what the City can do in the case of flooding:
in the case where - nearby

checked out with the DNR.
The Army Corps and the Minn. Dept. of Emergency

Tim O'Laughlin, Scott County CiTtl Defense. Mr. O'Laughlin stated that
wany of the agencies like the DNR,
, will help as soon as they can legally.
They have certain criteria they must, fulfill before they can step In. The

public property must be involved, This is
the City sewer system, streets, roads, etc. in order to receive presiders-
