- ITEM I

Re: Industrial Area Drainage Study

A’report from Associated Engineering Services Ltd. dealing with
the industrial area drainage will have been circulated separately to members
of Councii. “The attached report: to the Public Works: Committee from the City"
Engineer summarizes the significant points made in the report. ‘The Engineer
will be able to provide further information and answer any questions in
Council.

Although Council will no doubt want to study the report in more.
detail and will have questions regarding the implementation of the report,
there are two critical decisions which must be made as soon as possible.

The first is that Council adopt the drainage concept given in the report so
that the cests can be incorporated in a development cost charge and be made
recoverable from development in the area. The second ts that Council authorize
the Ministry of Highways to install an additional culvert across Broadway
Street in conjunction with the first stage Mary Hill By-Pass construction.

If this culvert is not installed as part of the present highway construction
contract, the costs to the City would be considerably greater in the future.
The report estimates the cost to be $16,000.00 and che provisional budget

for 1980 includes funds sufficient for the construction of this culvert.

The Committee recommends that Council adopt the drainage concept
as outlined in the report and that the Ministry of Highways be authorized to
install an additional culvert crossing Broadway Street and that the Engineer
be instructed to prepare a development cost charge by-law for drainage and to
prepare plans for the implementation of the drainage program.
