CITY COUNCIL DRAINAGE STUDY COMMITTEE MEETING April 2, 2001 The City Council Drainage Study Committee met in special session on Monday April 2, 2001, 6:00 P.

The lot was bordered on two sides by drainage coming across the front and down beside the house.

The culvert was properly sized at that time. City Manager Malone said the second project in this area was from this same culvert due
