WHEREAS, The City Council approved Ordinance 16-12(A) authorizing funding for the inspection and design of storm drain rehabilitation improvements to the City’s storm drain system; and

WHEREAS, Rehabilitating the Bunnell Street storm drain (based on the recent Public Works inspection) is urgently needed to protect Bunnell Street infrastructure, and vehicular and pedestrian users.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF HOMER ORDAINS:
