Director of Public Works Report- Nelson informed the committee that on Wednesday, July 17 he received an email from the WISC-TV Call for Action regarding a Mauston citizen at 420 West Main St. He indicated that several years ago the city paved a side street eliminating a storm sewer catch basin but that was not the case. He says the drains on this section of the road around his three- house block cannot handle any type of heavy or sustained rainfall. As a result, water jumps the curb and into his backyard and basement. He was told by the city to build up his landscaping, which he said he has done, but this has not resolved the problem. He has had to purchase two new furnaces/hot water heaters because of the flooding. He also claims there are two other homeowners on the street facing similar issues. Nelson stated that the roadwork in question was done in 2005 and that he has seen no improvements to the property's landscaping. 6. Adjourn- The motion was made by McGinley and seconded by Noe to adjourn. Motion carried at 6:22 pm. _______________________________ ____________________________ Chair Date
