Summary

The council approved a patio and shed permit and addressed resident Lori Lutmer’s report of basement flooding; maintenance staff found the sump pump hole had connected into the storm line and will ask the County to camera the line to fix the connection.

Austin Garms applied for a permit to build a patio and shed; on a motion by Ryan and seconded by Ken Leinen the council approved the permit.

Resident Lori Lutmer told the council she was experiencing water backing up into her basement and believed it was coming from the storm sewer. Maintenance lead Josh inspected and found that, at some point, Lutmer's sump pump hole had connected so water was being directed into her basement. Josh said the fix should not be difficult and that he will ask the County to run a camera on the line to locate and correct the connection.

Council recorded the repair plan and left further follow-up to staff.
