12/6/83 Page -5- Drainage The major concerns as far as the drainage, felt that this was minor.

In the southern area appoximately 2 ft. across those berms would require the amount of drainage necessary. The drainage pieces are already in place. It was his understanding that it would stand the 50 year, not the 100 year flood plan. Because of the ground be frozen it was difficult to surface that properly and prepare it for sod. He felt that one of the most critical items was the 5' piece of sidewalk which was not complete. There was also a manhole cover that was approximately l~ ft. above where it should be.

This was the request at this time. Would be happy to address any of council's questi0ns. Then stated that the door closurers are in however the things that are not in are the smoke screens,which are now available and will be put in place permanently by the time of the concert. This would be in the gymnasium area as well as the chapel area, and these were the only fire concerns within the building. conditional Felt that by issuing a/certificate of occu- pancy at this time would place liability on the City and was aware that our Attorney cringed at the mention of this. would like to have something in writing releasing the City from this liability.

However, if the door seals work, and the smoke seals work, he would be willing to give a temporary CO for December la, 16, and 17;
