Additionally, it was noted that the three Jorge scale projects that have been worked on the post two years are still being worked on in 1995. These projects ore the WWTP Expansion and East Highway 10 Utility Project, the long range Transportation Plan, and the Surface Water Management Program. City Engineer Terry Maurer provided the Council with an overview of the status of the Surface Water Management (SWM) Program. Most of the comments were specifically related to the western area of the City which is currently experiencing development pressures. In the last six months, the City Council has authorized additional work and study o` the SWM issues in this vicinity. Additionally, the City Engineer provided an overview of the SWM Plan on a city-wide basis, and noted that the efforts being undertaken in the western area of the City in 1995 will also have to be undertaken in the eastern area of the City when utilities are extended in that vicinity. The finance Director distributed a SWM estimates page. This page showed projects that have already been undertaken and the cost for these projects. It was noted that the City is approximately $1 million in debt due to storm drainage projects in 1993 and 1994. Additionally, the Council has authorized another $400,000 in debt for the County Road 12/13 project. In 1994, the City issued $1 million in debt for storm drainage projects and levied $210,000 in tax monies that will be received in 1995 to help finance projects.. Additional debt will have to be issued in 1995 if the City is to undertake the Main/Evons project. The Council expressed its desire to have the Main/Evons project completed in 1995. It was noted that County approval to release water into the County Ditch System would be necessary prior to this project taking place. The City Administrator noted that the tax levy will have to continue on an annual basis to finance debt payments on the previously constructed projects and for the 1995 projects. Additionally, unless this debt amount increases in the future, no new additional projects will be able to be financed for the next few years by the SWM fox levy. The one exception to This situation will be if the Cify decided not to repay its capitol projects fund. In this manner, an additional $200,000 project could be undertaken without an increase in the SWM tax levy. r ~
