Mr. Davis advised receipt of a letter from Mr. Walter J. Parks,
City Engineer concerning the recent inflow & infiltration,gravity
sanitary sewer lines. He reported that from May 6 thru May 10, the
total rainfall was 5.70" and the average sewage flow was 1.1859 M.G.J.
During those five days the sewage flow increased 37%, and the water

continue their efforts to remove from the sanitary sewer lines as
much of the rainfall runoff as possible in order to hold the sewage
flow to 1.0 M.G.D. or less. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. Parks had
also submitted application for permits to install additional culvert;
in our lagoon system at Plaza, 11th, and Seminole Rd. The application

a master plan. The City Manager thanked Mr. McCrary for the report
and stated he would be most happy to work with them on a master plan
for the entire area.

Dear Mr. Davis:
The enclosed report prepared by landscape architect Hilton Meadows, ASLA, outlines eight
principles of design which, in his professional opinion, are violated by the recently constructed
monument in City Hall Park. These include general composition, unity, balance, compatibility,
time value, safety, maintenance, and color.
Mr. Meadows has generously offered to volunteer his services in the preparation of a master plan
for this area. In view of his extensive experience in the design of parks and recreational areas,
I hope that the City will accept this offer. I would be happy to volunteer my own services in the
preparation of drawings and coordination with you and other interested City representatives, as
suggested in the report.
Very truly yours,
Thomas A. McCrary, AIA
