Richard DeFoe - WaterWorks Beach Club - Signage. 284 Richard DeFoe, owner of Waterworks Beach Club, appeared before 285 the City Council to express concerns regarding the routing of 286 detour traffic to the south. Mr. DeFoe noted the MSA Newsletter 287 stated the traffic would be routed to the north on Peltier Lake 288 Drive and Mill Road. Mr. DeFoe stated his business has 289 diminished because no one can find his establishment. Mr. DeFoe 290 noted that he is unhappy that there is not appropriate detour 291 signage on the freeway directing people to Centerville.

This project has been in the 311 works for approximately four years. The project may be completed 312 ahead of schedule. 313 314 Council member Helmbrecht expressed concern about routing 315 additional traffic flow into a residential area. 316 317 Clerk/Administrator Tamara Miltz-Miller noted the current 318 businesses are just as, if not more, important then the potential 319 new businesses the Flood Plain Reduction project may bring. 320 321 Dave Nyberg, City Engineer, noted the city is at the contractors 322 mercy if a change order is requested.
