We really do appreciate that. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, Francesco Rivera's e-mail is riveraf(a?neorsd.org. He could not be here <br />tonight but he would be an appropriate person for you to send those to and if you could copy <br />members of this administration and Council on that so we can get the word out too, my e-mail is <br />bbodnar�ctmayfieldvillage com and dwoigamuth(atmavfieldvilla e com. Any of us up here are <br />happy to help you out. Thank you. <br />Mr. Blair stated, thank you. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, thank you for coming out tonight. We are going to continue this <br />conversation. Thank you very much. <br />Mr. Murphy stated, as the Mayor said, thank you for coming out. I appreciate everyone being so <br />level-headed. I can tell there is a lot of frustration in the room. I can't believe there wasn't more <br />kicking and screaming to be honest. Thank you for the effort from the sewer district. <br />Mr. Marston stated, thanks for having us. I have been here 20 years. It's only rained that hard <br />where it flood that much one other time. I can't believe it flooded as much as it did in 2015. <br />An audience member stated, 2015 was the last bad flood. It came across the road from the high <br />school. When the high school finished their new football field and moved everything back further, <br />that's when the water started. If you talk to the people that live backing up to the high school, they <br />will tell you that we never had water. There's a little creek between my daughter and I. We have <br />never had water in that creek more than a foot prior to the football field renovation back there in <br />the back. Now all of the sudden that little creek we have, her house had probably three to four feet <br />of water in it Saturday. The garage flooded, the whole lot was under water. You would have to <br />make a floodplain of four houses for the water we had on Saturday because her yard was totally <br />under water. Every inch of her property was under water the way the water was coming off the <br />high school. What you are doing with the Worton Park/Woodlane problem is attempting to make <br />a repair, but somebody needs to go back to the school and say, listen, this is where our problem <br />comes in we need to divert, re-route, detention, something, for the amount of water coming back <br />through that wall. Three feet over that wall is a lot of water. <br />An audience member stated, the football field is tefloned with water. I witnessed it four years ago <br />and it was only an inch of rain. It was like being in the right place at the right time and witnessing <br />it. I lived in Geauga County for a number of years where I had a small creek in my background. <br />I saw the dynamics of it. What I saw coming off that football field was nothing close to what I <br />have seen being on a tributary in the Chagrin River. It never got anything near that. <br />
