Case #3: Status Report on Drainage Issue <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski presented a list of individual drainage concerns. He noted that <br />seven locations have been added to the list that was last seen by this Committee. He <br />summarized the issues and the locations and stated that the direction was to have the City <br />Attorney provide some guidance on the City's responsibility for correcting drainage issues. <br />He felt this task could best be accomplished by formulating a policy with regard to <br />addressing this issue. This would provide the Attorney with an opportunity to research and <br />respond to specific items. He presented a draft policy for response to storm water flooding <br />and suggested it would require discussion prior to adoption. <br /> <br />Loft Farber was present to discuss the septic field flooding at 6508 - 171st Lane N.W. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to direct <br />Mr. Mevissen and Mr. Jankowski to meet with Ms. Farber to determine what solution can <br />be provided. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Councilmember Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The policy was discussed further. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that a pumping <br />policy would be a temporary solution. Mr. Jankowski stated that you have to weigh <br />economics - some drainage issues may have to be dealt with on an emergency basis but felt <br />too that the policy should be formalized. He suggested the Road and Bridge Committee, <br />the City Council and the City Attorney should review this policy. Mr. Schroeder stated that <br />there are 22 items on the punch list and with no policy, City staff is not sure how to <br />approach the issues. A policy would be a definite aid. Councilmember Zimmerman felt <br />that it would be hard to address the entire City with one policy, but it will have to be <br />reviewed. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to <br />adjourn the meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: <br />None. <br /> <br />The regular meeting of the Road and Bridge Committee adjourned at 6:56 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectful.~l~ submitted, ( ~ ~////~ <br /> <br />St'even J Janl(¢/~i <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee/August 8, 1995 <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
