Presentation by Residents
Residents from Roberts Addition -Mitchell Danielson, Pam Bloedel
and Daphne Swartz were present to disclxss the problems they
experienced about two weeks ago during the heavy rains. The Swartz
Family experienced flooding that caused damage to their carpet in
their home.
', The emphasis was on the creek that runs by that property that is
causing the flooding.
Mitchell Danielson addressed City Council and advised that they have
contacted the Highway Department about: the problem.
Mrs. Danielson's husband wrote a letter to City Council and his
concern in his letter was that the Highw�xy Department has added
extra drainage that has put more water down this channel.
They were requesting the trees, weeds, a:nd cat -tails to be cleaned out
of the channel.
The State Highway Department has the drainage plans on what they
changed on Interstate 35 and field changes. The Danielson Family felt
the Highway Department is concerned about the problem and hopes
they will do something.
Discussion.
Mr. Hamilton's recommendation in correcting this problem was to
first get the City Engineer to do a drama€;e study plan with
instructions on what could be done to el�eviate the problem.
Mrs. Swartz and Mrs. Bloedel were concerned as to who is responsible
for the damages the flooding caused especially to the Swartz's carpet.
City Administrator advised he has contacted the City Attorney and our
insurance regarding the liability on these damages and the City is not
liable.
Mrs. Bloedel stated if the City was not responsible, the City should
have taken the measures to co.�a�a�t whoever was responsible when
they had complained before.

lt�. City Administration Report
City Administrator John Hamilton repari:ed on the following items:
a}. City Administrator advised that he has asked Dan Almon, the
City's Financial/Band Advisor with Southwest Securities, to
prepare a basic report on possible :Funding options for future
street, library and water/sewer improvements. City
Administrator hopes to have that report after Thanksgiving.
b}. On Wednesday, Hunter &Associates and All -Tex are scheduled
to make an inspection of the street work done so the project
', can be finished. Staff is still not paeased with drainage,
alleviating Bolivar Street, sa they will be discussing that
specifically.
c}. Garland Thornton also had good news concerning the Marina.
He did confirm Friday that Mr. Harber is in contract to build the
Marina and his son, Terry, is already out there moving dirt and
work has definitely begun.
d}. Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for ribbon cutting at Cindy's
Salon tomorrow at the new Bucklew Shopping Center.
e}. City Administrator reminded City Council that during the first
part of the year, they appointed Larry Yoast to represent the City
on the EAS Committee. With the passing of Senate Bill 632
Extending EAS Service, they contacted Centel who later
{sometime in the summer} advised that the City already had
EAS Service and the City was eligible.
The City then contacted our attorney in Austin who is
recommended by TML and Texas F'ower Association, Jim Boyle
and himself will be sending the City a letter on options of
pursuing this matter.
f}. City Administrator reported that there is a drainage problem at
Mrs. Sons, S(1(1 Willow, the construction work an 1[7th Street
has diverted more water to Woad Street. The long term solution
is curb and gutter that street and he will be visiting with
Mrs. Sons.
