City Council Study Session Summary January 21, 2014 Page 2 of 4 golf course drainage but does not include work for flood mitigation. A discussion ensued regarding if flood mitigation should be performed and that it will change the work being done. Gambon said the GCAB is meeting at 6:30 pm on January 27, 2014 to review cost estimates which will be included in the City Council packet for February 4, 2014. Councilmember Jasiak stated that before the golf course is reconstructed she hoped non-golfers and how they can utilize the golf course would be taken into consideration. Gambon replied that the GCAB encourages people to use the course when there is snow on it and walk the cart paths when the course is not in operation. The GCAB would like to work on a marketing plan that includes outreach to non-golfers. Councilmember Jasiak thanked the GCAB for keeping that in mind. Councilmember Dalton asked for a listing of issues category by category. He said the issues seemed to be: Water draining off the golf course to private property that is unacceptable What can be done if we have another 100 year flood event. rdth Gambon said the 3 and 15 holes have drainage issues that can be easily be mitigated under the LU reconstruction. Councilmember Jasiak asked for clarification: future flood damage control in not in the LU contract? Gambon replied that is correct; the LU contract is to restore and reconstruct the course. Any flood mitigation needs to be engineered. Parks Director Stevens said steps will be taken to evaluate flooding issues using flood maps. Major flood mitigation including flow rates, volume, incremental changes will be made. Councilmember Stolzmann asked who is looking at flood/melt and how it affects hole #15. Jeff Cordes of Landscapes Unlimited said LU will do no engineering to protect against 100 year flood issues but the LU team will evaluate drainage concerns on hole #15. The Request for Proposal was for improvements and flood damage repair. Cordes said hole #3 drains into a pond. LU may be able to redirect stormwater away from the HOA pond. Kevin Norby, golf course architect is exploring alternatives dependent upon an engineering analysis. David Moore, Alliance Engineer, spoke about a study done, now in draft form commissioned by Urban Drainage. It is not within the scope of the CCGC project to address a global flood event. Holes #3 and #15 are a simple fix.
