Petitions, Remonstrance's, communications, and citizens and taxpayers wishing to address the Drainage and Flooding Committee. Ed and Fern Lively -11526 N. H. Street - questioned the $2.00 drainage fee. Advised the committee they should not be charged a fee if they are not receiving any services. They are under the impression that the drainage in that area is being handled by Harris County. If the City is providing services, they would like to know what services are being provided. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Lively advised the committee of an area near H. Street and Battleview where the property was built up and is now causing flooding. Mac Duson - 4709 Austin Street, Houston, Texas 77004 - attorney for Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association. The HOA is recommending 5A with the following amendments: 1) South and North Sycamore to be included in the plan.
