DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES. MR. GHIOTO EXPLAINED THAT A RISER IS A LITTLE WEIR JUST UPSTREAM OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE CULVERT SO THAT YOU HAVE A MINIMUM ELEVATION THAT HAS TO BE REACHED BEFORE YOU HAVE OUTFLOW THROUGH THAT CULVERT. HE CONTINUED THAT IF WE WERE TO PLACE THE BOTTOM OF THE CULVERT AT ELEVATION "0", FOR EXAMPLE, THE DIKE OUT THERE NOW HAS AN ELEVATION OF 3 OR 4' AND WE COULD PUT A RISER, OR WEIR -TYPE STRUCTURE, JUST UPSTREAM OF THE CULVERT THAT WOULD GO UP TO ELEVATION 3 - THE WATER WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THAT ELEVATION, DROP OVER THE WEIR, AND THEN GO OUT THROUGH THE CULVERT. COMMISSIONER BIRD INQUIRED IF THIS CHANGE OF CULVERT WOULD REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL PERMITTING, OR WOULD THERE BE A RISE IN THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION. MR, GHIOTO COMMENTED THAT SOME MINOR MODIFICATIONS CAN BE MADE WITHOUT ALTERING THE PROCESS THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANYWAY. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ASKED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY ESTIMATED FOR THIS PROJECT. JOHN DEAMUD, PROJECT MANAGER, RESPONDED THAT THE CURRENT ESTIMATE FOR THIS PROJECT IS $1.8 MILLION. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER THEN INQUIRED IF THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR RESPONDED NEGATIVELY. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK ASKED IF THE PROJECT COST WAS $1.8 MILLION PLUS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION, AND THAT WE HAVE PRESENTLY $2.8 MILLION IN THE TRUST WITH ABOUT $54,000 A MONTH BEING PUT INTO THAT FUND WITH AN INTEREST RATE OF ABOUT $24,000 A MONTH. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON RESPONDED AFFIRMATIVELY. PROJECT MANAGER DEAMUD ADVISED THAT ABOUT $60,000 HAS BEEN EXPENDED TO THEIR FIRM SO FAR ON THIS PROJECT. CHAIRMAN LYONS SUGGESTED THAT A 15 MINUTE BREAK BE TAKEN TO LET EVERYONE LOOK AT THE DRAWINGS CONCERNING THIS MATTER. COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BOX AND THE ELLIPTICAL CULVERTS AND ASKED THE CONSULTANT TO JUSTIFY THE DIFFERENCE. t e• • "kT.tiu�ek':."Kr.��w` ..�..33�.:�'arffi'.'k"Y ',k d+n:f'T,:•F;a.:S'%%`v`b5:a 3 aoo 46, PacE 291
