Residents report RAGBRAI turnout and a drainage dispute; city to contact neighbor
Summary
During public forum, a resident said about 150 visitors from 34 states and five countries stopped at Chief Wapello Memorial Park during RAGBRAI; another resident reported a neighbor-blocked drainage problem and said the DNR advised asking the city to redirect the water, prompting the mayor to offer to contact the neighbor.
At the Agency City Council public forum, Marsha Hunter reported that roughly 150 people visited Chief Wapello Memorial Park during the recent RAGBRAI ride, representing 34 states and five countries, and said volunteers want to host the stop again next year.
Resident Michelle Ludwig described an ongoing drainage problem in which a neighbor is blocking water flow onto her property. Ludwig said she had spoken with the DNR, which advised her to ask the city to redirect the water. Mayor Jake Johnson said he would personally reach out to the neighbor to try to resolve the situation.
Those public comments were heard as part of the meeting’s public forum; the council did not take formal action on the drainage issue during the session.
