Presentation followed by discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the downtown drainage master plan by James Davey and Associates, LLC. (Jenny Torres, Economic Development Manager and Eulogio Vera, Public Works Director)

The City of San Luis contracted with James Davey and Associates to develop a downtown drainage master plan. Mr. James Davey will be presenting the results of the study.  The Economic Development Division is working on revitalizing downtown San Luis through a redevelopment plan. One of the major concerns and complaints we received from businesses is the drainage problems. The intent of the master plan is to minimize or eliminate the onsite retention of stormwater while providing adequate overall stormwater drainage. The area of focus will include the border to the South, Cesar Chavez Boulevard to the North, Mesa Street to the West, and 4th Avenue to the East. The proposal included surveying and mapping the downtown area, preparing a facility inventory, identifying and mapping a hydrological analysis, analyzing existing drainage conditions, and propose drainage options and improvements. Mr. Davey is working on the design of Mesa Street for a potential project to be submitted to the Arizona Department of Housing for a Community Development Block Grant. This study will assist in evaluating the drainage issues for this project.
