MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Chris Andersen, Public Works Director <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt, Maintenance Director' a <br /> SUBJECT: AMAZON CREEK <br /> Attached is a public notice from the Army Corp of Engineers regarding the <br /> reconnaissance study for the Amazon Channel and also the annual inspection <br /> report. These are for you to share with Randy McDonald during your meeting <br /> with him. <br /> We did not complete the cleaning project south of 24th Avenue on the channel <br /> as we had previously discussed with Randy and the group of interested citi- <br /> zens. After we came to agreement with them about the extent of maintenance to <br /> be done we had to divert resources to the Kinsrow project. Before we got back <br /> to the channel rains set in making it undesirable for us to perform the work <br /> this year. You might let Randy know that as soon as the weather is better, <br /> probably late next spring we will plan on accomplishing the work as agreed on. <br /> You also might let him know that the woody vegetation that we thought the <br /> volunteer effort would remove did not actually get done. When staff inspected <br /> the channel it appeared that almost all of the woody vegetation remained. We <br /> would still like to accomplish this project with the use of volunteers if <br /> possible. If not, we will have staff remove the vegetation as part of the <br /> cleaning effort next spring. <br /> By the way, I did share both of these documents with engineering so we are <br /> indeed communicating with them. If you need some more questions answered <br /> about this project or these documents feel free to contact me. <br />
