<br />""! ~~( <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />NOVEMBER 25, 1980 <br /> <br />Council continued for study and/or took under advisement a proposed policy, developed by the <br /> <br />City Administration, defining the responsibilities of both the City and private property <br /> <br />owners in the installation, operation and maintenance of storm drainage facilities within <br /> <br />the City. Said proposed policy, in the expressed viewpoint of Mr. John C. Helms, of 905 <br /> <br />Hazelwood Lane, denies a responsibility, which he claimed belonged to the City, for a <br /> <br />serious erosion condition which has developed on his property, alleging that the City--when <br /> <br />it accepted his street into the City's street system--inherited the responsibility of <br /> <br />providing drainage facilities to prevent such erosion problems as now exist on his private <br /> <br />property. On the other hand, as City Manager Edmonds pointed out, to expand the proposed <br /> <br />policy, to the extent proposed by Mr. Helms, would expose the City to unlimited responsibility <br /> <br />and/or liability. <br /> <br />Council acknowledged receipt of the following staff reports presented by City Manager Edmonds: <br /> <br />(I) the status of various improvement projects originally recommended <br />in the Park Study Report, with an up-date on the status to be <br />reported at a future meeting; <br />(2) a financial report for the City's four-month fiscal period ended <br />October 31, 1980, indicating that future such reports will be <br />accompanied by an analysis statement; and <br />(3) a preliminary indication of the effect of Appalachian Power <br />Company's proposed wholesale tariff revision, petitioned to <br />become effective February I, 1981, upon the City's 1980-81 budget <br />and thereafter. <br /> <br />There being no other business to be brought to Council's attention, Council was adjourned. <br /> <br />.
