Recommendation Regarding the Submittal of a State Grant Application and the
Appropriation of Funds for a Municipal Flood Control Grant Project at W132
S6598 Saroyan Road
Mr. Simpson stated he has been working on finding solutions for flood prone areas in
the City. He has found a DNR grant that would provide 70% of the funding to potentially
flood proof a property located at Longfellow and Saroyan. There are three properties at
that intersection that have experienced flooding; however, only one (W132 S6598
Saroyan Road) qualifies for the grant. A Council resolution is required for the grant

approved. Ald. Fiedler moved to recommend approval of the grant application.
