How often are samples taken of this mile? How far are we turning the corner past the intersection of

th
We would like to get the water to go south on piedmont road to a box on the right.
Engineer Jason Brinley addressed the council
We get six samples every mile. Putting in a drain on 220th to 206th west would help with less water
retention. We would lower the ditch going south a crossed 36 and grade roads. The drain will go under 220th. I
want to avoid pipe under the roads as much as possible. Getting this project started will cause detours. We will

neighbors within certain proximity have to be alerted/notified. BOA can permit lagoons as long as they meet

m) Discussion, consideration and possible action on future road projects and funding.
Mayor Kurt Mayabb addressed the Council
Many of the community will not be happy if we don’t stick to section line homes. We want to get us going
and get as many alterations done as soon as possible. Everyday we are trying to get investors and help with
financing these roads. Our two year plan (2019-2020) is to do mustang. We would like to send out a flier to the
community with the roads and dates we would like to get finished. Remove Rolling Prairie and move the other
roads up by one year. We have the $10 road matiness fee I want to increase it by $28.
Andy Jones addressed the Council
The road bond has fizzled out. Having the fee on the bill will help. At what point does the new homes get
added to the bill and start paying the fee? When will this fee on the bill apply? There is already a $10 street and
ally fund. Will the new fee add to this? We as the community paying this fee want to know that it is being used
to current these roads.
Councilman John Brown addressed the Council
New homes will be charged the fee as soon as the get a meter set for water. We would have $10 and $30
in separate funds. This is a two-year plan for this fee, once two years pass, we will come to come back and vote
on it again. We can replace Rolling Prairie with Edmond road to be fixed first.
Michael Huel addressed the Council
When is the increase in road maintenance going to end? Are we continuously trying to get need businesses’
in town? Revenue streams are what would really help finance new roads.
Councilman Melissa Ashford addressed the council
Community Development Director and I continue to try and bring in new businesses’ to our town. Not
many are interested or entertain the idea opening up here do to small amount of revenue. Road list needs to stay
section like roads. Rolling Prairie needs to be eliminated from this list.
Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel addressed the Council
Doing Edmond road will not widen it, it will only fix what is there. Increasing the road maintenance fee
by $28 will be able to be out in one account. We will be short $300,000 due to the current $10 fee that is already
being used.
Councilman John Brown made a motion to approve roads on the hand out in the five-year plan and move all roads
up by on year. Motion was seconded by Councilman Melissa Ashford.

AYE: Councilman Albert Gliechmann, Councilman John Brown,

n) Discussion, consideration and possible action to accept road dedication for Biggs Estate
Lorraine Drive.
Mayor Pro Tem Kevan Blasdel addressed the Council
Barges have been put in Piedmont road due to flooding. However they fill with mud, which than caused
surrounding properties flood as well.
City Engineer Mary Elizabeth Mach addressed the Council
Track of land developing, drainage supervision, contoured and mapped out. Water does flow into the
property. An existing covert is where the water is flowing to across the property. When the house was built they
claimed to not have had this issue. The road that is there was built without the plans of this house being place
here. We recommend doing a covert that will impact this driveway or we recommend grading it so it will direct
it off the property.
Mayor Kurt Mayabb addressed the Council
The map with tierce shows the water way flows into the lake. We cannot accept a road with these issues
without ending up with a lawsuit. This road will go under water and we will be responsible to fix it. There is mud
in a covert and water build up. Is there a way to redirect the water?
JT Hargus addressed the Council
When we designed this we don’t drive up and down the tierces. They were removed because when we
build we can take them out if needed. The neighbor has built a dam but it is not protecting his property like he
had thought, it will damage it later on. I am unable to do anything to his property so I cant stop the bam. I can go
flush it out.
Councilman John Brown Addressed the Council
This house was built up higher on this property where as the driveway was not. The road will not go under
water. This is a civil mater that needs to be dealt with not by the council. The road can continue to stay a privet
road.
City Manager Jason Orr addressed the Council
This is not a city problem I am not spending taxpayers money on this.
