Dave Romero, Public Works Director, briefly reviewed the staff report. He stated Council last discussed this on March 3, 1987, not June 30 as indicated in the report. Staff was recommending Council direct staff to proceed with the engineering study. Mayor Dunin asked for public comment. Harold Miossi, resident living near North 101 Highway, was opposed to the study. He felt that portions of the creek upstream could be damaged by a retention dam which, in his opinion, would not prevent flooding. He said this had been studied previously and did not feel the $10,000 would make a significant difference. He stated that Clint Milne of the County Engineering Department also supported his position. :_Councilwoman Dovey stated she was not prepared to support the recommendation unless new information had come forward since Council previously discussed this item. She would like to see the previous Council minutes and their reasons for not having supported it then. Dave Romero, Public Works Director, stated that the Nolte Report done several years ago and the Corps of Engineers studies did not go into any depth with.regard to throttling retention dams. Because of the strong feelings of the Land Conservancy he felt that this study had to be conducted prior to going forward with revisions to the City Flood Management Plan. Upon question, he stated he had not contacted Zone 9 for partial funding of the study. Councilman Settle stated he would like to see Zone 9 participate in funding. Councilwoman Rappa was concerned that this study not come forward until a comprehensive package for Flood Control and possible revisions to the Flood Control Plan were ready. She felt the study needed to go hand -in -hand with the plan and not be dealt with in a piece -meal fashion. 1 1 1 City Council Minutes Page 2 Thursday, October 8, 1987 - 7:00 p.m. Moved by Rappa /Dover (2 -3), to deny the engineering study and consider it when the Flood Management Plan is revised.
