John Mears, from Hunter Associates, gave a report on the problems concerning
Keaton Road. He indicated there were three drainage outfall pipes on Beaton which
have been modified 2 - 24 inch and 1-18 inch. Mr. Mears indicated that on March
4, 1993 they wrote the City and indicated that the culverts should remain open to
avoid diverting surface drainage run off to unnatural surface.
kt the time the street construction was to be on Keaton, City staff was advised

Mr. Mears again indicated they did not have any drainage easements, end that they
were just working with existing street and existing pipe conditions. They did not
have the ability to run the water to a natural outfall, all they could do was to
maintain what was there and balance it out. He stated they could do some isolated
improvements, however, it would not completely correct the problem,
Mr. Mears indicated when there is construction of streets they try to maintain what
is there.

Councilman Jenkins stated that Council and Staff could begin the process by trying
to secure the proper easements and use whatever funds are available to begin the
process of correcting the problem. It will not be a problem that can be rectified in
a week. It will be a process that will take time. Councilman Jenkins indicated
Keaton Road is not the only area that a drainage problem exists. It is an ongoing
problem throughout the city.
Mayor Coker advised that what Council needed to An is to get the engineer to go
ahead and pursue getting plans prepared to correct this problem and the costs
involved.
Discussion continued.
