AFFIDAVIT OF ADAM NAFSTAD

COUNTY OF WRIGHT )
ADAM NAFSTAD, being fIrst duly sworn and under oath deposes and states,
under penalty of peIjury, as follows:
1. This affIant is a professional engineer licensed by the State of Minnesota
and employed as a Project Engineer by the engineering fIrm of Bolton &
Menk, Inc. ("BMI").
2. BMI has been retained by the City of Albertville to provide engineering
consulting services. This affIant, through his employ with BMI, is
currently serving in the capacity of Assistant Engineer for the City of
Albertville.
3. In 2003 and 2005, during and after heavy storm events, portions of the plats
known as Albert Villas, Albert Villas Second Addition, Albert Villas Third
Addition and Albert Villas Fourth Addition (collectively, "Albert Villas
Development") experienced flooding of streets and lots. During the 2003
I
storm event several homes in one or more of these plats experienced
flooding to the inside of the structure.
4. In late 2005, the City Council of the City of Albertville requested that BMI
conduct a study of the drainage situation affecting the various Albert Villas
plats ("Flood Study"). BMI completed that study and presented it to the
Albertville City Council on April 17, 2006. This AffIant assisted in the
preparation, analysis and presentation of Flood Study to the Albertville City
Council.
5. Upon completion of the Flood Study, it is the professional opinion of BMI
that provisions for drainage and flood control in the Albert . Villas
Development are insufficient in that they do not meet the City of
Albertville ordinance requirements to adequately remove . all natural
drainage that accumulates on the Albert Villas Development, nor did they
meet the ordinance requirements at the time the individual plats within the
Albert Villas Development were approved and fIled.
6. To the best of the AffIant's knowledge, the Flood Study is the fIrst
document presented to the Albertville City Council which presented
fIndings that the drainage in the Albert Villas Development did not meet
the City's ordinance requirements.
