Whereas the Alton Village Study has been underway for over ten years;
And whereas an important part of a village study is a drainage plan;
And whereas Alton is an old village, grown over a period of 186 years with only a basic road grid survey to guide development;
And whereas current surface water drains along some roadsides, across some private lands or onto private lands without any coordinated plan;
Now therefore it be it resolved that a drainage study be conducted for the Village of Alton describing and characterizing the current surface water drainage;
And that the drainage study also include a section characterizing the current drainage capacity during a regional flood, including Shaw’s Creek;
That the costs of the drainage study be funded out of the Alton Village Study budget; and
That the drainage study be completed in 2019.
