Sep 20, 2024

City engineer and public-works staff described immediate post-storm actions—canal inspections, heavy-equipment clearing, and mowing—and said they had received 60% engineering plans for the G2/G11 grant-backed project; sandbags are available from a city stockpile.

City staff reported that public-works crews began inspections immediately after the storm, mowing canals overnight and using heavy equipment to remove vegetation and debris where needed.
