Jason Durr: It was due to the washout created by the end of the pipe, not the actual pipe itself. Joann Sporleder: And it was rolled in with the valve and half a dozen other similar situations along the river. It wasn't the only one. There's a whole series of them, which are still the issue. Jason Durr: Well, there was Leeper Island, which was completed just last year along with a couple of other areas along North Shore. Joann Sporleder: and then across from the island there was another outfall, which is still a problem, the big high one that cascades down. Jason Dun: Oh, the storm from the... yes. Joann Sporleder: I think overall it has been identified like 32 outfalls that need attention and part of the original one in 2000 as well. Jerry Ujdak: Would a motion be in order in the interest of time and also in the interests of the concerns of the neighbors, they've obviously opened some avenues here related to this project, that you, Gentleman, did not address and I'll just say that there are some things that there has not been a meeting of the minds, shall we say. So I'd like to make a motion that we delay any action on this project until the concerns of the neighbors are heard and addressed by the City, and the timeframe, I'm thinking at least 90 days. Do I have a second? Joann Sporleder: I'll second that... wait a second on that ... Can we have an opinion that we are in order to do that? Aladean DeRose: In order to do that, you'll have to obtain the consent of the petitioner to extend the time with a waiver of the 45 -day limit. Tim Klusczinski: We might table it though? Lynn Patrick: No, we can't impose that long of a time frame. Jerry Ujdak: Then, I'll amend it. Aladean DeRose: I suggest that you hear from the City Engineer as to what type of timeframe might be appropriate to take that into account as you... Lynn Patrick: I think that is a great idea, and I'd like to hear from the City Engineer. Jason Durr: I was just speaking to Rebekah Go, of the NNN. She has volunteered their establishment to maybe offer a public hearing to address all these comments. I would be happy to set that up. I would be hesitant to put a 90 -day waiting period on this. I don't want to seem like this is eminent, but waiting the 90 -days may put us into a time when we cannot enter the river because of the salmon run and therefore would extend it even longer than that. So, after speaking with our design engineer we feel we can address most of those questions and would be happy to do it in a public forum at a time... Lynn Patrick: I'd like to suggest a compromise on this. What if we hold off until the next HPC meeting, which would give us approximately thirty days?
