The Mosquito Control recommend we secure easements from the property ovmers to allow them to 1iiden and straighten this ditch. They ~~ll make a survey and put the right elevation for drainage and vnll maintain it at no cost to the City. This vnll be on a permanent basis. I suggest the City Attorney handle the necessary paper work to secure these easements. Mayor Shaeffer instructed Attorney Chisholm to get to work on this right away. Attorney Chisholm ask if the Mosquito Control would pay Mr. Swoope to get the description of the property, and if so we could prepare the necessary papers. I am sure most of the people would give this easement to help control the mosquitos. I 1~11 contact Hr. Braddock and see "That he wants. Eouncilman Maler ask if the City could just advertise this and not go through all this other routine as the time was getting short as the Mosquito Control is to be working in this area in March.
