8 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD MARCH 9, 1987
The meeting was called to order at 1O:OO A.M. by Chairman
DeAngelis. Also present were Committee Member Sanders, Mayor Salentine, Building Inspection Administrative Assistant Gene
Kovacs, Mr. Frank Preston and Mr. Roger Johnson. Ald. Hilt was
absent.
The Committee reviewed TIF projects. It was noted that tilere is
grading work to be done near McShane Treatment Plant. Some work
is needed on the Pellmann property where a drainage ditch was
installed to facilitate mowing of property.
Chairman DeAngelis alerted the Committee that on two occasions he
has spoke with Mr. Orville Kurth of the Soil Conservation Service
asking him to supply the City with whatever information he could
on urban drainage. It was noted that three ordinances on urban drainage are pending; one at State, one at County and one at City
level. There seems to be little coordination between the three groups as to cost, timetables, etc. The Clerk is directed to
secure information to establish a criteria for determining
project priority, cost sharing and any other information that
will benefit the Committee to establish an Urban Drainage Policy. The Public Works Committee will have to set guidelines
as to the priority of projects to be started in Spring. Property
between Durhamswood and Freedom Acres ranked high on the list.
An amount of $20,000 is presently available for these projects.
The Committee requests that the City Attorney determine what
rights the City has to recapture costs and enter private property to accomplish urban drainage projects.
Frank Preston and Roger Johnson appeared before the Committee to discuss the escrow account for the Marlan Meadows Subdivision.
Roger Johnson informed the Committee that the asphalt concerns
will be accomplished by the contractor with no additional draw on the escrow account. The Developer wishes to finalize the escrow
account and recognizes that an agreement was reached a year ago
where the City would provide the rough drainage grading. The
cost of installing a concrete invert; the rip rap, and upgrading the drainage outlet would be the cost of the Developer. The
Public Works Superintendent suggested that the $4,927.00 in the
escrow account would be the Developer's share of these costs and
if additional costs are incurred they would be the City's
responsibility. This was agreeable with the Developer with the
understanding that the City would provide an estimate to
substantiate that the cost will equal or exceed the escrow account. It was noted that the deed restrictions require the
Homeowners Association to maintain the retention pond areas and if this is not done, the City can assess the Homeowners
Association for the cost.
