AYES: 6-Beauvais, Murphy, Sayad,
Becker, Smith, Argus
NAYS: 1-Brookman
ABSENT: 1-Christiansen
Motion declared carried.
Mrs. Barbara McAlister, 4 7 5 Trailside Lane, addressed
the City Council stating that she received a letter from
the Engineering Department which made her laugh, then
she became angry and then frustrated; think about all
the flood damage and the money it has cost the residents
who live in the flood plain; the letter talks about what
residents can do about flooding-we already know what to
do; $1.8 million is spent for flood control by the City
Council and you are still allowing building in the flood
plain; our flooding never goes away; it is constant.
Mr. Dave Riker, 535 Trailside Lane, addressed the City
Council stating that he is a new resident; there are
contradictions in the approval of the Trailside Lane
project approved at the last meeting; 25 homes on seven
(7) acres; there is no logic here; surrounding residents
are vehemently opposed to this development; why was this
approved?; It is irresponsible and negligent.
Mrs. Irene Serwa, 1011 Crabtree Lane, addressed the City
Council cautioning the aldermen that residents watch how
the aldermen vote on flood issues and will remember when
they go into the voting booth; you continue to build in
the flood plain; you manipulate the votes but elections
are coming and maybe there will be changes.
Mrs. Leslie Riker, 535 Trailside Lane, addressed the
City Council stating that it costs thousands of dollars
to clean up our homes; how can you approve more building
in the flood plain.
Mrs. Sue Grish, 980 Crabtree Lane, addressed the City
Council asking where are the flood control activities
you talk about in the letter; we could be exposed to
health problems because the water is not always clean;
we are not being heard; we are not being supported; she
would love to see open spaces.
Mr. Vince Powers, 862 Webster Lane, addressed the City
Council stating that we have come before you before
about the quality of life; we have sometimes convinced
the aldermen to vote our way; a citizen referendum has
always been successful; he filed a petition with the
City Clerk expressing their appreciation for the
efficiency and cooperation of the Project Resident
Engineer for the Webster Lane reconstruction project,
Eric Heiker; he also thanked Aldermen Beauvais, Murphy,
Sayad and Becker for their support of the Webster Lane
reconstruction project.
Moved by Becker, seconded by Murphy, to POSTPONE
discussion on the Pre-Annexation Agreement -Resolution
R-84-02 and Annexation -Ordinance A-2-01, for 141-161
N. East River Road, which had been TABLED on August 19,
2002, scheduled to be discussed under Committee of the
Whole this evening, until November 18, 2 002. Motion
