Council Minutes of 03-15-2011 future answers to a number of questions and a request to establish programs within the City which are more proactive to prevent and/or lessen flooding in the City. At the minimum, the Administration should annually check the condition of the waterways within the City. Several members of the Administration, residents and Council Members offered input on the flooding of Monday February 28, 2011. On March 10, 2011 I accompanied the City Engineer on a visual inspection of several streets in Ward 4. We also reviewed several waterways which flow through Ward 3 and Ward 4. The waterways had receded somewhat from the previous week, even though it was raining, the condition of the waterways was visible. The City Engineer took pictures of several areas which were collecting a sizeable amount of debris from the last storm. The waterways north and south of I-480 converge together at Fitch Road placing a large quantity of water at one location. Within a couple of weeks I will convoke a second meeting for the Administration to respond, hopefully with programs to address and lessen the flooding problems. As the Ward Four Councilman my research has centered on Ward 3 and 4. I hope the Administration and Council can offer programs which include the entire City.
