Alderman Bolger reported on the Public Works' Committee discussion
of the Whispering Oaks drainage ditch problem and the engineer's estimate
of cost of $19,200 for correcting the problem. In talking with staff,
Bolger said he thought they could get a lower price by possibly having
City workers provide some of the labor and eliminating some material.
The staff did manage to secure a lower price quote of $17,250 which
eliminated the manholes but included another 60 feet of drainage pipe.
Bolger said a revised proposal would be presented at the next Council
meeting .
Bolger said he had received two requests for stop signs at the
intersection of Fairway Drive and Valley Road due to increased traffic on
Fairway. One child was almost hit by a car.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Locke, to authorize the drafting of an
ordinance for the installation of stop signs on Fairway Drive, east and .�
