i ) 0 He advised the Sewer System Improvements were completed , with the exception of the Veterans Boulevard Interceptor line , and work having to do with the Pump Station and Outfall Line for affluent to deep water , all a part of the Strategic Consolidated Sewage Plan ( SCSP) and for which plans were hoped to be completed by June 34th . He stated it was noteworthy that the completed storm drain improvements , con- sisting of a major portion of the improvements under the three Districts , had significantly proved their worth during this extremely stormy season . He ad- vised that the improvements proposed for award of construction bid at this meeting covered the Southwest area storm drains ( SD-27 ) and of the two remain- ing storm drain projects to be completed , one of which will be accomplished when Woodside Road widening is commenced by the State , and the additional creek im- provement ; projects in specific areas which he detailed on the map and advised were ready for scheduling of improvements , or were awaiting a determination on extent of improvements to be made . He noted one other area in the Emerald Branch channel improvements where he was hesitant to proceed as it included a part of County area . He summarized by stating all the improvement work which had been proposed under these three improvement Districts to this point were ahead of , or on schedule , and through fortunate bids throughout on all of the construction work , a sur- plus of funds could be expected which could be used to make other improvements not included earlier because of shortage of funds , and will be a matter of City policy as to how the surplus funds will be used hereafter . Councilman Petersen felt policy for upsteam creek improvements in the Fernside area , etc . , had been fully settled by Council and through meetings with the property owners , as to manner in which these improvements were to be made in order to preserve the distinctive creek atmosphere they value . He felt Staff is in a position to proceed with these improvements without further guidance . City Manager advised this point had been recently discussed with Mr . Adamson and his Staff, and Council ' s policy , as established fairly early in the project , had been reviewed but it had been thought best that a series of Staff level in- formation clinics be held with these property owners before attempting to pro - ceed so that they would know exactly what is planned . He assured Council im- provements to be proposed would correspond as closely as possible to criteria set by them for improving these creek channels where no water problems exist , and where property owners had beautified these areas , but that there were a few instances where trees might have to be removed when growing in a creek . In reply to question whether creek areas in Downtown section around James Avenue were proposed for further improvements , such as covering to make useable land , Mr , Adamson advised it was hoped these improvements could be achieved later . rIB 17 .69
