HomeMy WebLinkAbout1979-09-18; City Council; 5990; Storm Drain ProjectsThe approved Capital Improvement Program includes two major storm
drain projects. The project scheduled for completion during this fiscal year is the ATSF project which is estimated to cost $235,000 and is fully funded. The second project is the State Street storm drain which is estimated in excess of $400,000 and has only $166,000 appropriated. The
State Street project would have more impact on improving drainage prob-
lems, but the ATSF project has the advantage of being ready to go and
relatively simple. The State Street project is within the redevelopment
area and may be eligible for HUD funding. The Council, could, however,
choose to delay the ATSF project, transfer funds to the State Street
project and proceed with the latter.
