CONSTRUCTiON OF 79TH AVBNUE�NORTHEAST - BAST RIVER ROAD TO A3HTON (LINCOLN):
The City Manager explained that construction of a 9torm Sewer Line is neceesacy
to provide drainage needed for the conatruction oP the pavement on 79th Avenue
f_rom Eeat River Road to Aahton Street. The City Engineer perEerred to complete
construct3on oE a Storm Sewer Line in Area A at this time, also. A etorm
Sewer Line�in area B is necessary if the rest of the Storm Sec.er Line ie
conatructed or not. Conetruction of the Storm Sewer Line in area B would make
it posaible por'the City to receive State Aid Funda for the construction and reduce
the specfal aeseesments to the property�ownera accordingly. Mayor Nee asked
whether it w8a 'poaeible to drain the water from the area into the ditch on the east
side of &ast Rivei Road. The City Engineer replied that khe Engineerin� sY.aff
had checked thie possibility firat and found that it wae not feasible to drain the
water to the ditch on ttie East aide of Tiaet River Road since the ditch Ls of
insuffieient depth, that it would be necee9ary to deepen the ditch, that this pro�ect
would only work temporarily, and would coet the City money. liie Mayor asked why
the Storm Sewer Line as shown on the map was not deeigned to run more directly to
the Creek. The City Engineer replied that the Storm Sewer Line foZlowed the ditch,
only because this had been deaigned under a preliminary study, and could probably
be changed bePore final design. Councilman Sheridan asked if it were poasLble to
replace the Storm Sewer Line in area B,with an open ditch. The City N1�gineer replied
that there is en open ditch now in existence. The City Manager stated that part
of the open ditch in erea A has been Eilled in by the property owners. Councilman
Sheridan asked�iP use of an open ditch would require installation of a culvert under
the street.- The City Sngineer answered, "Yes." The City Attorney asked if the
ditch had been used for drainage over a long period oE time in the past, and stated
that if this had been done, the City might have the right to improve the ditch.
Mayor Nee asked�if use of ttie ditch would not couse flooding in the surrounding area.
The City Sngineet atated that the property owners apparently caere satisfied with
the use of the ditch to this time. The City Attorney instructed the City Engineer
to find people who have lived in the area for many years in the past, to question
them concerning how long the ditch had been in existence, and to find khe names and
addres�es of'these people so that bhe City Attorney could oUtain statements from
these people with regard to the use of the ditch in the past.
Motion by Sheridan to table consideration of the construction of Storm Searers
at 79th Avenue Northeast - East River Road to Ashton (Lincoln) to the Regular
Council Meeting of March 1, 1965. Seconded by Kirkham. Upon a voice vote, there

RESOLUTION N0. 30-1965 - APPROVING THE FINAL P
Councilman Sheridan asked whethen it would be possible for the Council to
delete portions oE the Project after the Project had once been approved. The
CiCV 1�lanager replied that the effect o£ deletions oE portions of the Pro�ect
depend upon how large a portion of the total Project the deletions a�e, Councilman
Sheridan stated that the City did not own part of Fillmore Street which wes
ittcluded in the Project and did not have all of the right-oE-way on Fillmore Street,
He stated further that the price of land which the present owners have paid for
the land would make it expensive for the City to obtain the right-of-way by
co�xtemnation, although, the City could posaibly clear with the property owners
the right to conetruct the street within 30 days. The CiCy Engineer asked if
it would be poasible to clear ttw right-of-way matter by March 15, Councilman
Sheridan anawered that he thougt thia would be possible. The City Manager
suggeated that the contract specifications could state that the Pro�ect on
Fillmora streat might be deleted or delayed, that in hie opinion this was a
small part of the total Pro�ect and would not affeck the cost to the Cjty
materially.
Mayor Nee stated that the Cnuncil could do the same for con.struction of pavement
along Ashton Street. The City Manager stated that paving AshY,on Street might
require Che poating of Ironton Street for load 1Lmits to keep the trucks off
Ironton and Aahton Streets during part of the year and that deletion of so large
a portion of the contract might result in the imposition of adverae expenses upon
the City.
Motion by Thompaon to adopt Reaolution No, 30-1965 as corrected. Seronded by
Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.

reports or data which would ehow that the land was capable of vupporYing
conatruction oP these buildings. Mr. Comstock anewered that test holes had been
made in the land to a depth of 7 feet. The City Engineer stated that additLOnal
test holes would be required for the conatruction of the building at the locations
of the footinga of the buildings, and that it would be necessary to have a plot
plan to know the location of the footings of the buildings before any worthwhile
data couId be gathered on the feasibility of construction of the buildings. The
Mayor stated that it would be useful to have a letter from the Cpnsulting Engineer
