EAGAN CITY COUNCIL
Eagan, Minnesota
COMPREHENSIVE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PRESENTATION
September 13, 1990
A special meeting of the Eagan City Council was held on Thursday, September 13, 1990
at 5:30 p.m. in the lunchroom of the Municipal Center building. Those present were Mayor Egan, City
Councilmembers McCrea, Pawlenty and Gustafson, who arrived at approximately 7:00 p.m. City
Councilmember Wachter was absent, but did participate by use of a telephone conference call in the
executive session to discuss the police arbitration matter. Also present was City Administrator Hedges.
City Administrator Hedges stated that the updated 1990 Comprehensive Storm Water
Management Plan was previously distributed to each City Councilmember for review. The purpose of
the meeting was to better understand the objectives, policies and design criteria that comprise the
City's storm sewer system. Present from the firm Bonestroo, Rosene Anderlik were Jerry Borden,
Mark Hanson and Ismael Martinez. Also present was Director of Public Works Colbert and Assistant
City Engineer Mike Foertsch. Ismael Martinez provided a detailed presentation emphasizing why storm
sewers are designed for serving severe storms in addition to a number of concepts that relate to the
present storm sewer system. City Councilmembers asked a number of questions relative to design and,
more specifically, why certain areas of the City experience greater storm water problems during these
peak rainfalls. Following the discussion, there were questions as to why most of the storm water design
problems have occurred in the subdivisions where infrastructures were constructed privately and asked
the Director of Public Works to prepare a list of issues that relate to the installation of utilities and
streets both publicly and privately.
After further discussion, it was determined that it would be in the City's best interest to
proceed with consideration of formal adoption of this Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan
at the September 18 City Council meeting so that its policies and criteria can be implemented as soon
as possible.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00 p.m.
