Bill Simmons, City Administrator, explained that this is a project to improve Drainageway D. The drainageway begins in the Enclave, works its way down to the south side of the Recreation Center, and then there is a terminus at the Golf Course at Coal Creek. It is a manmade drainage. The drainageway will be widened and riprap will be placed along its banks. A lot of the willow vegetation will be removed to clear the way for that improvement. The area will be regraded, reseeded, and vegetation will be added back, including trees. Some trees will be saved on the site. The funds for the project came from an account that was established by subdivisions along the drainageway. This is also the extension of the trickle channel that is along Heritage Park. A public meeting was held August 12, 1996, which was attended by neighbors. The City had received a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers for this work under the 404 process. OTHER REGULAR BUSINESS ITEMS ARISING AFTER PREPARATION OF AGENDA NONE CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT NONE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Bill Simmons, City Administrator, reminded Council that this Friday will be the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District inclusion hearing. He reported that last week Louisville, jointly with Boulder County, acquired 46 acres of open space north of Hillsborough North Subdivision, west of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and south of Baseline, known as the Callahan property. Louisville's financial commitment was $200,000 and the County contributed a like amount. In conjunction with that, there are three lots on the northwest corner of the property that will remain in private ownership, not to be into the City of Louisville. The contract also stated that the City will provide water service to that. This arrangement requires an amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement and the hearing will be the February 18 meeting. He informed Council that next week's Work Session will be devoted mostly to Parks Recreation issues.
