Residents press board on downed tree, stormwater permits and speed-sign project
Summary
During public comment, multiple residents asked the board to address a downed tree at Catch Basin #134, clarified stormwater permit issues and inquired about the speed sign project; staff asked for photos and said follow-up will be provided at the next meeting.
Several residents used the public-comment period and Supervisors' Requests to raise maintenance and safety issues. Anita Bachragh asked that a downed tree by River 9 Catch Basin #134 be brought upright and suggested the conservation area be cleared; Operations Manager Shane Willis said he would review past minutes but noted a contractor had been engaged previously and asked Ms. Bachragh to send photos for staff review.
Christine Mantilia asked about stormwater management permits and whether fire trucks could draw water from the lakes to lower levels; Charlie Krebs, District Engineer, said that is not typical and would require approval from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Larry Fiesel inquired about the speed sign project; Mr. Willis said Mr. Long is scheduling staff training and will provide an update at the next meeting.
Board staff recorded these requests for follow-up and asked residents to provide photographs or documentation to help staff evaluate next steps.
