MINUTES OF THE • <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,December 8,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (CITYADMINISTRTOR'S REPORT, Continued) <br /> Cornick stated to his understanding a number of people were complaining about the flooding behind <br /> Lund's along Kelly Avenue and that he is curious why that is not included. <br /> Loftus stated according to FEMA,there was no sustained damage. Loftus stated the culverts in that area <br /> were clogged but that the area experienced no sink holes or permanent damage. <br /> Edwards stated a drainage study was recently conducted in the Kelly Avenue area and the drainage <br /> system in that area is significantly undersized for the amount of water that it needs to handle. Edwards <br /> indicated he is still finalizing that study with Bolton&Menk before bringing proposals to the City <br /> Council. <br /> Cornick asked if that would be a candidate for this funding. <br /> Edwards stated it would be difficult to say that this infrastructure was damaged by the flooding and would <br /> likely not be approved. <br /> Loftus stated there was also an incident on Olive Avenue and East Long Lake Road that did not qualify as <br /> well. <br /> Farniok stated FEMA has strict criteria on what qualifies for reimbursement and just the fact that there is <br /> water over the roadway does not mean it meets the criteria. Farniok stated FEMA looked at the wave <br /> action that constantly occurred on Baldur Park and that the flooding experienced on Kelly Avenue and <br /> East Long Lake Road did not undermine the pavement. <br /> Cornick asked if this would be a path for any homeowner that had a basement full of water. <br /> Farniok stated those individuals were given references and resources in order to contact the state for <br /> anything that was not covered by insurance. <br /> Loftus stated in some of the surrounding cities that experienced sewer backups, some of those claims <br /> were denied because the property owners had insurance. Loftus stated the private property owners were <br /> given contact information to pursue a claim. <br /> CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br /> Mattick stated he had nothing to report. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Bremer moved,Levang seconded,to adjourn the Orono City Council meeting at 9:35 p.m. VOTE: <br /> Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> ATTEST <br /> Diane Tiegs,City Clerk Lili Tod McMillan,Mayor <br /> Page 26 of 26 <br />
