DISCUSSION POINTS:
- Drainage as been an ongoing concern. According to Sturm, this project will actually improve drainage in the area.
- It will cost about $50,000 more to put in a water line loop, as opposed to dead ending it which will improve water pressure. The council did not make a commitment to this procedure, but is keeping it in mind for the future.
The council also took action to have all 12 street panels that have cracked on Boulder’s Drive replaced.
After the discussion about the explicit desires of the council regarding fixing the cracked portions of Boulder’s Drive, the council reviews and approves the following document.
