REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 25, 1991 (#2)NAVARRE HEIGHTS DRAINAGE CONTINUED could be included at such time the City undertakes a more comprehensive solution to the water drainage problems in the Navarre area. Butler stated that the motion provides for more or less of a straw poll, because if there are not enough residents interested in the project, it dies. Mayor Peterson stated that she favors the motion because the Cuffs have done a lot of work to initiate the project. She clarified that her vote this evening does not necessarily mean she will vote to order the project. Goetten stated that she would view this project as the initial stages of addressing the overall Navarre water problems. She stated that if the costs are too high, she would have to reconsider the options. Jabbour stated that he agrees this is a form of a straw poll, but that the Cuffs have been given an indefinite answer for too long. He added that the Cuffs are in the midst of construction and could incorporate corrective measures into that project if they knew that the storm drainage project would not occur. Jabbour stated that he would reverse his opinion, if over 50% of the neighborhood approved the project. Motion, Ayes -3, Jabbour, Callahan, Nay. Motion passed.
