5. City Manager Report
a. The tropics are heating up, and the entire City is assisting in the effort to be prepared no matter the storm that may arise. The Public Works Department has worked through the weekends to ensure our stormwater drainage system is working properly during these intense rainstorms that pop up without notice.
b. The Public Works Department replaced a drainage pipe along Alice Place to improve the drainage of this area. The old pipe consisted of rusty corrugated metal installed decades ago that just cannot stand up to the saltwater environment of our coastal town.
c. The City’s contractor has finished thoroughly cleaning the Stevens Canal. The Public Works Department noticed that remnants of the cleaning process left behind pockets of debris that were cut down and accumulated in small piles in the canal. Those small piles have now been removed, and the entire canal is clear and ready to convey stormwater more effectively.
d. Volusia County has approved the final funding necessary to vastly expand the stormwater pond located on Aspen Drive. The project calls for the pond expansion, the installation of a second stormwater pumping station and the replacement of the pipe connection with Silver Pond. These improvements will greatly enhance the stormwater capabilities in the Big Tree Village subdivision. Design and permitting is underway with construction to follow shortly thereafter.
e. The expansion of the Windle Lane Stormwater Pond has begun. I ask that our driving public use caution as large dump trucks full of dirt will be exiting our City utilizing Reed Canal Road. Please keep an eye out for them.
f. On the agenda tonight is the replacement of Lift Station #5 located on Violet Street. This station was built in the 1990’s and is beyond its useful life and now we have the opportunity with a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation to replace it. The new station will have more pumping capability to reduce the potential for backups during severe weather events.
6. City Attorney Report
