Discussed using Stormwater Utility funds previously

for an interceptor line at 6th or 7th Street to divert
storm water that flows to downtown from as far away as
25th Street; the Mill Creek/Cloud Branch drainage
improvements in the Goldsboro area will be delayed
because our Attorneys have advised that Sanford not do
anything along Cloud Branch that would arguably increase
the flow where the gasification plant was located, and
this will essentially stop us from proceeding with
planned improvements until the issue of the gasification
plant clean up is settled; we will proceed to purchase
lands that are needed for drainage improvements and that
have been flooded by storm water.
