The county has earmarked $95,000 for the ditch project and Bollant today said the section now discussed could be built for about $122,000. Each government would pay half the cost. Both governments would like to build it next year, but must await approval from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, a sometimes time-consuming process. THE SECTION west of Orrin must be a joint project between the city and the Minnesota Highway Department, and Bollant said city efforts to get the MUD to earmark the funds have not yet been successful. The second phase of the Joint city-county project would likely be through the CST campus to 1 1 Avenue, officials agreed.

From Gilmore to Lake Winona will be the city's project entirely. Commissioners won substantial agreement from Bollant that ence completed, the city would take over maintenance and free the county from future responsibility there. The city council must resolve the parking ticket question, and County Attorney Julius E. Ger-nes said it should soon act to begin paying the county its 50 percent share of parking fine revenues. State law requires the county collect the fine money and pay half of it back to the city, but the city is currently collecting it all and keeping it.

The county doesn't want enforcement responsibilities and Gernes said it legally isn't empowered to take them, and City Attorney George Robertson emphasized that the city doesn't want to give up its efficient collection system.
