Smyrna resident urges city to resume maintenance of drainage gully bordering his property
Summary
Resident Mitchell Young asked the council to restore routine maintenance of a city-owned drainage gully that borders his yard, saying invasive plants have spread since the city stopped upkeep and that unchecked growth risks obstructing stormwater flow.
Mitchell Young told the council that a city-owned drainage gully that borders his property has not been maintained for about two years. He said the gully is city property, serves a public drainage purpose, and that invasive vegetation has spread onto his yard since maintenance stopped.
Young asked the council to direct the appropriate department to restore routine maintenance to protect neighboring properties and prevent obstructions to stormwater flow. The mayor asked staff (Mister Jones) to contact Young and work toward a solution.
