or informed them of what was proposed. He stated that

improvements.

needed for the proposed ponding.

Regular Meeting Page Three
Councilmember Wuori stated she was concerned about the
depth of the water that would be in the pond, and that
she feared it would be full, or close to full, all
summer long, and she was concerned with the safety
issue.
Councilmember Quick asked if there was anything else
that could be done, to construct it differently, that
it might be more acceptable.
Director Thatcher replied he could negotiate further
with the developer, if the Council requested him to,
for more land to put the pond on. He stated they
could require steeper slopes on the inside of the
pond so it would not be so deep, but that would
present a problem in cutting the grass. He added
that any time there is an oraphus, there is a danger
of debris plugging up.
Mayor Linke asked how long the water from a hundred
year storm would sit there, the way it is proposed.
Director Thatcher replied that with the 41' depth at
the deepest point, and the majority being 21' to 31'
deep, it would take 4 hours. He added it would take
about 15 minutes to fill with a short 100 year storm,
and it would fill to capacity with any 100 year storm,
and that over a longer time, the storm sewer system
has a better chance to carry away water without
backing up onto the residential property.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley asked for a clarification
of what the Council would like Staff to do at this time.
Mayor Linke asked that they go back to the developer
and see what better solution can be worked out.
Councilmember Quick stated he was not against the
development itself, and he feels it will be very
attractive, but he has a problem with the storm water
situation, which must be resolved.
It was the feeling of the Council that their concern
was with the depth of the proposed detention pond, and
they would like it larger and shallower in nature.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she agrees with the
concern about the depth, but Mr. Cook has done what he
was directed to by Staff, and has followed what is
required by City ordinance, and she is concerned with
that.

recently regarding the Williams Pipeline case. He
reported the court is allowing them to reopen and
operate, not exceeding 900 lbs. pressure in the line.
He pointed out, however, that these are preliminary
findings and there will be a trial in the future
regarding a permanent injunction.

not certain what their timeline is. He added the

investigation, and he feels their findings will be
valuable to the City.

diligently pursue the removal or replacement of the
pipeline, and will continue to work for that.
