City Council Drainage Study Committee <br />April 2, 2001 <br />Page 3 <br />is about to tip off of the ridge, it is not that ditch, but the big ditch that <br />small ditch connects to. The City Manager said everyone is aware of and <br />what they understand is most of the residents that live on both sides of that <br />ditch would not like to see it improved. City Manager Malone said what <br />the city would propose is to do some surveying, and it would be worthwhile <br />to go in there and see if there are any large trees that are obstructing the <br />ditch or diverting water where it might erode some homeowners yard. He <br />said they were not proposing to make any improvement, but it may be that <br />they can get the residents in agreement and make them understand what the <br />issue might be. <br />City Manager Malone said Project No. Five is a ditch behind 33rd Street S. <br />E. running north and south from Clarksville Street on Stacy Lane back up <br />into the subdivision. He said this project has already been taken care of by <br />Terry Townsend. <br />Project Number Six is a project identified when the 1993 Certificate of <br />Obligation were issued, known as Big Sandy Creek Tributary No. 4, which <br />is a section that runs south from Collegiate Drive to Clarksville Street <br />behind the Village Shopping Center. City Manager Malone said basically <br />that ditch has been cleaned out, it is running, and it is not causing any <br />problems other than the vegetation and standing water. The City Manager <br />said he thinks they have that under a plan for over $600,000.00. City <br />Manager Malone said when the city issued the certificate of obligations, <br />this project was talked about and identified as one of the main projects to <br />be accomplished. He said this would mean concreting and lining the ditch, <br />which would mean the ditch system from Lamar Avenue all the way to <br />Clarksville Street would be concrete lined, and much easier to maintain, but <br />as it was reported previously, the 24' Street priority, which the committee <br />has already made, is likely to take quite a bit of funding. City Manager <br />Malone said as our funding is limited, he would still recommend holding <br />
