Mayor Echols presented the following proposed CIP Projects for 1984-85: On August 27, 1984 the CIP Committee met and discussed various options available concerning Morgan Meadows East, Chapman Drive and Hewitt Street. The CIP Committee recommends approval of the following projects: Morgan Meadows East - Construct channel in 37.5 Foot Easement, $654,000 - Construction of ditches along both sides of Hightower Road to direct runoff water into the east and west channels and to prevent the flooding across Hightower and Little Ranch Road, $49,830 - Construction of ditches along both sides on North Forty Road between Meadow Road and the east channel to direct the water into this channel and prevent flooding of this road and area, $75,020; Chapman Drive - Construct 41' street, Total Project Cost $1,300,000 - property owner participation $546,389 - Net ultimate cost to City $753,611; Hewitt Street and Drainage - Construct underground storm drains in Hewitt Street and 31 foot standard residential street - Total Project Cost $460,000 - Less utility adjustments $35,000, Total Hewitt Street $425,000. Total of all projects $2,503,850. The current fund balance in the Unappropriated Street and Drainage Account is $2,708,440.

Councilwoman Moody stated she would like to remind the Council that Mr. Riddle had advised that all the repairs that could be done to Chapman would not do any good until the drainage was fixed.
