9 <br /> 1 and 32nd Avenues and Coolidge Street and Silver Lake Road for which <br /> 2 staff was seeking proposals form two engineering firms to do a <br /> 3 feasibility study on digging out a holding pond behind some of those <br /> 4 houses in which to store some of the rain which accumulates in that area <br /> 5 after every heavy rainfall. This might alleviate some of the flooding <br /> 6 problems people have experienced over the years, although it would be <br /> 7 almost impossible to prevent all the problems they experienced with the <br /> 8 last two "rains of the century," he added. <br /> 9 The Manager assured Commissioner Wingard that staff had not just <br /> 10 forgotten about those problems and were also considering the purchase of <br /> 11 75 manhole cover liners which would prevent storm water from seeping <br /> 12 into the sanitary sewer system at the same time it let sewer gas out. <br /> 13 Mr. Childs said each liner would cost the City $40 but it was perceived <br /> 14 that would be a good expenditure when the damage to homes from sanitary <br /> 15 sewer lines backing up is considered. <br /> 16 City Ordinance Already Provides Vehicles for Dealing With Vicious <br /> 17 Animals <br /> 18 Mr. Childs indicated the above in response to a question from the Chair <br /> 19 related to Pitt Bull Terriers. He read the sections in the Ordinance <br /> 20 which authorized the killing of the animal if the Police or Animal <br /> 21 rescue workers are not able to safely take them alive. Commissioner <br /> 4V22 Werenicz reported he knew of a Minneapolis "crack house" in North <br /> 23 Minneapolis where he and the Minneapolis "entry team" would be <br /> 24 conducting a search which no doubt would end in the elimination of just <br /> 25 such a guard dog. <br /> 26 ADJOURNMENT <br /> 27 Motion by Hansen, seconded by Madden to adjourn the meeting at 8: 30 P.M. <br /> 28 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Respectfully submitted, <br /> 31 Helen Crowe, Secretary <br /> 32 :cjk <br /> 0 <br />
