City Engineer Wagner provided project and development updates.
City Administrator/Finance Director Flaherty said materials were distributed regarding a
resident with a drainage issue that was at the last Council meeting. City Engineer Wagner
reviewed the property's drainage, which was established in 1972; this is an existing drainage
pattern that was established 52 years ago. The resident asked if a storm drainage could be
installed, which would require 750 feet of piping. City Engineer Wagner said staff looked at a
recent rain fall event and the culvert was dry. City Attorney Kendall does not see any legal
issues with the existing drainage. CM Dunlap asked if the homeowner could do the work
themselves. City Engineer Wagner said yes, the grading plan would need to be reviewed and
approved by staff, the property owner cannot block the existing drainage pattern. Mayor
Aockamp asked about the water flow. City Engineer Wagner said the map provided the
direction of water flow.
