March 7, 1984 Park Board Minutes Page 3 Proper said something could probably be done. Gunderman asked Anderson if the ponding at Freedom would make the park unusable. Anderson said that to make the park usable for the water storage and park uses, changes would~be very expensive. Probably close to the cost of putting in bigger pipes. Proper said two options would be: bigger pipes, or regrade the park. But there are a whole range of other choices to incorporate. Gunderman asked how we determine what needs to be done. Proper said to determine. what needs to be .done at Freedom would entail an extensive study.. For the purpose of the Stormwater Management Plan., he suggested the Park Board go on record as having. concerns about certain aspects but to recommend approval. Anderson recommends the Park Board approve the plan but indicate that water storage at Sunny Square, Veterans and Freedom be further explored when it is time to do the plans and alterna- tives can be looked at .then, The closer it gets to the plan. stages, the easier it will be to make decisions. The plan is a good one. It should not be thrown out because of the three concerns. Gunderman asked about. the funding.. Proper stated each location is different. Sunny Square would be done with storm sewer money, Veterans done with downtown develop ment money. Don't know about funding for Freedom. Janecek asked what happened to Freedom in '78 when we had the 100 year flood. Gunderman didn't recall that it was bad. Proper said he didn't think all. the area storm sewers were in place at that time. Janecek asked what the timeline was on the plan. Proper said there is none but we have to have a 5 year .plan according to State law. Gunderman asked if the gravel pit (Innsbruck area) could be made deeper and pond the-water from the Freedom Park area. Anderson asked if it were close enough, Proper said it's about 100 yards from the closest-storm .sewer. Anderson said that it is a good option.
