John Krywicki, City Engineer, gave an overview of the area that is having overflow from the creek channel into yards and streets. This area is in a designated flood plain.

Mr. Krywicki gave estimates on different ways this could be alleviated with estimated cost for these different approaches. The estimates range between $3.7 million and $1.9 million.
City Manager Brian McDougal and some Commissioners mentioned some cities deal with these cost by charging a storm sewer drainage fee.

A motion was made by Vice Mayor Harrod, seconded by Commissioner Hall, to approve an ordinance adopting a revised Drought Management Plan.
Ordinance No. 2551 NS was introduced.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11: Discussion, consideration and possible action concerning use of city facilities as public tornado shelters.
Don Lynch, Emergency Management Director, reported on the problems that face the Emergency Management team, the Police Department and the Fire Department during the time any storm shelter would be needed. The only area available for people to take shelter is in hallways and this causes the occupancy limit to be exceeded. There is also the problem of pets and food and drinks brought into the area. The emergency workers, police and fire need to be able to maneuver the halls and get in and out of the offices.
There is also the problem of people being out in the storm attempting to get to a public shelter when many times with the proper preparations, they could be safe in a substantially built building.
A motion was made by Commissioner Smith, seconded by Commissioner Winterringer, to terminate the use of Shawnee City Hall and Fire Station #3 as public tornado shelters, as recommended by staff. Motion carried 5-2.
