Summary

Resident Danny Bollig told council ponding in his backyard on Anabek Street stems from prior city design decisions; staff said they will coordinate cleanup with county staff and investigate longer-term engineering solutions.

At the July 6 meeting a resident, Danny Bollig, addressed the council about persistent stormwater ponding in his backyard on Anabek Street and sought a path to permanent remediation.

Bollig said the area was originally designed for filtration and described his objection to options that would enlarge a feature he said was never intended as a pond; he characterized the current situation as "a problem that city created." He asked where the matter goes from here and whether the city will commit to a remedy beyond occasional cleanup.

Council and staff acknowledged the problem and told Bollig staff would coordinate further cleanup work with county partners and that staff would revisit engineering options. Council said the matter has been studied and staff will report back with next steps after field work and evaluation.

What’s next: staff will schedule cleanup activity and return to council with any recommended capital or engineering fixes; no formal council action was taken at the meeting beyond the commitment to follow up.
