Page 3 <br />City Manager Malone advised that another problem is Pride Branch <br />(Buttermilk Creek) South of Lamar Avenue at Collegiate Drive, and <br />presented pictures of the area. City Manager Malone said as this area <br />developed, small concrete ditches were installed, there has been <br />flooding in this area, and when we went forward with the N. Collegiate <br />Project, one of the things that was considered at the time was we would <br />have to do drainage improvement to the ditch South of Lamar. City <br />Manager Malone said all the engineering recommendations we had at the <br />time was that the flow would not represent an increase of run off, but <br />over a four or five year period that with the area being developed, we <br />will have flooding problems. The Engineer has advised that he feels as <br />soon as the paving is in on S. Collegiate Drive, we will see an <br />increase in flow. We are talking about approximately $500,000. and we <br />only have $85,000. to $90,000. in escrow for drainage and right of way. <br />The Committee made a recommendation that City Staff start planning the <br />proper improvement of this area, and recommended to the Council to <br />place this drainage area on the priority list. <br />There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. <br />BILLY J. BURNETT, CHAIRMAN <br />ATTEST: <br />MATTIE CUNNINGHAM, CITY CLERK <br />
