REPORTS:

will be on the Agenda.
Mr. Bell advised that every year the Drainage Board along with the Street Department purchase
leaf bags to hand out to residents of Jeffersonville. Usually we order one pallet and Street Department
orders one pallet. Mr. Bell requested that we need to order 2 pallets this year so maybe it would assist
in drains and grates not getting clogged up by leaves. Mr. Bell will keep track of the usage of the bags to
estimate purchase for next year. Mr. Burgess made a motion to order 2 pallets of leaf bags not to
exceed $2,200 and seconded by Mr. Gill. Motion approved unanimously
Mr. Bell conducted a presentation of Liberty Point,Spruce Drive and other areas regarding the
flow of water to the water shed in the dog part. They will review and study to see if there is anything
else that can be done.
Board Member Guepe advised that he had spoken to Councilperson Hawkins in Old Stoner and
had information regarding the flooding in that area. Mr. Guepe advised that the bridge in that area gets
flooded and emergency vehicles cannot get through to any residents in that area. City Engineer Crouch
will speak to the residents in that area and will see if there could be a solution.
