STAFF REPORTS. I 1 A. WSB & Associates, Inc. Report on Flood Mitigation_ (including Resolution 00-016, re: 12 Parking Restrictions on 29th Avenue NE). 13 Mornson introduced Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, Inc. and invited him to address the 14 Council. Mr. Hubmer stated that he would provide for the Council a brief history of the flood 6 improvement project. As recently as 1987, the City experienced significant flooding problems. 17 At that time, RCM was hired to complete an analysis of the flooding issues. It was determined to 18 postpone any improvements because financing was a concern. Flooding again occurred in 1990, 19 and this in turn was followed by an engineering analysis in response to citizens' concerns. 20 Furthermore, additional flooding occurred in 1997, and at this time, a stormwater task force was 21 formed to address the water issue. During that time, 77 homes reported damage as a result of 22 flooding from the 1997 storm, and it was believed that other homes suffering damage were unre 23 ported. As a result of the efforts from the task force, an engineering analysis was drafted and an 24 implementation program was started to provide 100-year flood protection. Financing continued 25 to be an obstacle, but funding was actively sought. 26 Mr. Hubmer directed the Council's attention to a letter dated January 6, 2000 from WSB & 27 Associates to the City of St. Anthony. This letter provides an update on the current status of 28 flood projects within the City, and Mr. Hubmer proceeded to review the letter with the Council. 29 In short, the following projects are currently at various stages of completion: 30 1. Silver Point Park and Central Park Storm Water Storage Improvements. Storm water 31 holding areas at Silver Point Park and Central Park are 95% complete. Although minor issues need to be completed at both parks, it is anticipated that the Silver Point Park Grand Reopening will be held in the spring of 2000.
