Mr. Douglas reviewed the GIS mapping, storm water modeling, wetland management plan, WRMP documents, financing and the NPDES Phase II permit needs. He noted that this is a draft copy as they continue to work on a few glitches that have been discovered. He stated that staff has pretty much approved the current conditions and feels the transition should be pretty seamless. He reviewed some of the maps and how the GIS mapping works and noted that they have completed field verification on the maps. He stated that one of their biggest recommendations to the City is a change in the ordinance for post development run off to be 75%. He stated that they also recommend encouraging infiltration basins, rain gardens and that the City require soil ripping of compacted turf areas. Staff is recommending that the City Council put this document out for comment and their hope is that this will be completed in time to be part of the comprehensive plan and after comments are returned, staff thinks it would be a good idea to schedule a Council Work Session to discuss tlus document. Motion to recommend to the City Council that the draft Surface Water Management Plan be accepted by the Council and send copies to the reviewing agencies. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #7: Consider Sale of Surplus Property located at 5860157th Lane Background: Staff reviewed the history of this surplus property and noted that the City had solicited for bids to remove the property in September of 2007 and only one legitimate bid came back at $103.50. The other bids received thought the City would be paying to have the house removed. The legitimate bid was from Mark Pugh who has recently contacted the City and verbally offered to pay $5,000 for the house. The City would be required to take care of removal of the foundation which has an estimated cost of $10,000. Staff is recommending the City accept the offer from Mr. Pugh because they believe this is the best offer the City will get. Motion to recommend to the City Council that it accept Mr. Pugh's offer for the purchase of the structure located at 5860 157th Lane, and that $5,000 be allocated from the Public Improvement Revolving Fund for the removal and filling of the foundation by the Public Works Department. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee Case #8 Overview of 2008 Street Maintenance Program _122_
