In a recent city council meeting, discussions centered around community concerns regarding flooding and debris management following severe weather conditions. Residents expressed gratitude for the city's ongoing efforts to address damage caused by last week's heavy rain and wind, particularly in relation to the cleanup of fallen limbs and brush.

One resident, William Dennis, raised urgent concerns about the creek adjacent to his property on Smith Lane, which has become increasingly problematic due to flooding. Dennis, a long-time resident, reported that the creek has overflowed onto his land, causing significant damage, including the loss of a truck and multiple fences. He emphasized that flooding was not an issue when he first moved to the area, but has worsened over time, now threatening to enter his home.

Dennis highlighted the accumulation of brush and debris in the creek as a primary cause of the flooding, noting that it has led to the need for barricades to prevent traffic from crossing flooded areas. He urged the city council to take action to clean out the creek to alleviate the flooding issues that have increasingly affected his property and the surrounding community.

The council acknowledged the concerns raised and reiterated their commitment to addressing the ongoing challenges posed by the recent weather events, while also reminding residents of the upcoming closure on June 19th in observance of June 10th.
