9/18/84 Page -8- <br />The first objective that they had was a <br />friendly amicable resolution of the problem <br />and they wished to work very much with the <br />City. Also they wished the City could <br />figure out someway to get them an answer <br />from the insurance company or prod them <br />to delve into it. Mr. Grant stated that <br />he had dealt with the City's insurance <br />adjuster 4-5 times in the spring of this <br />year; but they still hadn't received an <br />answer to the insurance question. They <br />are willing to discuss the issues with them <br />at any time. <br />Ken Huson, Engineer Mr. Huson stated thexe are basically two <br />water situations that exist. The natural <br />storm drainage from the subdivisions exits <br />through the tracks underneath an existing <br />railroad culvert, placed there by the RR <br />Company. The water that is pumped is under- <br />drain water of the entire subdivision. <br />The subdivision was platted and developed <br />in the 1970's. The sanitary sewer system <br />has been pumped from the north side of <br />Safeway through a lift station through <br />forced mains to get into the gravity system. <br />That left the problem what to do with the <br />underdrain water. By State Law it cannot <br />go into the sanitary system. Therefore it <br />is pumped into that drainage Swale which <br />then flows down. That probably is as much <br />the problem as the drainage itself because <br />it is a fairly constant flow and ev~~-_._... <br />tually will underdrain the Hunters Ridge <br />Subdivision also as it develops to the <br />west. Most of the ground water originates <br />at the Mesa and a small portion of it from <br />the ditches. <br />Mr. Huson stated that the plans that Mr. <br />Grant had spoken of had been put on hold <br />until staff had the opportunity to look at <br />the entire strorm drainage system. The <br />Public Works Department plans to study the <br />area and map it and get estimates on how <br />much it will cost and then develop a plan <br />to resolve the problem. Mr. Huson stated <br />it would cost approximately $3,000 for map- <br />ping and $8,000 for the study before the <br />construction could be put out for bid. <br />Mr. Grant stated that it maybe those that <br />are living with the problem while the City <br />
