's presentation, the City Coun<;iJ directed <br />me to act on behalf of the residents in this area to ensure that their concerns are heard and <br />responded to by MnDOT. <br /> <br />On Tuesday, October 12, 2004 I had phone conversation with Calvin Puttbrese. He <br />indicated that he was aware of the general concerns from the neighbors in this area and went <br />on to indicate that MnDOT has been dealing with Mr. Pfeifle for most of the summer. Mr. <br />Puttbrese indicated that you are taking the lead on this issue from MnDOT's perspective. <br />He also indicated that you are working with the consultant who designed this project for <br />MnDOT to review some of the design assumptions for the water ponding in this area. <br /> <br />The purpose for my correspondence, once again, is to represent our City Council in ensuting <br />that residents of the City are responded to and dealt with fairly regarding their concerns <br />about water diversion and flooding problems. As I have asked Mr. Puttbrese in our phone <br />conversation, I would request of you also that I be kept appraised of progress in dealing with <br />issues. I will in turn keep the City Council appraised of how MnDOT and the concerned <br />neighbors are working to resolve the various issues. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br /> <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
