Case #5: Update on Stormwater Planning Staffpresented a brief summary of the City's significant stormwater studies. The purpose of the case was to develop a scope of work that a new stormwater plan would address. The draft Joint Powers Agreement between the City and the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) for obtaining jurisdiction of the selected county ditches was also discussed. The Committee directed modifications to that draft agreement be made before discussing the agreement further with the LRRWMO. No action is necessary at this time. Case #6: Consider Septic System Inspection Program This case was tabled due to time constraints. Case #7: Update on I53ra/155th Avenue Project In order for this project to proceed to construction, the following activities would need to occur: (1) Plans and specifications would need to be updated (they were prepared in 1995); (2) Four land parcel appraisals would need to be updated; (3) Eminent domain action would need to be initiated by April 1999. In addition, the Volkman parcel acquisition may need to be reconsidered. The proposed taking does not include the Volkman's homestead, however, the project significantly changes the nature of their parcel and the Volkmans have been strongly opposed to the project in the past. It is Staff's suggestion that conversation be initiated with the Volkmans to determine whether they would prefer to have the entire property acquired in return for relinquishing relocation rights. The Committee recommended that the City Attorney be consulted and involved in such discussions with the Volkmans. Council Action: Direct City Attorney to review alternatives for the Volkman acquisition. Case #8: Consider Planning the Development of Section 28 This case identified a number of scope-of-work activities that would be associated with the planning of Section 28. Those items are listed in the case. In addition to those items, the scope of work should include alternatives to accommodating the request of Mrs. Millis for access to C.R. #116. Mrs. Millis is the daughter of Mr. Peltzer who donated the eastern half of the C.R. #116 right-of-way. Council Action: Direct Staff to prepare a Request for Proposals outlining the scope of work to prepare a plan for Section 28. I I I I I I I I I I' I i I I
