<br />Byron Price and Mayor Adams stated that it is important to contact the <br />representatives in the Federal government in hope to be noticed for flood <br />assistance. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci urged all to sign up to receive the City Manager’s Weekly report by email. <br />She stated that in the last weekly report, information was given on MSD and <br />government officials to contact in trying to keep the citizens informed. She said this <br />must be addressed on the Federal level, as it is bigger than the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe stated that Hazel Erby was to have a meeting for the flood victims and to <br />call her or him for more information. He suggested working ahead and estimating <br />the loss and dollar damage, so if FEMA comes through you will be a step closer to <br />filing. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that when addressing the government officials, do it by email or <br />by fax. <br /> <br />Sandra Ann Hewitt, 6913 Roberts Ave <br />Ms. Hewitt asked why the large cut up log has remained in the creek and was not <br />removed, thus obstructing the water flow. She asked if the American Red Cross <br />was still supplying hot meals. Ms. Hewit asked if the City had any fund raisers <br />planned especially with the Holidays coming. <br /> <br />Rosemary Ursin, 1191 Belrue <br />Ms. Ursin stated that she had lost everything in her completed basement and all her <br />insurance company offered her was $400. Her children have been suffering from <br />asthma due to the flood residue. She felt her stress level is so high and does not <br />know where to turn. <br /> <br />Fareedah Sidqui, 6905 Roberts Ave <br />Ms. Sidqui also commented on the tree that was cut up but the pieces were left in <br />the creek. She was concerned of the drawings shown by the Public Works <br />department that showed houses as hers, built on what was a lake. Ms. Sidqui also <br />said it took three weeks for her insurance company adjuster to come. She said she <br />has had enough and would like a buy-out. <br /> <br />Kelly O’Daniels, 1118 Wilson <br />Ms. O’Daniels said that property on the east side of Wilson is not in a flood plain but <br />rather it is a river-bed. She stated that in talking to her neighbors, they say they are <br />waiting on action from the City, waiting on action from MSD, waiting on action from <br />the Corps of Engineers, other than a study; they all were waiting for buy-outs. She <br />is the only one that has moved back into her home. Ms. O’Daniels said she is <br />following the advice of the City and emailing government officials but she stated she <br />is not getting any response. She asked the City to tell the homeowners if there is <br />going to be a buy-out because if there is not, the residents need to get back to <br />cleaning in order to return. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that the City declared a state of disaster and the City just <br />received an email back from the Governor before this meeting stating that the <br /> <br />
