Gary Struzick of Klotz and Associates provided the committee with an overview of the report
regarding Fairmont Park East and Brookglen Subdivision Drainage. At the request of Mr.
Engelken, Mr. Struzick covered the Brookglen portion first.
Mr. Struzick recommended the City work with Flood Control to find solutions to the flooding
problems in the Brookglen Area.

drainage if the B112-00-00 channel was not full. Additionally, if this channel is full, B112-02-00
does not drain.
