Moved by Higgason, seconded by Brookman, to recommend to
the City Council approval of the September 4, 2007 -
Warrant Register, in the total amount of $2,743,707.94,
and further recommend that Resolution R-125-07 be

ENGINEERING -Alderman Walsten, Chair
Director of Engineering Oakley gave a status update
PowerPoint presentation on the Stormwater Master Plan
which was prepared in response to street, below-grade
garage, first-floor and backyard flooding following the
October 13, 2001 rainfall when 3.8' of rain fell within
a four (4)-hour period; to date, $7 million of the $16
million plan is completed.
Director Oakley stated that Staff is recommending that
completion of the Stormwater Master Plan be accelerated
to a five ( 5) -year period; funding would come from
increasing the Storm Sewer User Fee by $0.23 per 100
cubic foot to complete the remaining projects by 2012.
Alderman Walsten stated that he is normally opposed to
increasing taxes but he thinks we should consider
increasing the Storm Sewer User Fee to pay for these
improvements.
Alderman Smith stated that he is not in favor of
accelerating the program to five ( 5) years and
increasing the user fee; we shouldn't be spending $16
million on street flooding.
Alderman Brookman stated that this is bad policy to
impose a tax increase on the residents based on one (1)
single storm event; she will be voting no; we should
take another look at the priority list.
A resident at 205 Leahy Circle South addressed the
Committee of the Whole stating that she floods
constantly; she has sewage coming up in her toilets; you
can't ask us to wait 10 years for relief; her street
gets so flooded she can hardly get in her driveway.
Moved by by Moylan, seconded by Argus, to concur with
Staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council
that the Stormwater Master Plan be accelerated to a five
(5)-year period for completion, and the Storm Sewer User
Fee be increased by $.23 per 100 cubic foot to complete
the remaining projects by 2012; and City Attorney be
authorized to draft necessary ordinance. MOTION
DECLARED FAILED (Aldermen Beauvais, Moylan, Walsten and
Argus voted yes; Aldermen Murphy, Higgason, Brookman and
Smith voted no - a tie vote is a failed vote).
Mrs. Kelli Keenley, 206 Leahy Circle South, addressed
the Committee of the Whole stating she made her first
call to the City regarding flooding six (6) years ago;
some things were done but it is still bad; she can't
afford to take off work every time it rains to make sure
her home doesn't flood; the water is very deep in the
street; children could drown.

Moved by Higgason, seconded by Walsten, to place on
First Reading Ordinance Z-23-07 (this matter was
approved by the City Council on August 20, 2007).
Alderman Brookman stated that there is a flaw in the
wording of the ordinance regarding the distance of the
billboard to the residents; it should clearly indicate
that no part of the billboard will be within 300' of the
residential property.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Beauvais, to adopt a
