Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, August 21, 2023 <br />Page 7 <br />Mr. Blair replied, we had some initial discussions with the school district about trying to expand <br />the basin for this. There's an athletic practice field in there. We could potentially try and modify <br />that a bit so it'll hold water during the storm events. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, that's a potential problem. <br />Mr. Blair replied, it's part of it. When we talked with the property owner, they were not inclined <br />to do that. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, if you went back to your picture that you just had up, is that the new box culvert <br />driveway across the street? <br />Mr. Blair replied, that's the new one right there. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, that's the new box culvert driveway? It was a foot over that driveway coming <br />across the road in the videos we saw. A foot. Over that box culvert. In the driveway. <br />Mr. Blair stated, if you can send it to me. I haven't seen it. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, but you're saying it wasn't over the road. It was definitely over the road in the <br />pictures. That's why I am asking. The water coming down needs to be addressed more than <br />downstream. <br />Mr. Blair stated, all I can say is that the images you have here are the images we received. <br />Mr. Cappello asked, Al? Are you talking about the property just west of Mr. Mackey's? <br />Mr. Meyers replied, straight across from that. The driveway with the new box culvert. <br />Mr. Cappello asked, Mr. Mackey's box culvert was overflowing? <br />Mr. Meyers replied, yes. It was that high over his box culvert. That's why I'm asking. It's not <br />like it's the water downstream. It seems like it's the water upstream that needs to be addressed a <br />little bit so they can slow it down. Water doesn't run uphill. The problem is there's so much force. <br />It was crazy. Maybe deepen it and widen it at the other end, but it's not going to help the top end. <br />At least the way I am looking at it. If you saw the pictures and were actually hands-on there, it <br />was coming through the fence of the school like a spray. It was three feet up on the fence. <br />Mr. Blair stated, if you can send us the pictures, we would be happy to take a look. <br />A member of the audience stated, I can send you what I have. <br />Mr. Blair stated, if you wouldn't mind. That would be great. We are looking at stuff based on <br />measurements. We definitely appreciate getting any pictures. For now and in the future. That <br />
