Request for Drain Improvement – Section 78 Hugh Davidson Municipal Drain
Lucas Feitler, Drainage Superintendent – Engineering & Corporate Assets

Mr. Feitler provided an overview of his memorandum noting the history of this request. He stated that Mr. E. Bagshaw filed this Notice of Request for Drain Improvement (s. 78) on August 18, 2020, and the City is required to reply to his request within 30 days. He noted that the Hugh Davidson Municipal Drain had been largely unmaintained for the past 40 years, and had seen some unauthorized alterations from the original Drainage Report. He also stated that some of the current Ministry of Transportation design standards would not meet the existing design and infrastructure in place. He provided the Board the options noted in the memorandum, and noted that the scope and cost to return to the drain to the design specifications in the original report would be cost-prohibitive. Because of this, staff recommends that an engineer be appointed for a new engineers report. Mr. Feitler and Mr. Farquhar responded to questions from the members of the Board.
