REPORTS:
Rob Waiz with the Jeffersonville Redevelopment addressed the Board in regard to
requesting funds from Sewer and Drainage Boards $200,000 each and receive $500,000
grant for park site at the detention pond at 7 and Indiana Streets. The Council did not
approve this request and it had not been presented to the Sewer Board at the time of our
meeting. Mr. Madden advised that the Board's main responsibility was drainage.
Council member, Lisa Gill questioned about the water flow from the bridge. Apparently
the state would be responsible with the construction of the bridge.
Council member, Mike Smith was present and addressing the flooding problems
on 8 & Ohio, 8 & Walnut, Spring Street & 10 He gave information regarding the
maintenance problem across the city with the plants in the bio swells. It was suggested
that a member from Drainage, Sewer and Redevelopment Boards have a meeting to
discuss the project on the park site at the detention pond at 7 and Indiana Streets. Mr.
Madden requested that this be tabled and have Mr. Crouch to see what they are
requesting and bring back to meeting.
Ms. Cindy Doyle, 317 Lancassage Drive presented pictures and gave information
regarding the Lancassage Creek had washed away part of her yard. She stated every time
it floods another part of her yard gets washed away. She retained an estimate from Clark
Nichols in the amount of $24,100 to repair. Large trees had fallen over and been
removed at the bank of the creek. Oak Park cannot address the project. Attorney Lewis
stated that we were responsible for that area, but a study would have to be done and then
permits would have to be obtained from the Corps of Engineers. He will have to meet
with the City Attorney and get in contact with Corps of Engineers to see what could be
done in that area.
Mr. Scott Mosier and Paul Fetter were present from the Clark County Auto
Auction. They passed out maps for the Board to review in paving and easements. This is
property at 1626 & 1620 E. 10 Street. Mr. Gill made motion that a permanent easement
be signed and recorded, and that an agreement be drawn up regarding the detention basin
and drainage. This motion was seconded by Mr. Jacobs. The Planning Commission
would have to approve the plan. Motion passed unanimously
