Comment: ent: The design work on the north branch dam is being done by Stanley Consultants, but their work does not include surveying or soil boring. Litigation has been started by a citizen against this project. Legal advises aryl Public Works agrees that we should continue on with all work on this Project short of actual construction. Soil testing, surveying, final design of the dam, review by the Iowa Natural Resources Council, and lard appraisals will consume 12-18 months. We anticipate that a court ruling in our behalf will correspond with the completion of all of these work elements so that the project will not be delayed. It world be a mistake to stop all work at this point pending outcome of the lawsuit since this would throw us 12-18 months behind schedule. Public Works recommends adoption of this resolution.
