Resident urges city fixes to Eagle View retention pond, citing algae and safety hazards
Summary
Resident Joe Blaney told the council the city-owned retention pond at Eagle View has algae blooms, dead fish, bank erosion and inadequate maintenance; he asked for rock or concrete bank reinforcement, an aeration system and dedicated funds this fiscal year and next.
At the public-comment portion of the April 13 meeting, resident Joe Blaney urged the council to address problems at a city-owned retention pond in the Eagle View neighborhood, describing algae blooms, floating dead fish, steep eroded banks and safety hazards for children.
Blaney said neighborhood homeowners had been left to create their own small barriers and asked the city to use variance funds in the current fiscal year and to include dedicated funding in the next fiscal year for a comprehensive solution such as rock, gravel or concrete bank reinforcement and a modest aeration system. He thanked Council member Scott and Mayor Dan Brady for meeting with residents and hearing the concern.
City Manager Jeremy Jurgens later told the council the detention basin work is projected for 2027 and that staff would address the issue with the neighborhood and council follow-up.
What happens next: staff said the detention basin project is planned for 2027 and will be coordinated with council and affected residents.
