Residents raise tree removal, stormwater and speed‑sign concerns during public comment
Summary
During public comment and the supervisors’ requests section, residents asked the Board to right a downed tree in a conservation area, explained mold and standing-water concerns after Tropical Storm Debbie, and asked about a speed sign project update.
Several residents addressed the Board during public comment and the supervisors’ requests section. Ed Nowak requested a response to an Aug. 6, 2024 letter about the Pinehurst and Master drainage systems and was asked to re‑email the letter to District Management because it had not been received. Anita Bachragh asked that a downed tree by River 9 Catch Basin #134 be brought upright and requested additional clearing of the conservation area; staff asked her to provide photographs for review.
Resident Christine Mantilia asked about stormwater management permits and whether fire trucks could draw lake water to lower lake levels; District Engineer Charlie Krebs said that practice would be atypical, could pull plants and fish from the lakes and would require approval from the South Florida Water Management District. Larry Fiesel inquired about a speed sign project; Operations Manager Shane Willis said Mr. Long is scheduling staff training and will provide an update at the next meeting.
