At this time, staff is not recommending allocating resources to assist with constructing dams or assisting <br />with filling bags for residents. <br />With the potential of spring flooding, staff anticipates residents will be seeking sandbags and sand. It is <br />important, however, that residents take proactive and preventative measures prior to any flooding, <br />including securing sand-bags and constructing any protective barriers. In some situations, it may be best <br />for residents to consult with a contractor to build more suitable barrier if flooding is a concern. Those <br />decisions will be left to individual homeowners. <br />Staff will maintain an inventory of sandbags for city designated areas, if needed. <br />I will be present at the meeting to answer any questions from Council or the public. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />Potential financial implications have been provided above. The cost to replace 20,000 sandbags is <br />approximately $5,800. Additional points of discussion include personnel availability/costs as well as usage <br />of city vehicles for pickup/distribution of sand. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ 100 Year Flood Map Predictions <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\03-07-2011\2011-03-07%20Spring%20Flooding%20Update[1].docx <br />
