16~?~ Drainage Installation of the catch basins at Holton and Garden is scheduled for the first of next week if possible. Flat Catch Basins will be put in so the same castings can be used if, at a later date curb and gutter are put in. Sidewalks The sidewalk referred to was inspected. It has been raised about 1?"' by tree roots. There are others in the same block where the same thing has happened. The Engineers will make a complete survey and recommendations. Attorney Galvin reported the Village could proceed under the nuisance ordinance which might enable us to require the owner to remove the tree. ~ notice should be served on the owner. We could proceed under Ordinance 35 which is broad enough to include cutting roots. Under Ordinance 55, all owners have to be notified and a date set for a hearing. If the Village went in and cut the roots under the Nuisance Ordinance, the Village would have to pay the costs. Snell-Idaho Mayor Nilsen will check his records to see what the residents Playground agreed to do in connection with landscaping the Iowa play- grounds. Falcon Woods The Gage property has been cleaned up by Ryan Landscaping. Ryan will come back later and correct drainage by re- shaping and sodding the Roselawn ditch East of Prior on the south side. Pumv: Lemberg presented information he had. on a pump for the Iowa Playground but will get additional prices and report later. He estima+ed a 3 to 500 gallon pump out the swale section in about 15 hours. Pump would cost around a thousand dollars and last about 10 years. A 4" trash pump was recommended. ?3udget The surfacing on Arona should be taken care of as soon as possible. It will cost about three thousand dollars of State Aid Funds. They suggest we hold the rest of the 1962 State Aid Allotment until 1963 when we should have enough funds to proceed. They would like to do something about Crawford from Arona East and as far up Simpson as necessary to correct drainage. Simpson should be cut down back to wherethere is a good grade; the present base removed; the existing surface used as fill and a new surface installed. They recommend that the Council adopt a policy of not doing any ma3or work on any streets unless curb and gut„„ter is first installed. The work at Crawford and Simpson would cost about ~ix.:thousand dollars without curb and gutter. It would also cost about fifteen hundred dollars for curb and 18"' gutter at X2.50 per foot. They would like to set up a program where the Village would take one street a year, put in an adequate base, surface, and curb and gutter. Each year do one street so it is done well. i~ 1 1
