CITIZEN PRESENTATION Rady and Associates, Inc. --.-- Mr. Glen Arnold, P.E., of Rady and Associates, Inc. presented the following presentation to the City Council concerning EMERALD HILLS ADDITION, SECOND SECTION: "We have discussed the drainage plans for the second section of the Emerald Hills Addition with the consulting engineer for North Richland Hills, Mr. William R. Ratliff, P.E. The new drainage criteria that the City is now in the process of putting into effect would require that a storm drain pipe be installed in Emerald Hills Lane and Shannon Lane if streets 30 feet wide with 6 inch high curbs are constructed. The actual amount of storm water run-off in these two streets is small and Mr. Ratliff has suggested that a possible alternate solution may be considered.

He has stated that the decision to permit this solution to this problem would have to be made by the North Richland Hills City Council."
