Ms. Mangrum stated that water filled her window wells and disrupted her landscaping and requested help from Aurora City to prevent the situation from occurring again. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bosh explained to Ms. Mangrum that there is a problem with the property directly west of her home. There is 40 acres of bare ground where water during a down pour event accumulates quickly and runs toward the homes along 500 W. Aurora City has looked at the situation and has determined that the cheapest and easiest fixing of the problem would be to build a berm or dig a ditch along the property lines to divert the water to the south, around the homes and eventually dumping into the Windy Canal. The City will contact a company to shoot elevations to see if it is possible to divert the water in the direction. They also would like to have an engineering firm look at the situation and see what would work best. While it is unlikely that another such storm will happen during this year, Ms. Mangrum is nervous about future storms. 4- SHAY MORRISON R6 REGIONAL GROUP- Mr. Morrison made his regular visit to the Council to discuss various items. Mr. Morrison informed the Council that the R6 Regional Council has scheduled another Regional Growth Summit for October 22nd. Mr. Morrison also discussed the schedule for CIB applications and what is needed. Mr. Morrison also gave the Council a training on conflict of interests and when to abstain from voting. 5- REQUEST FOR BIDS FOR NEW GENERATOR- Mr. Bosh discussed some bids he had received for generators for the culinary water system. Mr. Bosh stated that he had received the information from Moore Electric and that there is a difference on the natural gas generators vs. diesel generators and both have their positives and negatives. Mr. Vercimak stated that it would be best to procure City of Aurora City Council Meeting August 17, 2026 Page 3 a generator from the State purchasing agency. City Council Member Andy Rasmussen moved to approve $90,000.00 for funding for a generator, gas line, property purchase and conex building to house the generator. City Council member Cory Johnson seconded the motion. The motion was approved by members: Rasmussen, Johnson, Whitney, Croft and Vercimak. 6- DAY OF SERVICE- Council Member Hunter Whitney informed the Council that the beautification committee has everything planned for the Saturday September 12th day of service. Mr. Whitney stated that there will be some preparation nights on Sept. 8th and Sept. 9th to prepare for the work to be done on Saturday the 12th. A discussion about the color of the gravel took place. The beautification committee requested putting in red gravel along Main Street, however the Council felt that the grey gravel would better match what was done last year and would hold up better. Mr. Whitney said he would talk to the committee and inform them of the concerns. 7- TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE- Mr. Johnson stated that the Mayor, Mr. Bosh, Mr. Rasmussen and Mr. Johnson had met with representatives from Jones and DeMille Engineering to discuss the beginning of the Transportation Master Plan. Mr. Johnson stated that they intend on installing traffic counts in ten places throughout the city and also do a survey of the roads and their status for the future. There were no updates from the Engineering firm at this time but will likely have some information soon. 8- COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS- Amy Croft- Ms. Croft informed the Council that the vacuum in the city building was giving the janitor trouble. The Council told Ms. Croft to order a new vacuum to replace the older one that had been in service for about 16 years. She also asked the Council about pest control. Mr. Johnson says there is a company that we have used in the past and he will reach out to them.
