Residents press council on Pinecrest and Logan drainage; grocery owners report deli and drive-up additions
Summary
During public comment at the Dec. 1 Georgetown City Council meeting residents raised ongoing drainage problems at Pinecrest and on Logan, asked about school responsibility, and reported that a local grocery store installed a drive-up window and plans a deli while its Save-a-lot agreement remains unsettled.
Residents used the public-comment period at the Georgetown City Council’s Dec. 1 meeting to press elected officials on ongoing drainage and to update the council on local business activity.
Resident Christine Holycross asked about the status of the Pinecrest parking lot and said the city is waiting on drainage plans. The minutes record that Janet Greene said the group is to meet with Mrs. Neal; Holycross also told the council that Mrs. Neal had been told they could use the Vermilion County Engineer at no cost. The minutes do not record a staff response or commitment to a timeline.
Another resident, Darren Alexander, said drainage problems on Logan have persisted and worsened after the school added concrete parking lots; he asked when the school would be held responsible. Alexander also offered an update on a neighborhood grocery store, saying the store is doing well, installed a drive-up window the same day and is working to add a deli. According to the minutes, Alexander said the store will not sell alcohol and that the original Save-a-lot agreement signed nine years ago has not been updated by the current owners; Save-a-lot is reportedly working on a new agreement.
These items were recorded in the minutes as public comments and did not prompt formal council votes or staff commitments beyond follow-up notes in other agenda items. The clerk or appropriate staff would be the next point of contact for residents seeking progress updates.
