Bahorski City Manager Subject: Ad Hoc Street and Storm Drain Report SUMMARY OF REQUEST: - At the request of City Council, staff has placed this item on the agenda for discussion and to provide staff direction on how to proceed on this project. BACKGROUND: The Ad Hoc Street and Storm Drain Committee was formed following the flooding in October 2004. This committee worked very hard to prepare a report for City Council consideration. On July 25, 2005, the Ad Hoc Street and Storm Drain Committee and City Council held a joint workshop so that the Council could receive the Committee's report and receive input from the Committee members. The City Council requested staff to place the Ad Hoc Street and Storm Drain Committee report on a future Council agenda so that the Council could discuss the recommendations in the report in greater detail and provide staff with direction. The Committee's recommendations are summarized on pages 8 through 11 of the Ad Hoc Street and Storm Drain. Committee report. Overall the recommendations include what projects should be undertaken and various financing options necessary to complete the implementation of the recommended projects. At this point, City Council has received the report and can begin discussions on how best to implement the Committee's recommendations. Staff is requesting that City Council bring their copy of the Committee report so that the recommendations can be discussed as presented by the Committee. The Council has a broad range of options on how to proceed after receiving the Committee's report; the following is a short list of the alternatives: 1. City Council may, after taking further community input and discussion between City Council members, determine that additional information is needed from staff and/or that additional workshops may be necessary to provide City Council with clarifying information. Agenda Item 2. The Council could request additional community outreach be done before making a final decision which would heighten the awareness in the community of the report, its recommendations and financing scenarios. The Council would need to provide staff with direction on the format of the additional outreach. ,3. Based on the recommendations contained in the Committee's report City Council could determine that sufficient information has been provided and direct staff to implement some or all of the Committee's recommendations for projects and select the appropriate financing scenario. i 4. City Council also has the option to not proceed further with the Committee's recommendations. There are probably other options that could be considered once City Council receives additional public comment on the report. With an election scheduled in March 2006, a decision to place a ballot measure before the voters must be made by the end of October 2005. During the workshop a question was raised on when the Committee term would expire. Staff has researched that question and has determined that Resolution 5331 extended the Committee's term to September 1, 2005. • FISCAL IMPACT: �,��. "�'" No fiscal impact at this time. y X11 RECOMMENDATION: 1. Receive public input. 2. Discuss and provide staff direction.
