Mr. Benton, Director of Public Works, had presented the Board
a memo stating his position regarding Mr. Mannapperuma's
situation In which he stated that there are two drains In the
swale. The presence of gravel In the swale does not enhance
the function of these drains. The proper procedure would be
to clear that area of the gravel and compacted material
underneath the gravel, and replace with fresh soli and sod.

gravel In the front swale. Mr. Smith seconded the motion and
