Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: 8/12/2021
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request (Blackthorn Drainage Study)
Funding Source* (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General
*Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
Purpose of Request:
This request for $30,000 will allow for engineering services related to the Blackthorn Golf Club
Drainage Study. An analysis of the contributing watershed to the existing drainage basin as
shown in the attached Figure 1 will estimate the capacity of the basin under existing conditions
contrasted with anticipated future development, including the current development known as
the Claey’s Candy site. During the review of this site, the City was unable to locate as-built
drawings which would have confirmed the basin design and potential capacity. The City allowed
Claey’s Candy to connect to the basin based on the understanding that Engineering would need
to perform an evaluation of the basin to verify that it could serve Claey’s Candy as well as
additional adjacent properties in the future.
We request $30,000 for this study, which will verify the ability of the basin to fully or partially
serve as a master detention basin for future development conditions based on the City’s current
stormwater standards.
