CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
I would like to call the Commission's attention to the water level in the
Saltair Subdivision. The recent fairly regular rainfalls have caused the
water table in this area to rise to the extent that some damage can occur
to the paved portions of the roadways. I have discussed this matter with
Mr. Parks and Mr. Hilliard and we have collectively determined that some
"french draining" is a necessity. Mr. Parks is providing Public Works
with input and assistance in this matter.
On Wednesday, March 7, Mr. Murphy was reinstated pursuant to the findings
of PERC, with appropriate notice being posted.
Chapman Construction Company has advised the City that during the week of
March 12 through March 17 they will be repairing the depression that
exists on Sherry Drive in the vicinity of the school.
Re •ectfully submitte.
