Millrace - The Millrace Commission reco'mmended C~uncil initiation of a program which will tie the lower millrace into the existing storm sewer, contingent upon acquisition of properties abutting ~he millrace by deed or easement at no cost to the City. The cost of the proposed program is estimat.ed at $18,000.00. Ken Morin, chairman of the Millrace Commission, said owners of property abutting the millrace are generally in agreement with the proposed program for increasing 'the millrace flow, and with Council commitment the Commission can go to the property owners for the necessary deeds or easements. The Public Works Director. said that although the proposed improvement e will double the minrace flow,. in the present channel the apparent increase will be negligible. Mr. Morin said the Commission feels any flow increase will be an improve- ment inasmuch as it would lower the bacterial count in the stream, and that bringing ownership under City jurisdiction would be the first. step toward possibl.e overall improvement of the race through co-pperative effort with the University.- Councilman Anderson asked if there could be some assurance of ultimate development of I the properties along the millrace for park purposes. ~r. Morin replied that i~ is doubtful the Commission c'an obtain deeds or easements if improvement other tha'n in- crease in the flow is cont'emplated at this time. He reiterated that Council commit- ment at this time is for stream flow. increase .only and maintenance, and that further improvement can only. be realized as the resu;lt of this first step. Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Wingard to indicate to the Millrace Commission that the Council will supply the funds necessary to tie the-Millrace into the existing storm sewer if and when deeds o'r- easement.s, are obtained at no expense to the City. from owners of properties abut~ing the Millrate~ Motion carried. - .
