A motion was made by Commissioner Harrod, seconded by Commissioner Collier, to approve item (d) lake lease renewals. Motion carried 6-0-1.
Mayor Peterson asked Emergency Management Director Don Lynch
the status of the debris clean up at Shawnee Twin Lakes and within the City. Mr. Lynch outlined the events that had transpired since the May 10 – 13, 2010 storm damage. Since the area has now received a Presidential declaration the process of clean-up can begin. Bid specifications are being prepared and would be opened at the July 19th City Commission meeting. The clean-up of debris inside the City came in under the cost threshold, however, the lake area cleanup will be a substantially larger project. Mr. Lynch further explained that FEMA has recently changed their policy which will allow for the solicitation of bids prior to an actual emergency. This policy change will expedite the response time once an official Presidential emergency declaration has been received.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Sims, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to approve consent agenda item (h). Motion carried 7-0.
Mr. James Graham, 30 E. Severn, came before the Commission to discuss flooding issues at his residence. Mr. Graham noted that he had been before the Commission on two other occasions regarding the same issue. Mr. Graham stated that 13 years ago the City of Shawnee made changes affecting the flow of water downstream from his residence, which he feels is the cause of the flooding in his area. He further listed problems that had occurred at his property, and that of his neighbors, due to flooding issues. He requested that the City take action to correct this issue in a timely manner and indicated that he would seek legal action if necessary.
