Tall Lake Village resident asks council to revisit Guthrie Creek flood relief
Summary
Resident Ruben Juarez urged the council to return to Tall Lake Village to address recurring flooding from Guthrie Creek; staff committed to follow up with the resident after the meeting.
Ruben Juarez, a Tall Lake Village resident, told the Longview City Council on June 12, 2025, that Guthrie Creek continues to flood and asked city officials to visit the neighborhood and address the issue.
Juarez described ongoing flooding impacts to his neighborhood and invited city officials to meet with residents at their convenience over the summer. He thanked past assistance from a Mr. Archer and a former official (Mr. Perdo) and asked the council to “keep working on it.”
Mayor Isherara asked City Manager Roland McPhee (referred to in the meeting as Mr. McPhee) to follow up; McPhee said he would be in touch with Juarez. The exchange took place during the citizen-comment portion of the agenda; no formal action, timetable or funding commitment was made at the meeting.
The comment was recorded as a request for staff follow-up rather than a directive to begin construction or approve new funding. Juarez’s request will be subject to whatever staff review, engineering assessment, and procurement steps are required before any capital work could be scheduled.
