but rather on those locations most in need of the improvements as affected by standing water,
flooding, and insufficient pipe capacity; and,

occasionally occurs,and this program provides for installation of drainage improvements to decrease
this flooding at low points; and,

a culvert on Iowa State University(ISU) property south of Lake Laverne; and,
WHEREAS,before the Board of Regents can approve the easement, it must be approved by
the City Council; and,
WHEREAS, the easement will be granted at no cost to the City, but there will be some
financial arrangement for reimbursing ISU for tree removal and replacement and for grading and
seeding as part of this project/easement acquisition; and,
WHEREAS, with the easement in place, work can begin on the project this summer when
ISU is in summer session.
