Residents press council on alley repairs and lake water level; prevention coalition and events announced
Summary
Public commenters asked the city to address potholes and overgrown trees in an alley, raised concerns that Soap Lake water levels are at a 'critical' status, and announced local community events and service changes.
During the public comment period, resident Marsha Neihart asked the council to address potholes and overgrown trees in the alley behind her property on W Main Ave. Ryan Boldman, Prevention Coalition Coordinator, said his office will move to Fire District 7 and announced a Prescription Take-Back event on Oct. 26 and a meeting Sept. 24 at the Senior Center. Suzette Slipper reminded the council and public about the Healing Waters event scheduled Friday through Sunday.
Fred Slipper said he believes the lake’s current water level is at a "critical status" and urged the council to consider forming an ad hoc committee if needed; Councilmember Gorman later flagged the lake-level topic for the next agenda. Thomas Page suggested the council consider a Council–Manager system for more consistency in local government. The council recorded these comments and indicated follow-up via future agendas for lake health discussion.
