r o City Council Regular Meeting Minutes July 28, 1998 Page 6 1 Mr. Hubmer explained the cost to implement the Flood Relief Grant Program for these eight 2 properties totals $52,700 which does not include the costs to administer the program which,to 3 date, is approximately $3,400. 4 5 Mr. Hubmer advised that applications were also received from other residents but did not qualify 6 for this program since they were not eligible for participation, were in areas where the City is 7 currently considering the construction of public improvements to provide 100-year flood 8 protection, involved sanitary sewer backup which is beyond the scope of the Flood Relief Grant 9 Program, or were ineligible since they addressed backyard drainage problems. 10 Motion by Faust, second by Marks to approve Resolution 98-060,re: Approving applicants for 11 participation in and the 1998 budget for the 1998 Flood Relief Grant Program as indicated above. 12 Motion carried unanimously 13 C. Resolution 98-061, re: Order Report for 1999 Street Improvement Project. 14 Mr. Hubmer reviewed the preliminary recommendation for streets to include in the 1999 Street 15 and Watermain Improvement Project. The focus will be to look at improving streets for flood 16 mitigation measures to handle improvements being implemented.
