Ald. Schneider stated the drainage problem has been ongoing for years. City Engineer Simpson
discussed a design quote from Ruekert & Mielke for the survey and design of a modified urban
section (curb & gutter) roadway. R&M’s proposed reconstruction project would extend from
Hillview Dive to approximately 380 feet south of Hillview Drive. The area currently has
minimal ditches and has extremely steep slopes adjacent to the west of the road. The east side
of the road consists mainly of paved parking areas, garages and driveways. The second option
would be to replace culverts with larger culverts. Ald. Schneider motioned to proceed with
R&M to get proposals and not to exceed $14,000.00 for this project at this time. Seconded by
Ald. Schaumberg. Motion carried 2-0.
