Vice-Chairman Earp brought up an issue when it was raining really harda few days ago, he checked on the area of the detention pond on Sens Road. He stated the house on the north side of that intersection the one like a bed and breakfast 2-story house their whole yard was completely under water. However, the detention pond prob the bottom of the detention pond is higher than the ditches. Even 216, that flows under right there, had capacity still available, too. He asked if elevation can be shot at the detention pond to see if Mr. Phillips responded he will talk to the survey crew, and that a crew should be able to shoot the elevation, probably, in a couple of weeks. Vice-Chairman Earp stated that this Committee will continue to meet frequently, but had not met since 2015, but that many of the items on the list from 2015 have still never been addressed, and the Committee wants to nail down dates as much as possible. Councilman Zemanek asked if he could ask a question even though he is not on the committee, and it was allowed. He stated that 112 runs through Brookglen and the issue he sees is you have bayou that meets it at a 90-degree angle going to change that angle of intersection so Brookglen can get some relief and get water out of the neighborhood? Mr. Phillips stated projects identified along B112we are proposing in Brookglen Subdivision area, as well as looking southward down at the detention pond, as well, on B112. These guys (motioning to those also in attendance) can show you a little bit more some of that. talked about this morning when I was on the phone with Matt Zeve, the operations director for Flood Control, is that we want to make sure we are looking at the holistic approach to the issue there, buyouts in there as well. And we system there to help facilitate and complement what goes on in the channel, we need to keep that Councilmember Zemanek asked if he was correct in his ascertation head pressure coming a certain direction moving at a much more rapid pace and water trying to meet it at a 90- stated he was out video- would be brought up tonight, and Mr. Phillips stated he knew it would be brought up tonight about some of the things they are going to add to the bond list. Councilmember Zemanek replied, Vice-Chairman Earp stated he had one more question on 216, between Sens Road and the railroad thing cleaned out. Layne Yeager replied it is still on track, but if there any delay, they will let Lorenzo Wingate know so he can pass along the information. Mr. Phillips stated they would like to utilize this Committee as their medium for conversation and staying on track with projects. Vice-Chairman Earp indicated the Committee agrees this is a good idea. Page 2of 4 July 9, 2018 Drainage and Flooding Committee Minutes
