Public Inquiries <br />Ed Gorman, White Hat Restaurant, explained to the City Council that on <br />1/27, 2/2 thru 2/6 he noticed that a red light was flashing on the <br />newly installed pump station . Bohrer stated this panel was put into <br />operation, that would activate the light, the latter part of December. <br />Gorman provided pictures taken the last 10 days of what he thought was <br />a potentially hazardous condition. On February 18th he noticed six <br />large dark spots in the snow, a week later the spots were larger and <br />standing water developed on top of the field. By Saturday there was a <br />pond that developed where the water was merky, bubbling and smelled. <br />Gorman added that he has a substantial investment next to this site <br />and asked what action was the City willing to take to make sure this <br />is a safe treatment site --not only for him but for the people living <br />next to it. <br />Gorman also brought up the problems with the Legion Avenue collector <br />system of a large holding tank overflowing, the red light flashing, <br />alarm sounding, backup into two resident's basements and a licensed <br />pumper was called out to pump the system. Gorman questioned if City <br />funds are used to clean this up? He voiced his concerns that this may <br />be an indication that the systems are not going to work as well as <br />they were proposed. <br />
