Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 21, 2023 Page 8 helps us see if we need to tweak anything or anything further we need to address. Getting pictures and video is very helpful. We do appreciate that. A member of the audience stated, you guys came out the week before. This happened on the 121h It was the week before. It was a Friday. The sewer district was in my front yard, a gentleman and a lady. He asked me did the water come up over the road yesterday and I said, no, in front of my house on Woodlane. He asked if it came over the pad of the high school and I told him the answer was no and he said good, that's what our meters showed. Fast forward to the 121h, they were out front the 13th in the morning, but they don't knock on any resident's doors to ask questions. If someone is outside they will talk to them. Had they come to me the 131h in the morning when they were out there to say what did this look like, I could have stood there and showed them everything, the water flooding out over the pad, all of the water rushing in, taking out a neighbor's backyard. It was a lot. But no one asks when they show up to the scene to say we are checking our meters. They don't knock on anyone's doors to ask questions. Mr. Blair replied, that's correct. What they are normally out there to do is to check the meters. One of the other things they will do is our stormwater installation maintenance crew will go out to pre -designated areas. We take a look at those intakes for the crossings to make sure they are clear so if there is another rain event, especially after that, we could try and maintain it. They are looking at that and trying to deal with that and if there are any others they have to look at, they do. We usually don't ask them to go and talk to neighbors. Ms. Friedman stated, we do have someone specifically assigned to Mayfield Village. His name is Francisco Rivera. He is the watershed team leader. His e-mail was at the end of this presentation. Please, anytime you guys have flooding in your house or on the road or in your yards, send those photos because that field verification is very very important for us to know what's going on in your neighborhood. We have 62 communities that we serve. We can't be everywhere all at once. So it is really helpful for us when you report it either to your Village, your Village Engineer or to us directly. Francisco is our person. Even if you want to call him up and talk to him for 45 minutes about where it's flooding and see if you can get it through to us where you are seeing these issues. We want that. Please get that information to us. If you see folks out on the field, you are welcome to go talk to them. It's just that's not specifically what their job is which is why they are not knocking on doors. Mr. Blair stated, we bring this up in our Committee meetings in March and October. We have a new report a flood tool that allows the communities to basically fill that information out. It is sent over to us. We can get that report. You can attach images and video to that as well. That allows us to get that information and make those assessments. If we can get that information, it helps us. James Rundo 6200 Hemingway I'm right behind the retention basin. I will say with the high school real quick. We looked at the house four years ago when it was for sale, the one that you are monitoring, it abuts against the high school.
