Public Works Director Erickson described the location of the proposed infiltration <br />basin noting it would have a one-foot grade over a four-foot distance. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the City had any wiggle room with the number of infiltration <br />basins that were needed for Area I. Public Works Director Erickson stated the number of <br />infiltration basins was recommended by Bolton & Menk, but noted there was a little bit of wiggle <br />room. He indicated the City could put the property at 2090 Oakwood Drive at the bottom of the <br />priority list. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty discussed the reason the City had to install infiltration basins and the increased <br />costs the City would have to incur if the infiltration basins were not installed. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Hull.
