Request by Ald. Borgman to discuss drainage problems in Parkland Subdivision – This item is
deferred until the City gets a cost estimate for cleaning and repairing ditches and culverts in the
outlots for a possible future special assessment. Ald. Fiedler suggested that City Engineer
Simpson and Superintendent Delikat meet with the residents on site.
