June 9, 1975 Motion by Jensen that the Utility Commission direct Tom Donahue to present his rough sketches and estimates for the correcting of the storm water problem in the 56 acres created by the downtown area to the City Council and recommend to the City Council that these corrections be made as suggested by the engineer. Second by Jones. Ayes were three.
