He stated that the funding would be used to complete the replacement of the warming.house at Silver Point Park and to construct flood improvements at Shamrock and Silver Lane. Regarding the Street Reconstruction Capital Improvement Plan, Hubmer stated that the map of the anticipated Capital Improvement Program for the street reconstruction projects within the Village was subject to change due to budgetary limits, or if some of the roads deteriorate more rapidly than anticipated. Hubmer reviewed the Water and Wastewater Needs study with regard to the redevelopment of Apache Plaza and the southern shopping area. To determine the impact of this new development on the City's water and wastewater system, it is necessary to complete an assessment. Hubmer continued that the study will evaluate the water needs associated with adding between 400 and 700 new housing units in the Apache Plaza area and determine if adding additional housing units in the St. Anthony shopping area on the south end of the Village will have an adverse impact on water supply. The study will also identify the needs and necessary improvements to accommodate the additional housing units. The wastewater portion of the needs study will evaluate the capacity of the existing Foss Road lift station and the trunk sanitary system which serves Apache Plaza. Furthermore, the study will look at the wastewater system south of 27`h Avenue, in order to identify which type of improvements would be necessary. The water and wastewater needs study is proposed to be completed for$48,5000. Hubmer referred to the 2002 Flood Improvement Grant Program, and stated that there were a few homeowners who were unable to complete a flood improvement project in 2001: He indicated that WSB will continue to work with these homeowners to complete those projects early this summer. Hubmer concluded with the Silver Point Park Project. He indicated that the rain and snow in November prevented the grading and seeding contractors from completing their work in the park. He stated that they anticipate installing additional drain tile in the west side of the park to improve drainage and complete finish grading as soon as conditions allow. He added that hydro seeding on the east field is anticipated to occur during the week of April 22, 2002. Councilmember Sparks asked when they anticipated that the park would be back in use. Hubmer indicated that they were hoping to hydro seed a portion in May, which takes about four weeks to develop and come up. He added that they anticipate use this summer, over-seeding in the fall, resulting in plush grass in the spring. Councilmember Faust asked if Hubmer knew the number of grants associated with the Flood Improvement Program over the years. Hubmer stated that it must be close to fifty.
