This includes field verification, cleaning and insitu-video inspection of all sanitary infrastructure, and incorporating this information into the division's computerized hydraulic model of the West Fifth Avenue area. An evaluation of this information will identify cost effective immediate and long-term stormwater and sanitary system improvement recommendations, operation and maintenance practices, guidelines for implementing recommendations for private property improvements.

2. FISCAL IMPACT:
