Mr. Ridgeway commented that the water runs through the property to the west at a much lower <br /> elevation than the home and further distance from the home. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if the resident would be willing to participate in a cost-share if <br /> the cost were $10,000. <br /> Mr. Ridgeway replied that he would not be willing to pay anything as it was the City that changed <br /> the contour of their yard. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if the resident is speaking about the replacement of the septic system. <br /> Mr. Ridgeway confirmed that the new septic system was installed and noted that the City also <br /> recontoured the yard. <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that public works did some <br /> regrading of the property in 2017. He commented that was done for the previous property owner <br /> as there was an issue created by the installation of the new septic system. He stated that the new <br /> septic was installed in 2012 and was inspected by the City. He stated that in 2017, the property <br /> owner called the City because of the problems they were having with water getting into the home <br /> so public works did some grading in attempt to keep water from the home. <br /> Chairperson Riley asked if they should consider putting a berm where the sandbags are now in <br /> addition to the proposed plan as extra assurance. <br /> City Engineer / Interim Public Works Director Westby asked if the property owner uses that <br /> entrance. <br /> Mr. Ridgeway replied that his wife uses that lower level as her office and has the dogs with her <br /> which go in and out of that door. He asked how the snow in the winter would melt between the <br /> home and berm. <br /> City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby replied that they have not looked at a berm <br /> option and believe that this solution would work and allow the door to continue to be used. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked when the next planned improvement of Argon would be. <br /> City Engineer/Interim Public Works Director Westby did not believe that is currently scheduled <br /> in the 10-year CIP. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff requested that the realignment of the culvert be included in that <br /> improvement. <br /> Mr. Ridgeway noted that because there is not curb on the road, the water does not follow the <br /> contour of the street and instead empties into their yard. <br /> Public Works Committee/August 22,2022 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
