BEflSELMAN ADDITION - REQUEST FROM LEVI MACKIN
Mayor Dietzen, explained a study session was held in regards to the
drainage problem.
Mr.Levi Mackin stated he had an agreement with the City Supervisor and
City Engineer,to fill in ditch,which is five feet deep.Paid $5,000
for the lot,then gave an easement to the City,which he felt was doing
the City a favor.Problem was never brought up before the council.
Expected the city to have it filled in and leveled up.Mr.John Moberg
attorney for Mr.Mackin,asked what would the city have done if Mr.Mackin
had not let them have an easement,as there was a definite drainage problem.
Recording by Mr.McCosh (who x*as Mayor at the time)and Mr.Chester Waggener
City Manager,regarding Mr.Mackin purchase of property and granting of
easement.Mr.McCosh stated there were no verbal agreements for City to
install drainage tile,that Mr. Mackin was definitely advised that City
would not do so.
Mr.Mackin not in accord with Mr.McCosh,felt he had an agreement before
he put up the $5,000 for the purchase of the property.
City Attorney,John Calbom asked Mr.Mackin,at what time he discussed this
matter,before the purchase of the property or after.He stated before.
Noted nothing in the easement regarding city filling in this ditch,why did
he sign easement.Said he did not read easement,just signed it.
Motion by Hilderbrand seconded by Law,inasmuch as the signed easement
specifically states that City would not install drain,that the request by
Mr.Mackin for such installation be denied.Motion carried.
