Council discusses possible drainage grant, Wallace Group study and resident tree concerns
Summary
Council received notice from GrantWorks of a potential drainage grant with a November deadline, referenced the Wallace Group’s prior drainage study (2016–17), and heard residents express concern that planned drainage alignments could require removing large trees along Tanglewood and adjacent properties.
Chair R. B. Davis said GrantWorks had emailed about a possible grant opportunity to help complete a drainage project and that the deadline for applying is in November. He said staff would meet with the new city engineer and GrantWorks to review an earlier Wallace Group study from 2016–17 as a starting point.
Several residents raised concerns that previously planned alignments would require removing large cedar elms along Tanglewood and neighboring properties. Council members emphasized the need to follow drainage easements and natural flow patterns and said any significant redirection of flow would be costly and would need further study.
