DATE: JANUARY 22, 2018
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: PPW JOB NO. 18-816-0415 JONES ROAD STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT
A. ESTABLISH THE JONES ROAD STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
B. AUTHORIZE AN EXPENDITURE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT IN THE AMOUNT
OF $21,000 FROM THE AVAILABLE STORM BASIN FUND BALANCE TO
THE JONES ROAD STORM DRAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council:
1. Establish the Jones Road Storm Drain Improvement Project
2. Authorize an expenditure budget adjustment in the amount of $21,000 from the available
Storm Basin Fund balance to the Jones Road Storm Drain Improvement Project
BACKGROUND:
The existing storm drain improvements along Jones Road were part of a 1948 subdivision. This
portion of the storm drain system accepts Town roadway runoff from Jones Road and empties
the water into the Town’s storm system. Currently water from the Jones Road trailhead flows
down the street and overwhelms the system, creating ponding and carrying debris to
downstream residential streets.
DISCUSSION:
Resolution to this issue can be achieved through the installation of new storm piping and a
drain inlet on Jones Road. The new infrastructure will capture the stormwater upstream and
channel it into the storm system, relieving the ponding issues that now occur.
