major erosion washout along the north side of Maddie Lane.
WHEREAS, upon inspection by the Tiffin Public Works department, the washout under the street
and several residential driveways was a major safety and hazardous concern.
WHEREAS, the City Attorney issued a statement in response to his review of the Iowa Code
Section 384.103 in regards to "emergency public improvement repairs" and asked the Mayor to seek
a written opinion from a registered civil engineer appraising his inspection of the street and adjoining
structures.

specifications have been prepared by the Engineer at an approximate cost of $44,292.62.
