9/20/83 Page -13 Mayor Meier Drainage Problem on South Jefferson Commented he assumed all councilmembers had received a letter fom several residents on South Jefferson regarding the drainage and spillway - wished to know the status of this. Administrator Wurl advised tht Director Kasch had written a letter to Medema and the En- gineers that we are going to have to obtain from them what they proposed to do to correct the problem. Staff has some ideas that they need to discuss with them. Councilmembers did not have a copy of the letter, requested that they be provided this as well as the one written by Director Kasch. John Hinkleman Appointed to Bike Race Committee Mayor Meier advised that John Hinkleman has been or will be appointed to a Board from the County Commissioners on the Bike Race Committee. Since he is an avid bike rider and is familiar with the bikeways in the City, Mayor Meier asked him to serve on this com- mittee. Boulder Valley Comp Plan Mayor Meier inquired if a response had been sent to the letter regarding the Boulder Valley Comp Plan. Director Rupp advised that he had been meeting with the other City Planning Directors in Boulder County as to the content of the letter. Referred to a statement in the letter stating that the Councy would like to meet with the cities individually on the up-date of the plan. This was discussed as a group among the other directors that it might be beneficial since the cities have certain common things that they are all concerned about as cities need to talk about without the County. The point of this is that the cities would like to pro- pose to the County that rather than meeting with the cities individually that they meet with the cities collectively, on issues that we feel are common to all the cities and we we feel the county should be responding to us. Stated we support that principle amoung us at the staff level, as well as Administrator Wurl; also wished to discuss this with Mayor and councilmembers if this is an acceptable idea that we should pursue. Mayor Meier requested that he and council- members be provided memos presenting his ideas.
