Meeting called to order at 7:03 PM by Mayor Eder.

Y
Flood Control;Engineer Noyes advised that Lake Jane had receded from 921.94 to
921.67 from Sept.. 2 thru Sept. 9, roughly 3"..
He reported that to construct a 30" gravity outlet from Lake Jane to
Berschen's Pond would cost approximately $30,000., Based on cost of pumping
it would take 3.42 occurances to break even with gravity outlet. Again
based on history this type of high water conditions exists only once every
25 years. The break even point in terms of time is then.85.5 years. A
similar realationship for a lift station from Berschen's Pond to the
city park shows a break even time factor of 142 years. Equipment involved
in lift station would probably have to be replaced every 25 years,.
Mr. Noyes submitted a Flood Control Outline of Study, dated September 2,
1975, for consideration.
Motion by Councilman Shervheim 2nd by Councilwoman Lyons to approve the
preliminary concept for the interim plan. Carried 5-0.
Adjournment: Motion by Councilman Abercrombie 2nd by Councilman Shervheim to adjourn
