Steve Stiehl,2967 Chatsworth Street(bench handout to CC provided) Mr. Stiehl presented written documentation providing background materials on a sewer back-up at their home during the significant rainfall events occurring on or around July 15, 2011. Mr. Stiehl advised that approximately ninety percent (90%) of their basement had been flooded with raw sewage, and provided pictures in the materials of that damage, including an estimate for damages to the struc- ture, personal possessions, and carpeting. Mr. Stiehl advised that the plumber had advised that he could find no problem with their personal sewer line, opining that it was a problem with the City's portion of the sewer line; and when City staff ar- rived approximately %2 hour after that, they ran a snake through their line. How- ever, when Xcel Energy was auditing City sewer lines approximately one month later, they were still unable to run their cameras through the City portion, advising that there were still roots in the line. Mr. Stiehl advised that his written documen- tation included contact information at Xcel Energy for the City to obtain this vid- eo footage, showing the block. Mr. Stiehl advised that the City, when contacted several days later, again snaked the line on August 23, 2012, in an attempt to clean out the pipe,but ended up excavating it instead. Upon the advice of staff and contact with the LMCIT, they originally denied the claim; and again even with the Xcel Energy information, again denied the claim on September 15, 2012. Mr. Stiehl provided an invoice, including their costs in- cluded cleaning and removal of the carpeting in the lower level, decontamination,
