Residents report storm damage; clerk schedules water-system update and lists administrative items
Summary
Public commenters raised concerns about storm runoff and tree damage from mid‑June storms; the clerk scheduled a July 16 update from Brad Veit of ILRW on the water system and provided administrative updates on flood‑plain options, curbside recycling and building repairs.
During the public-comment portion of the July 8 meeting, Samantha and Angie Stupak and Scott and Margie Simonsen urged the council to address storm runoff and tree damage stemming from storms on June 16–17. The minutes record those comments but note the council took no action during the meeting.
City Clerk P. Kay Cmelik told the council that Brad Veit of ILRW provided dates for a water-system update; the council set that meeting for Tuesday, July 16 at 5:00 p.m. The minutes list other administrative updates the clerk provided, including discussion of flood-plain ordinance options, curbside recycling, a water leak at city hall, air-conditioning and furnace concerns, and installation of a new TV monitor in city hall. The minutes do not include details on timeline, responsible staff, or funding for the listed items.
Council member Rick also reported on Parks and Recreation Committee efforts to improve Beach Avenue, Sunset Park parking and play equipment, noting no formal action was taken. Council member Ostrum gave a brief update on the NRCS maintenance agreement; again, no action followed.
The meeting adjourned at 7:54 p.m.; signatures in the minutes are attributed to Mayor Maas and City Clerk P. Kay Cmelik.
