1. To the best of my knowledge the engineering with regard to the moving of water to a pond at the old Pines Shore golf property was done by OPA under Bob Thompson and was terribly flawed. The entire plan was more about purchasing that property for a new public works operation and athletic fields. Drainage was nothing more then a strawman.
OPA should have purchaed that property when it had the chance. The currrent overall project involved county personnel and an engineer, to the bests of my knowlwdge. I have not heard of the design cost. If drainage was nothing more than a strawman, why then did we just complete a new project design, with county involvement, that would direct water to a pond on the old golf course? The cost to improve the drainage down Beauchamp Road with properly sized culverts and including a storm water management pond located down by the existing boat ramp property was no where close to $10M dollars. In my opinion this is the only feasible option. Can you point to some estimate prepared for the Board of Directors? I recall the cost was estimated at around $8 million about 10 years ago. My current source says could be $10 million today. Regardless, we are likely talking about some serious money. |
