MINUTES OF MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 5, 1976 '
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schaumberg. Also. present
were committee members Dumke and Ford, Mayor Gottfried, Supt. Bertram
and Aldermen Foldy and Knudsen.
A very friendly and cooperative group of citizens (names attached) from
the Glenbrook Subdivision attended the meeting fo acquaint themselves with
the city's proposal to solve several drainage problems in the subdivision.
Mayor-Gottfried reviewed for those attending the past flooding problems of
the subdivision, the problems that could result once development occurred
to the northwest and south and how the city would hope to minimize or
resolve the problems. Several questions were raised by persons attending
relating to the depth of the proposed drainage ditches, ponds and ditches
along the roadways. It was suggested that the committee look into the
possibility of bring the storm water from the lands west of the subdivision
into a drainage ditch proposed on the south side of the subdivision. The
hope was expressed that the work could begin on solving the problem this
year.
The committee also discussed with the audience the condition of the curve
on Woodland Place, north of Highway 24. After considerable amount of
discussion and several suggestions it was generally agreed by those attend-
ing that if the road could be placed back on its original course as indicat-
ed on the plat, a slight curve used and the slope reduced it could solve
the problem.
The committee indicated that they would probably resonstruct the curve
this summer.
Ald. Foldy presented the committee with signed easements which would be
needed to continue the reconstruction of the drainage ditch from Windsor
Rd. to Highway 24. The committee agreed to begin discussion of their
plans for storm water drainage programs at their next meeting.

to cross private property in order to continue the cleaning of the Muskego
Creek south of Highway 24. He indicated Mr. John Kelly was very concerned

Lake could get a refund of his $200.00 ditch bond since the restoration '1;
had been completed. Mr. Bertram recoxnnended that the refund not be made
