G. Minikel explained the history of the area and said complaints date back to  
2014. After receiving complaints this past Spring, the City was asked to  
re-assess the area.  
Greg explained that there were 9 subdivisions developed, and no stormwater  
requirements at the time.  
There are 2 issues, the drainage ditch needs to be re-dredged and there is an  
ash tree issue as well.  
There is privately owned land with no existing easements. We are looking to  
dredge and typically a plan will need to be in place before issuing a permit.  
The Committee requested advising with legal as far as who is responsible if it  
falls on private property. The Committee will further discuss after the Assistant  
City Attorney has time to review and report back.  
A motion was made by Alderperson Steven Czekala, seconded by Vice Chair Jim
