<br /> 78-265 - "Consideration of an ordinance on first reading to appropriate $50,000 from
<br />the Capital Improvements Fund for hot spot drainage improvements on Kent Drive in Loxley
<br />Place and Victory Boulevard.
<br />
<br /> The CaP~t~l Improvements Work Program for 1978-79 includes $50,000 for hot spot drainage
<br />improvements. This ordinance will appropriate the full amount for the projects on Kent
<br />Drive and Victory Boulevard. It is estimated that the project on Kent Drive, which will
<br />require the installation of storm drains through its intersection with York Drive, will
<br />cost $12,000. $56,000 of the appropriation will be utilized for the ponding on Victory
<br />Boulevard caused by inadequate outfall pipes across Victory Boulevard. The Master Drainage
<br />Plan calls for two 72" diameter storm drainage pipes across the western half of Victory
<br />Boulevard. This !installation will alleviate a very bad ponding and flooding situation
<br />that occurs whenever we have heavy'runoff from storms. The City Manager recommends adoption
<br />on first reading."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Gray and seconded by Mr. Holley, the following ordinance was approved
<br />on first reading, and by unanimous vote:
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $50,000 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR
<br /> 'HOT SPOT' DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT ON KENT DRIVE IN LOXLEY PLACE AND VICTORY BOULEVARD."

<br />engineers to test wells and borings for the inspection of the 5 dams providing the watershed
