He 18 indicated that meetings were held with residents this spring to discuss their concerns regarding 19 back yard drainage issues and explained that this area drains to the north and over time, people 20 have installed fences, landscaping, etc. and the area currently does not drain effectively. He 21 stated the project proposes to install a new storm sewer along the back lot lines with catch basins 22 and it will be the property owner's responsibility to direct run -off to the drain. He noted that 23 property owners will be responsible for 35% of the cost of these drainage improvements, 24 estimated at $16,000, and the City will be responsible for 65% of these costs or approximately 25 $29,000, which is consistent with the City's flood proofing grant programs. He indicated that 26 this portion of the project is proposed to be bid as an alternate in the 2012 street and utility 27 improvement project. He also reviewed total project costs, funding sources for the project, and 28 project schedule. 29 30 Councilmember Roth requested further information regarding the proposed back yard drainage 31 improvements and expressed concern about using a bulldozer in these areas. 32 33 City Engineer Hubmer explained that the City will use directional drilling to drill a pipe 34 approximately three feet below grade without disturbing the surface.
