your office has objected to conditions requiring the City to maintain certain easement areas to the
extent those areas are located on property owned by the School District. Based 'Upon
conversations with the Watershed District's engineer, John Hamon, I have been advised that this
condition arises out of requirements set forth in th-e Watershed District's rules and regulations.
See Rules and Regulations of the Valley Branch Watershed District § 5, Subd. 3(C)(1).
Although the Distxict is likewise subject to the Watershed Distdcfs rules and regulations, it is
certainly �
cert y our intent to cooperate with the City i n all reasonable respects to facilitate an acceptable
resolution of this matter.
Thank you for your assistance in this smatter, and please call me if you, have any questions
whatsoever.
Very truly yours,
