PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DEPARTMENT REPORTS Maintenance Superintendent Goodman advised Council on the status of the underground storage tanks. He said the city was required to remove them. there were four, two in the park and two at the shops; they were now empty; and the staff could do most of the required digging in preparation of the removal. Hr. Goodman said this would require some engineering as the project needed to be certified correct with documentation. He added a local firm could do the work. He anticipated the costs to be approximately sixty-seven hundred dollars. Council agreed by consensus to the removal of the gasoline storage tanks. Mr. Goodman reported on the Eleventh Street alignment project. He said the engineering portion was complete; the intent was to bury some perforated pipe to help with water runoff which could also help some of the problem on Twelfth Street. He added the P.U.D. pole would cost about fifteen thousand and drainage thirty thousand. The entire project would be about eighty nine thousand and budgeted.

All of the houses on the south side of the street were developed with backyard easements that contain drainage ditches. There are, in conjunction with the aforementioned ditches, seven street gutters that feed into certain of the backyards on the south side. It is our contention that these ditches are a health hazard, difficult at best, if even possible to maintain. The homes that have the water diverted into the back yards have long periods of standing water two to three feet deep. It becomes like a magnet, an attractive nuisance, to not only the many neighborhood children, but to their visitors as well. It is impossible to baby sit back yards to the extend of avoiding accidental drownings. It can be a tragic situation, as well as one of liability, ours and the City of East Wenatchee's. Furthermore, oil, anti -freeze, paint, perhaps even pesticides have bee piped into several backyards. Every time these ditches fill, these toxic chemicals surface, even after two to three years. At this point, it may have to be pursued by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. ' We are concerned that to consistently monitor and consequently clean up foreign chemicals, etc., being dumped into these backyard ditches is not possible. This problem isn't confined to 12th Street NE. In times of high water fill, certain residences on llth Street NE also have been flooded out. We, therefore, propose that the water be curbed at the street as it is in the lower half of 12th Street NE. Both Bob Goodman and Nick Wiltz with the Planning Department have been contacted regarding this. We request to be put on the agenda at the next City Council meeting, June 15th."
