You can see John wanted <br /> to add a note below about the recent decision to make storm funding available. I have some reservations <br /> about adding that statement since we need to look at use of storm funds on a case by case basis and am <br /> not sure we want to publicize it that much. You call on that. <br /> Carrie can cut and paste from the below into any format you would like. Please let me know if you need <br /> anything additional. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> From: ETTER John F <br /> To: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> Subject: RE: Friendly Park Drainage Problems <br /> Date: Wednesday, June 12, 1996 12:34PM <br /> The only thing I think is needed is some linkage between what we were saying in the past - -we don't have <br /> enough funds - -to the present position of having funds. Maybe a sentence like: It has recently been <br /> determined that this improvement qualifies for stormwater funding, which enables the project to move <br /> ahead at this time." - -John <br /> From: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> To: ETTER John F <br /> Subject: Friendly Park Drainage Problems <br /> Date: Wednesday, June 12, 1996 7:49AM <br /> Hi John, <br /> Would you please look over the below and comment prior to me sending it on to Bob. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> *********.** . ** ** * * * * * * * *** * * * * * * * * * * * *** ** <br /> Hi Bob, <br /> Public Works Maintenance has been aware of drainage issues at <br /> Friendly Park for several years and has taken a number of <br /> incremental steps to determine its cause and effect a <br /> solution. Last year assistance was sought from the <br /> Engineering Division in evaluating the drainage issues on this <br /> site. This evaluation suggested that while some of the <br /> problem likely could be attributed to uphill overflow from the <br /> street intersection at 27th Avenue and Madison Street, it was <br /> suspected that much of the problem within the park was caused <br /> by natural seepage and topography. <br /> Last summer a capital stormwater rehabilitation project was <br /> completed which we felt addressed the street drainage <br /> overflow at the intersection of 27th and Madison. This <br /> project consisted of removal of 3 old gutter inlet catch <br /> basins and replacement with combination curb inlet and gutter <br /> Page 1 <br />
