The issue of drainage improvements associated with the project was also of particular interest to the Committee. A conceptual drainage scheme has been formulated at this time.

Staff has suggested a meeting during the week of September 14 to include the City's storm drainage plans into the design. Staff will advise the Committee of the time of this meeting if they wish to attend. Finally appraisals have been initiated on the twelve remaining single family residences. Eric Bjorklund has already inspected two residences and has made appointments with most of the other residents. Committee Action: No Action Required.
