AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Kenneth Minarich, 26573 Fairfax Lane asked if the city will talk or negotiate with the school board about the land behind Pine School before the next flooding meeting on June 18`x'. Mayor Kennedy said he does not know if they will have negotiations before then, but he has been in discussions with Mike McDade before and after the event. It's something the city is working on and will not lose sight on it. If it can be done, it will be done. There's some property back there where storm water could be retained, and it's something the city will pursue. William (last name not audible), 4667 Dover Center Road said he was at the flooding meeting and he's not here to complain. For every problem there is a solution. He thinks the city will not solve the water problem themselves and the city needs the residents to help them. He suggested that he next flooding meeting be a work session/round table discussion with the residents. He said there are older people in the city that have not been able to remove items from their basements. He asked if the city could help these elderly people. He is concerned about children and cleaning up raw sewage in basements. He asked what has to be done to clean it, bleach it and if it can be tested. He is really pushing for a round table meeting. The residents are going to solve the problem. He asked to designed the new sump pumps and new sewer plants. He wants to know if they're built correctly and if there are problems with them. Mayor Kennedy said the first flooding meeting was days after the flood, and nothing good is going to come across that day. Since 2011, the city has prepared a 5 -year plan. Part of that plan has been executed. Residents will get a copy of that which will be a good start for a round table discussion. He agrees that the residents will help solve this problem — what residents can do to help themselves, what the city is doing, putting together a crew to clean out catch basins. The EQ basins are extremely important. During Superstorm Sandy, they worked well. A lot 3
