Councilmember Johns confirmed that a retention pond would be investigated as a possible <br /> solution. <br /> Mr. Miske stated that the cheaper solution may be to demolish the existing homes and rebuild. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that this item will be brought back on May 19th. <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton provided a brief overview of the other two areas of flooding concern <br /> identified within the case, noting that the issues are less severe and the potential solutions would <br /> be costly. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that staff has spoken with neighboring cities but they do not have <br /> the same problems because they have more relief and elevation differential. <br /> 5.02: Consider the Surface Water Management Plan Update <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton reviewed the staff report and briefly summarized the results of the pipe <br /> and pond summary. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that City Administrator Ulrich could not attend this evening but had <br /> asked if there were any cost implications related to the updating of the Surface Water <br /> Management Plan.
