City Council Drainage Study Committee <br />April 2, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br />east to the loop. He said one of the projects that is in progress at this time <br />is just west of that, and on the west side of the road there is a drainage ditch <br />that comes back up Clement Road that actually parallels and goes towards <br />North Main Street. City Manager Malone said this is an area where the city <br />is working on the sanitary sewer, and the city is going to lay a new sewer <br />line down in the creek bottom. He said when this is done, they will reshape <br />and open up the drainage ditch. City Manager Malone further advised that <br />at the same time, they will come across and do the dirt work on this number <br />two priority. The cost was proposed at an estimate of $250,000.00, but <br />what the city is going to do is not do anything like they have proposed in <br />the Master Plan, but will do some dirt work, channel through there, and <br />clean out some of the trees and underbrush. Terry Townsend, Director of <br />Public Works, further explained the process of doing this project. <br />The Third Project in the Master Plan is just west of the Hillcrest Addition <br />there is a large pipe with various sizes installed in this addition. City <br />Manager Malone said, if the Committee will recall, several of the citizens <br />have talked about the seepage coming out of the hill from the property <br />above it to the west. He further advised that this pipe goes all the way <br />down to Highway 195, then there is a ditch from Highway 195 that goes on <br />around to Loop 286. Both of those projects were completed under contract <br />several years ago. Terry Townsend pointed out that there are some small <br />project issues with that because of seepage, springs and surface water that <br />the residents were concern about on 22nd N. E. Mr. Townsend said they <br />were going to put an extension on top of the inlet that is currently in place <br />and raise that up. He also said they were going to add another inlet further <br />back to the north where there was a lot of water standing. <br />Project Number Four of the Master Plan is a ditch that is south of Lamar <br />Avenue running north and south behind 31s' Street S.
