A neighborhood meeting was held at the Oneka Elementary School to provide the residents with an
update on disaster recovery efforts.
Mike updated residents on the activities since yesterday.
Chris Petree talked about the debris removal and the importance to get it to the curb and have it
separated per the handout each resident has received. He also mentioned that on Saturday night the
clean-up crews will continue to keep hauling away debris.
Nate Ehalt spoke about the clean up event on Saturday and the lost and found. People are
encouraged to accept help on Saturday from volunteers and that we are expecting around 1,000
volunteers. Family and Friends of residents also need to go through the Washington County
Service center to gain entry into the devastated area. This is to reduce the number of personal
vehicles and for the safety of the residents. He also mentioned that the food donation and pick up
center is moved to Schwieters warehouse which is directly south of the Fire Hall and that it will be
open on Saturday and Sunday for residents.
Questions were taken and answered at this time.
Council Member Puleo made motion, Haas seconded to adjourn at 8:OOPM
Respectfully Submitted,
Michael A. Ericson
