MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 249 2024 watershed decided a larger culvert was needed and the City raised the road three feet, which began his issues with flooding. He stated that this issue has now gone on for three year and the tenants have been flooded out. He stated that in the most recent rain event the water came up 1.5 feet over the rocker panels on a brand-new vehicle in the lot. He stated that something has to be done. He stated that for 47 years his water went into the creek and there are three other tenants in the building outside of his own business. He commented that his tenants are concerned with damage to their businesses because of the flooding that is now happening. He stated that something needs to happen. Rocky Waite, 2651 Lakeshore Avenue, stated that when he built his home in 1974, he came before the Council to request a lower speed limit, as the speed limit was 45 miles per hour and the Deputy at the meeting at that time said that they would not pull a vehicle over until it was more than ten miles over the speed limit. He commented that would mean vehicles would be going more than 55 miles an hour through the residential area before they would get pulled over. He asked that the City match Minneapolis and St. Paul and drop its residential speed limits to 25 miles an hour. He commented about a dangerous curve which should have 15 mile an hour signs posted. He then spoke about the Veterans Memorial and the needed maintenance. He commented that he has come to City Hall several times to state that blocks are coming out of the freedom wall and that the fountain does not work.
