Motion carried.Discussion was held on construction at the Stanley High School and concerns with drainage. Tim Holte, Superintendent of the Stanley School District, was present. P&Z Administrator Dennis mentioned that if the drainage plan meets approval, she will proceed with issuing a building permit. Councilman Gaaskjolen commented that without elevations, the drainage flow would be uncertain. Superintendent Holte stated changes are being made, the track around the football field will be angled to the interior field whereas prior it was angled to the outside. Superintendent Holte commented when the turf football field is built, there will be drainage piping to direct the flow of runoff. The parking lot will also be reshaped to drain around the football field. The goal is to have drainage flow to the east. Public Works Director Larson feels the present storm sewer system is not capable of handling more runoff. Councilman Hysjulien expressed concerns with businesses to the south of the football field that were permitted to build with their runoff allowed to drain into the football field. Councilman Hysjulien felt if a resolution is needed in the future; it is not just Stanley School’s problem because of the development allowed to the south. Superintendent Holte stated he is assuming the contractor will be shooting grades before surfacing. Councilman Gaaskjolen stated the City may need to consider a bigger storm system. Councilman Hysjulien did not feel the School will be draining more water into the system. Mayor Weisenberger feels it is the School’s responsibility to determine how they are going to drain the water off their property to flow to Main Street South. PW Administrator Dennis commented that she does not want to prevent the School from moving forward with construction because of this drainage issue. Superintendent Holte commented the School will make sure the water drains as they do not want it sitting on the new track.VISITOR’S COMMITTEEGeorge Littlecreek, Chairman of the Visitors’ Committee, met with the Council to present requests for grant funding from the Visitors’ Promotion Fund.Motion made by Hellman, seconded by Hysjulien, to approve the grants from the Visitors’ Promotion Fund as follows: $5,000 to The Sibyl Center for Life Enrichment for 2020 summer events and $2,000 to the Stanley Commercial Club for the Stanley Wine Walk on 8/21/2020.

Auditor Sveen commented the main attraction at this event was cancelled due to bad weather so all the grant funding was not used. It was the consensus of the Council to allow the Stanley Airport to use excess funding for an event in 2021. HOLIDAY STORE – DRAINAGE ISSUESSam Sveeggen, Engineer with the Holiday Station Engineering Department, met with the Council regarding the drainage problem in Westview Plaza Addition that is affecting their properties. Mr. Sveeggen stated the drainage plan was designed to drain to the west. The drainage pond has exceeded capacity causing water to back up on the vacant lot adjacent Holiday Station, making it difficult to maintain the integrity of the asphalt on their property. Public Works Director Larson mentioned there are two stand pipes on City-owned Lot 11, Block 1 of Westview Plaza Addition where the detention pond is located. The stand pipes are draining southeast into the adjacent field to the south. PW Director Larson stated drain tile in the field to the south could be a potential option to correct the drainage problem. PW Director Larson asked who would be responsible to pay to correct the drainage problem in Westview Plaza. Mayor Weisenberger stated he met last week with Engineer Ebsch, PW Director Larson and Tim Johnson to discuss the drainage issue. Mayor Weisenberger mentioned the slough was dry in the mid 1990’s. Engineer Ebsch stated drain tile would be a low cost solution. Engineer Ebsch stated he did some rough elevations today and there would be a .09% slope if the City could get permission to connect pipe to the culvert at the airport. Holiday Engineer Sveegeen felt pipe is needed to correct the problem. After much discussion on options to drain the pond, it was agreed the best solution at this time would be to pump down the detention pond this fall. Motion made by Hysjulien, seconded by Hellman, to approve hiring Nuverra Environmental Solutions to pump water from the retention pond located on Lot 11, Block 1 of Westview Plaza Addition.

Engineer Ebsch explained the cause of drainage issues included high water levels at Frontier Village Pond, vegetation growth and sedimentation in the drainage ditch and the 30” culvert crossing 4th St NW.Engineer Ebsch’s first recommendation to alleviate the drainage problem would be ditch maintenance, consisting of 620 LF of ditch cleanout along with future ditch mowing and maintenance, at an estimated cost of $16,000. In addition, Engineer Ebsch recommended the 30” culvert crossing 4th St NW be cleaned out at an estimated cost of $1000 or the culvert be replaced at an estimated cost of $34,000.Engineer Ebsch presented long-term solutions to correct the drainage problem on 8th Ave NW/Cemetery. Option 1 would be a lift station and force main from 8th Ave west to Frontier Village Pond at an estimated cost of $210,000 and Option 2 would be a concrete channel and gravity sewer running east and connecting to the existing storm sewer at an estimated cost of $530,000.

The chopper pumps would be compatible with the pumps at the Westview Lane lift station. A spare pump could be purchased which could be used at either Country Estates or Westview Lane.
