!Q'MORANDUM <br />Memo To :Mayor and City Council. Members <br />From :Ric Minetor, Director of Public Wor%ek <br />Date :March 30, 1989 <br />Subject :Arden Avenue Drainage Study Presentation. <br />?rocky Keehn of Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, Inc. will present the <br />final report on the Ardan Avenue Sub -District Drainage Study at <br />the April 3rd agenda session. Please review the attached report. <br />Rocky will answer any questions or concerns. This report was <br />presented to the Environmental Quality Task Force at their <br />MarcA 21st meeting. The consensus was 'co approve the report and <br />recommend it to council with the understanding that specific <br />projects would include input from the task force at the <br />appropriate time. <br />The graphic in the report which shows the Edgewood Drainage <br />District and the Arden Drainage Sub -District also indicates the <br />amount of the overall City drainage covered by these 2 reports. <br />State statutes require us to prepare a Storm Water Management <br />Plan, and it appears appropriate to negotiate an agreement with <br />SEH fo: this plan. They would be able to integrate the 2 studies <br />they have completed as well as some of their past work. Since <br />other consultants would need to review these studies and become <br />familidr with the City's ordinances and policies, it is apparent <br />that SEH would be more timely and cost-effective. <br />With the Edgewood and Ardan studies completed, and the <br />possibility of the City wide Storm Water Management Plan being <br />undertaken; the questions of financing construction projects <br />becomes pertinent. We have been able to finance these studies <br />with our Storm Water Management Fund. we will have some funds <br />available from this source for minor projects, also. The major <br />projects and the operaticn and maintenance of the system is <br />beyond the funds available. Therefore, a new source of funds <br />needs to be identified. I have discussed the concept of a Storm <br />Water Management utility in the past. I have also recently <br />attended a seminar on these utilities. Attached is a brief <br />overview of the concept. <br />
