Resident urges council to act on persistent Main Street flooding
Summary
Gary Beavers presented photos at the May 4 meeting and said there is "no drainage" near his Main Street and Young Avenue property, asking why grant funding has not solved the long-standing problem; council requested a water report at the next meeting.
During the Hearing of Residents at the May 4 City Council meeting, resident Gary Beavers presented photographs and urged the council to address chronic flooding at his home near Main Street and Young Avenue. Beavers told the council the property has "no drainage" and said the problem has persisted for years; he asked why the city has not used grant funding to address the issue.
The minutes record that the council may present a factual response to citizen comments and that Councilmember Pamela Manning later requested a water report be provided at the next meeting and asked that the Home-Based Businesses ordinance be placed on the next agenda. The minutes do not record any immediate remedial action, a staff response during the meeting, or a clear timeline for a drainage solution.
