Page Seven May 18, 1981 expressed concerns of the School District regarding the costs that would be assessed to them for the project. General discussion was carried on regarding the sewer project, specifically benefits, purpose, and the .most economical design at this time. Mr. Lloyd Cyr, a member of the School Board, indicated that the ponding areas would not hold any more water and that at the present time, flooding in the basement of the Senior High School is possible and further indicated that he felt the design of the storm sewer should drain away from the ponding areas. Mr. Jerry Rolin questioned the design of the storm sewer as another temporary measure and the citizens would have to be assessed again when it was updated again. Mr. Mauer indicated that the design proposed would provide for the immediate needs of the School Street area and would provide for future expansion. General discussion was carried on as to future expansion, the size of the pipe, and the need of ponding areas. Mr. Mauer indicated that the proposed design is a portion of the permanent solution. Mr. Kreuser also recommended that the City Council consider the storm sewer more thoroughly and suggested the storm sewer be designed to drain from Holt down School Street rather than around to the ponding areas be- hind the school. Mr. Tim Thompson, Estelle Gunkel, Julie Hipp, Richard Lestol, Mr. Kevin Dehri, Mr. and Mrs. Elliott, and Mr. Al Baker all expressed their concerns regarding the upgrading of School Street and the design of the storm sewer system.
