City of Centerville Council Meering June 22, 2011 3. Stormwater Drainage Problem — East of Centerville Road Between Center Street & Meadow Circle Residents were in attendance to discuss an ongoing drainage problem afFecting their properties. Mr. Cameron Letourneau, 6983 Meadow Circle spoke for his neighbors stating they were just looking for some ideas and possibly some help to fix the problem. City Administrator Larson stated Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director, had said the city had cleaned the ditch in this area of growth affecting the drainage 3-4 times over the last 15 years. Property owners felt that the main problem appears to lie within the triangle of cat tail growth between 6956 Meadow Court and 6975 Meadow Circle. City Administrator Larson stated the ditch is clearly City responsibility, but the wet rear yards in the area to the north is not typically a city responsibility. Any work by the city would depend upon available money in the Stormwater Fund. A lengthy discussion was had as to potential ways to fix the drainage. The Council directed staff to look at the drainage issues north of Center Street to Meadow Circle and Meadow Court and to suggest some options to solve the problems. VIII. NEW BUSINESS 1.
