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 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.

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.

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.
