Council member Gesch arrived at 7:05 p.m.
Faulkner stated that on June 10, 2014, the Council approved the 2014 storm drainage projects
including receipt of quotes. Subsequent rains caused Staff to reevaluate the recommended
projects. As a result, Staff is recommending the removal of Bradford Lane Drainage
improvement project due to questionable city ownership of an effected propery, and adding a
grading improvement project in the Maywood Road Right -of -Way, between Fairview Lane and
Chateau Lane. This project would create an earthen berm to divert the upstream runoff to both
adjacent roadways. The revised total project cost changed from $108,000 to approximately
$95,000.
Mayor Hanus asked about the amount of water being diverted on the streets and the
subsequent impact in large rain events. Faulkner stated that it was not calculated precisely, but
a culvert is not practical and the streets just can't be designed for an 100 year rain event.
Mayor Hanus requested the resolution reference the amended estimate of $95,000 in the
resolution.
MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Salazar, to approve the following resolution as amended. All
voted in favor. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 14 -65: RESOLUTION AMENDING REPORT AND AUTHORIZING
PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND RECEIPT OF QUOTES FOR THE
