MINUTE5 <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />September 13, 1989 <br />houses, look at the impact of ponds downstream. <br />Lobermeier estimated the cost of the plan for Little <br />Canada at between $38,000 to $44,000 with the cost of <br />photos at approximately $17,000. Lobermeier reported <br />that the Law does not require 2-foot elevations, but it <br />has been SEH's experience that this is the best way to <br />qo. The elevations would be a valuable resource to the <br />City. <br />Blesener suqgested that the matter be tabled until the <br />City has a new Administrator on board. One of the <br />issues for the Administrator to study is how the plan <br />will be paid for. <br />Fahey also pointed out that the City will have a new <br />City Engineer and suqgested that the City may also need <br />to hire Mr. Carley on a consultant basis to assist in <br />preparation of the plan. <br />Council thanked the representatives of SEA for their <br />presentation. <br />THUNDER BAY The City Engineer reported that he has an estimate in <br />DRAINAGE the amount of $2,800 from Frattalone Excavating for <br />cleaning the drainage ditch between Thunder Bay and <br />Ontario Road north of Allen Avenue. This estimate does <br />not include the replacement of sod. The Engineer <br />stated that if the City took bids for the work and <br />assessed the project, it could be that the cost would <br />be double the $2,800 since the project is a small one <br />and legal fees, etc. would be substantial in relation <br />to the cost of the work itself. The Engineer suggested <br />that perhaps there is a way to get the property owners <br />to agree to the work and collect payment from them. <br />The City Engineer pointed out that the project only <br />effects about six properties. These property owners <br />have had their backyards filled to the property line in <br />the backyard, filling in the drainage swale. <br />Fahey suggested that the Engineer put together an <br />information calculation of the amount of benefit to <br />each property, and contact the property owners <br />proposing an informal assessment arrangement. If such <br />an agreement cannot be reached, Fahey pointed out that <br />the City will have to formally assess the properties <br />and the assessment could be double. <br />Page 18 <br />
