Staff performed some survey work and determined that the outlet weir was set at an elevation that would cause water to pond beyond the drainage and utility easement prior to discharging through the emergency outfall to the river. Staff feels that the Public Works Department can perforn~ all work except the landscaping. The Public Works Committee recommended that the City Council approve that an analysis of the drainage basin be conducted and that necessary corrective action be taken to ensure that the 100 year precipitation event is contained within the drainage and utility easement at a contracted construction cost not to exceed $2,000 which shall come fi'om the storm water utility. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee and approve that an analysis of the drainage basin be conducted and that necessary corrective action be taken to ensure that the 100 year precipitation event is contained within the drainage and utility easement at a contracted construction cost not to exceed $2,000 which shall come from the storm water utility.

The Public Works Committee discussed several options and came up with the idea of monitoring the speed on Neon Street and 169th Avenue as a first step, installing warning signs at the intersection, and following up with monitoring the speed after the chevrons have been installed.
