AUTHOR.I.ZATION TO PROCEED: DRAINAGE STUDY FOR OLD VILLAGE Larry Bohrer requested that TKDA be authorized to immediately begin on the field survey phase of the Old Village Drainage Study. This area was determined to be the most pressing need in light of the flooding last spring. Bohrer noted in his letter, dated December 13, 1989, with the light snow cover, ground conditions are still favorable to complete this work in December. Waiting until 1990 may make this task more time consuming because of deeper snow cover. The approved 1990 budget allocated $5,000 for drainage study work in the Old Village Area. north of the CNW Railroad.. This amount was reduced from a total budget request of $20,000 which would have studied the Old Village north of the CNW Railroad plus Legion Pond, Reid Park Pond, 32nd Street Pond, Downs Lake, Eden Park Pond and Durands Pond, and consolidated them into one unified report. Work performed in December is not due and payable until February; therefore, fitting into the 1990 budget timeframe. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to authorize the City Engineer to begin immediately on the field survey phase of the Old Village Drainage Study limited to a total expense of $5,000 allocated in the 1990 Budget.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW Administrator Morrison explained she had contacted an attorney relative to Councilman Williams' request to either resign or be fired which was a result of a discussion between Councilmen Williams, Hunt and herself. Morrison added her attorney insisted she be fired and go through the public hearing process, but she had decided to resign effective December 19, 1989 with 10 weeks pay including benefits, plus credit for unused vacation time. If the Council concurs, she asks that the City Attorney write up the agreement.
