He discussed how the City has been setting aside funds in anticipation of this project. He reported the City had a capital improvement plan in place to address both Ardan and Silver View Ponds. He commented further on the data that had to be collected in order for the City to apply for grants. Brian Amundsen, 3048 Woodale Drive, recognized this project was about Ardan Park, but asked when neighborhood stormwater features would be addressed. He stated he recently saw public works working on the pond in his neighborhood. He suggested the City pursue additional grants in order to address these storm water ponds.

He stated he had spoken with Rice Creek Watershed to see if there were other grants available for this work. Dr. Strait asked what the total cost of this project would be.
