Summary

Public works staff said sediment from a December flood reduced channel capacity at Morrison Creek; the city and county are coordinating with Pacima and other partners to pursue engineering feasibility studies and funding.

A public works staff member (Speaker 2) reported crews completed a week-long cleanup of debris from an empanelment site and said that sediment carried during December storm events reduced the channel's capacity. He said the city has engaged Pacima, Pacific County Department of Public Works staff, and a consultation district representative to develop plans and pursue funding to mitigate flooding along Morrison Creek.

Speaker 2 said no final solution has been chosen; the next steps are engineering and feasibility studies, followed by funding applications. He asked for patience as multiple agencies and consultants coordinate on a plan; the transcript records an upcoming follow-up meeting to continue planning and funding discussions.
