According to the city's website, the project would cost more than $100,000. The goal would be to have the concrete dam completely removed by August.
The city is concerned leaving the dam would be a safety risk as the area becomes more populated. The city also points out removing the dam would make the river more navigable and would lower the flood plain along the riverfront.
No votes will be taken at Tuesday's work session.
