Mr. Beck: This was brought to my attention by Jack Murphy that we have a park on Boykin Road that actually fronts Boykin Road and Public Works has just completed a new road project. Our park is creating drainage problems onto the newly paved road and this is a problem with the contractor as well because some of the drainage is actually going into the street. We do have Boykin Road on the SPLOST list for the year 2000. This is something that I think we I need to take care of now. What I'm asking you to do is to approve Toole Engineering to draw up a drainage plan to take care of this problem. Toole is the firm that did all of the drainage work and was the engineering firm on the Boykin Road project. MR. TODD: I suggest you go back to your one penny sales tax roads and if you have a problem with that project as far as taking care of storm water from a public facility that they correct it there with the one penny road money. After further discussion; MR. KUHLKE: I would like to make a motion that we refer this back to Engineering Services. MR. TODD: Second. MR. BRIGHAM: I think that rather than referring it to Engineering Services, I think a more appropriate motion would be to postpone this for two weeks and let us deal with it and bring the Public Works people in to talk to us, otherwise we will continue to have this problem.
