Nuisance Committee

The Special Nuisance Committee met on January 5, 2017 at 3 PM. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the drainage problem at Briarwood Road. Chairperson Paulette Johnson called the meeting to order.
Present:
Paulette Johnson, Trustee
Tim Cochran, Trustee
Tony Rushing, Trustee
Harold Sheffer, J. T. Blankinship
Mark Sutton, J. T. Blankinship
David Griffin, Director of Public Works
Mr. Sheffer and Mr. Sutton presented their findings on the drainage problem on Briarwood Road. They had drawings of the area showing their proposal for correcting the problem. The cost estimate of $42,795.00 reflects everything that would have to be done.
Trustee Johnson asked Mr. Sheffer if the complaint someone had made that a culvert from years ago was put in the wrong way was correct. Mr. Sheffer said it was not true. He explained that it drained the way it should.
Mr. Sheffer said the quantity of water draining to the lake would be the same. The changes would just control how fast it got there.
The meeting ended at 3:45 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Paula J. Parks
Village Clerk
