Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
Attached are correspondences concerning the realignment for the floodway
change for the portion of College Creek east of Wallace Road. These were
in Council 's materials when the Floodplain Insurance Study and Floodplain
Management Ordinance were transmitted in November, 1979.
At the Floodplain hearing on January 8, 1980, it appeared that Council was
not prepared to include the requested authorization by Dr. Dougal within
the overall scope of approvals.
It is, therefore, being requested and recommended that Council authorize
the Rock Island District Corps of Engineers to do hydraulic analysis of
the proposed change to determine its appropriateness.
Any subsequent change in the mapping portion of the Floodplain Management
Ordinance does not affect the third reading and adoption of the Ordinance
on Tuesday night, January 22 , 1980.
Resp tfully,
onald R. Wooldridge, AICP
