'Member Anderson introduced the following resolution and MOVED its adoption:
RESOLUTION
(Army Corps of Engineers
Flood Control Plan for
Bassett Creek)
WHEREAS, Bassett Creek has a major impact on the City of Golden
due to the fact that the greatest descharge from its tributaries occurs
in Golden Valley, and
WHEREAS, Bassett Creek has been of major environmental and aesthetic
importance to the City, and
WHEREAS, along with the benefit to the community have come the
problems of periodic flooding, and
WHEREAS, the City has been a leader in seeking ways to resolve
the problems of flooding on a multi—community basis through its support
of the BCFCC, and
WHEREAS, the City, through its representative on the Commission,
,has participated in development of a plan to minimize the impact of the
'flooding while retaining the Creek as an environmental and aesthetic
asset to the community, and
WHEREAS, the City Council, through Councilmember Rosemary Thorsen,
has stated its public support for preparation of a plan to provide for
(flood control measures on Bassett Creek as long as certain matters of
local concern are resolved in order to protect the interest of the City
lof Golden Valley and its citizens, and
WHEREAS, these matters are still of concern, and the District
Engineer has given assurances that there will be further opportunities
for resolution of these concerns before a final plan is adopted, and
WHEREAS, the City feels that Federal assistance in developing
a flood control plan is a necessity due to the fact that action or
inaction will affect potentially not only communities in Minnesota
but also communities in other states farther down the Mississippi River;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Golden Valley that:
(1) The Army Corps of Engineers should pursue funding for the control
of Bassett Creek;
(2) General concept approval is given to the plan if, prior to approval
of a construction plan, provision is made for further public hearings as
requested at the 15 October 1975 hearing, and the matters of local
concern resolved to this Council's satisfaction;
(3) The Council wishes to thank the Army Corps of Engineers for its
efforts to date in trying to develop a plan which will satisfy the desires
of the communities affected.
