District 2 Meeting
(Begliu cn Page lA)
$4,160,000 over a five-year period
as an “entitlement community.’’
He aald If the extended CD
funding le granted the dty, then
more Improvementa beyond
expanalon of water and zewer
fadlltlez, recreational facllltlea,
aging programz, home baaed
child care programz can be
planned.
’The question of aldewalkz
brought out a question of surface
drainage problenu and to this
the mayor aald, “’The city has
applied and been approved for
$380,000 to use In surface
drainage problems. ’The hangup
Is we haven’t received the funds
approved by the Federal
government.’’
He said funding Includes
maiq>ower and equipment to
handle surface drainage
problems, where lawful, within
the city.
Commissioner Houston called
It a "beautiful program, but a
long-range program. The
solutions Just don’t come
overnight’’
Dqytt Falls, 303 DUllng St., had
a more direct and personal
question to ask relating to
drainage. He said his father
resides near the Deal St Park
where grading la being done for
expansion of the recreational
complex. Falla wanted to know
what the city planned to do to
take care of drainage through his
father’s property caused by the
grading operation.
City Engineer A1 Moretz aald,
“Catch basins are being In
stalled to handle the surface
runoff and grading will be done
to channel the drainage Into the
catch basins.’’ Moretz also
agreed to meet Falls on the site
to make sure the two of them
were talking about the same
situation.
Rev. James Williams, pastor
of Eaatslde Baptist, aald the
sewer line along York Rd. to
devemont Mills has caused
flooding at the church basement
several times and asked If the
city had any plar.a to repair the
lines, “maybe lowering the lines
so this won’t happen again.”
Moretz explained that when
the York Rd. lines were Installed
that proper equipment to lay the
lines deep beneath the surface
was not available. He said the
line Is “quite deep’’ In some
cmeas, “but the problem Ilea In
the type of material used tor the
lines and Improper gravity fall.”
Mayor Moss aald the lines
were Installed as a WPA
program In the IBSOa.
“We do have a two-fold
program underway on York Rd.
at this time,” the mayor con
tinued. “New sewer lines are
going to be Installed and the
depth of structures along the
route Is being checked to make
sure the lines are placed deep
enough to prevent something
such as has happened at your
church.”
The mayor also said that
Clevemeont Mills has sought and
received permission to construct
a large catch basin to handle Its
Industrial dyes, whldi will be
Introduced Into the city sewage
treatment syetem on a regulated
seven-day-a-week basts.
“We are looking at about 16
days before receiving bids on the
new line construction,” the
mayor said, “so we are talking
about a aolutlcm to the problem In
the Immediate future.”
Also attending Tuesday’s
meeting were Commissioners
Noimsn King, Fred Wright, Jr.,
Jim Childers and conunlasloner
csmdldate In next ’Tuesday’s
election Jerry MulUnax.
