Written & Oral Communication: Resident Linda King and son Chad King were present to discuss a flooding issue at her home. They would like to know if there is a drainage map of the area around her house on Woodwind, as water backs up into her basement. They have tried to correct the problem, but it didn’t work and they would like to see if they can find where the pipes are going to follow it and find the issue. It was suggested to use dye if it rained again to see if that water comes up anywhere. Councilman Legron stated that he found a map, but it may not have her house on it. It was discussed that the Village is looking into the drainage ditch on that end of town. For now, VA Martin will see if he can call Darr’s to get a camera in the catch basin and find the issue.
Public Safety: none
Streets & Properties: Councilman Bulger stated he has been trying to reach out and find if there are any permits or grants related to the field ditch cleanout that the Village is looking into on the south end of town. VA Martin stated that he did meet with Terry McConnell and walked the ditch. We should receive a price before the 9/30 deadline for the grant preapp. Councilman Bulger reported that he did receive an address from Deb Briggs to be addressed at 406 Maple. That information will be passed to the sheriff to address during their contracted hours. VA Martin advised that he met with AEP about the Veterans Park and moving the electric underground.
