I I 1 Council Meeting Minutes May 12, 1992 Page 9 Council Business Williams asked if the City could speed up the Army's decision process. He asked if a pumping system could be installed on the church property to allow drainage to the south, away from the overloaded Oakwood system. He feels that when the 7th St. storm sewer is built, the church ponds should ultimately drain to this system. Proper noted that the church property is not the only property causing excessive drainage into the Oakwood System. He feels a pumping system would be a very unreliable way to handle the problem. LeFevere said the creation of a utility fund program is a very expensive and time consuming process. He suggests directing staff to report to Council regarding the plan's advantages and disadvantages.
