City spent money on the engineering report by qualified corMpets~tt aagrs of the entire problem as it relates only to the City of North Opted. The report showed that the building of retention basins was sot a tawa+sibla situation with the City of North Olmsted to take care of the probheai. 'That no ^otter how we approach the situation -the whole probSssa is to gee the water basically from ffie north side of Lorain Rd. to Lame Brie. City did not have financial ability or proper aareas to place °r+at+aaton baaiss. What is needed is a cooperative effort which is what the ~6ayor referred to -the Stanley Consultant Report -with Westlake and Bay Y3lsge the water has got to leave to the Iadae amd this is the only answer to the drape problem
