Resident says storm washed out private road; council to refer matter to legal counsel
Summary
Resident Kathleen Kelley asked the city to add gravel to and reimburse private repairs to a road washed out by heavy rain. Engineering staff said the road is not a city street and that added gravel would likely wash out again; the council agreed to refer the complaint to the city attorney.
Resident Kathleen Kelley told the July 9 council that heavy rainfall washed out a roadway near her property and that gravel had washed into her yard. She asked the city to put more gravel on the road and to reimburse $1,200 she paid for private repairs.
Engineering consultant Mike Richetta said the road is not a city street and warned that adding gravel would likely wash out again. Mayor Malooley-Thompson said the council had heard the complaint and would refer the matter to the city's legal counsel for further review.
The minutes record the complaint but do not show a council vote to provide reimbursement; the transcript indicates the matter will proceed through legal review rather than immediate city-funded repair.
