The work involves building a catch basin, installing approximately 45 feet of pipe, filling the boulevard and restoring the surface. The cost range is about $800.00 to $1000.00. As the Council may recall, Mr. Otto previously requested the City to address a drainage problem. Last summer the work was done and apparently does function, according to Mr. Otto. The filling and piping now requested would negate any positive effect created by last year's work. It should also be noted that similar requests from property owners are not un- common. If the Council wishes to address these types of problems on a regular basis, appropriate accounts should be established and funded through the budget process. - 1 - 5/12 b. No action taken. I.
