Residents urge McIntosh to prioritize stormwater maintenance after staffing reductions
Summary
Several residents told the council that ditch maintenance has slipped after public-works staffing was reduced and urged the town to make stormwater management a priority; officials discussed alert use and infrastructure maintenance.
Mary Ann Kelley addressed the council about stormwater and recent flood warnings, saying the town reduced the number of public-works technicians and ditches have not been maintained, and she "pleaded with the council to make the stormwater a priority." Cllr Deaderick responded that alerts can be excessive but said the town should be cautious and focus on infrastructure management and maintenance.
Patricia Dodd (East Central Florida Regional Planning Council) also raised questions about the draft comprehensive plan and asked "where the document came from, who wrote it, and when," prompting Mayor Scott and Town Manager Gonzalez to explain the draft's origin and that the council had a special meeting to address concerns.
