Summary

A resident of Riverwalk Homes told the council she has suffered mold-related illness and criticized repeated delays in relocation notices; staff offered to meet and follow up in person to clarify operations and ownership status.

A Riverwalk Homes resident addressed the council during non-agenda public comment to describe persistent housing problems, repeated delays in relocation notices and health concerns she attributed to persistent mold. The resident said management had told neighbors earlier the relocation would happen in 2025, then 2026, and she asked the council to explain ownership and the timeline: "All you gotta do is answer a straight question, and you never do."

The mayor and staff interrupted to offer a follow-up meeting. A staff member said, "Ma'am, I'm gonna stop you right now... Nicole, you get her information, and we can set her straight on this operation of Riverwalk. I'd love to have you come in and we'll talk." The council agreed to meet with the resident and staff to clarify timelines and next steps.

The resident's statements raised health and housing-stability concerns that city staff said they would address in a follow-up meeting; no formal action was taken at the meeting.
