Council hears emergency stormwater repairs and dredging request; council to act later
Summary
Staff described emergency task orders for Ashford Dunwoody stormwater drainage repair and dredging of Murphy Kaler Lake — including an option A estimate of about 10,000 cubic yards of dredging — and previewed a capital improvement ordinance to appropriate funding for paving and a sewer easement near the MARTA station. Council will consider these items at a future meeting.
City staff on Sept. 29 told the council about emergency stormwater work and a planned capital-improvement ordinance.
Public works staff described a ratification of an emergency order for Ashford Dunwoody stormwater drainage rehabilitation, to be signed by "Christian," and said the matter will be presented again at the next council meeting for formal ratification. Staff also said dredging Murphy Kaler Lake was being processed as an emergency task order to avoid demobilization of contractors. "This is option A with an estimated amount of dredging of 10,000 cubic yards," staff said, describing the area adjacent to the dam and the low-water drain.
A separate staff presenter said the capital-improvement ordinance on the next agenda would close capital projects across the CIP and appropriate funding for a URA redevelopment project, specifically citing paving in front of the MARTA station and payment for a sewer easement. Because the council lacked a quorum to take official action tonight, council members said the technical and emergency items would be returned for votes at a later meeting.
What happens next: The city will present the emergency task orders and the CIP ordinance for council action at a subsequent meeting where formal ratification and appropriations can be made.
