AN ORDIMAMCE RELATIMG TO THE PARKING OF VEHICLES: AMENDING SECTiOM 720:05 OF THE 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES I have revised the ordinance in accordance with our discussions at the last meeting. ACTIOM: Recommend approval as is and if we see problems developing during the forthcoming months we can amend the ordinance. 7. Old Business a. Discussion of drainage problem in area of 39th E Fordham. Over the past several years we have alternately received requests from the gentleman who owns the two vacant lots at the corner of 39th and Fordham and the residents north of there to do something about the drainage problem that exists there. • I have 'declined the owners requests to run a storm sewer line to the rear of the properties to take care of the drainage as it should be his responsibility to do any work necessary on the property itself. However, we are faced with numerous calls every spring and after each bad storm to pump the area out and in order to prevent a tragedy like a child drowning we have been pumping the area out. The pumping is quite costly and provides no long term solution. Therefore I would recommend that we install a catch basin behind the curb but on the boulevard in the area of the drainage easement. We will also have to straighten out the drainage ditch so it runs over to our catch basin. By doing this we will solve the ponding problem and the property owner or future owners will be able to connect into our catch basin and put in the drainage they will need to develop the lots. ACTION: Recommend we authorize the maintenance department to install catch basin and straighten out ditch. 8. New Business a. Discussion of presenting honorary citizenship certificates to A.F.S. students. Does the Council want to set a date to make the presentation so the staff can make the necessary arrangements. b. Mr. Henry Zeug has submitted his resignation as city plumbing inspector effective December 1st. Mr. Zeug has worked for the city since approximately 1953 and his service to the city has always been outstanding. (feel it should be appropriate if we presented Mr. Zeug a certificate of appreciation is for his long faithful service. c. Canvas Election. When election officials have completed the tabulation of election results the Council should canvas the results.
