<br />County declared University City a disaster also. This then will be forwarded to the <br />Federal government, and wait for action from them. <br /> <br />Dion Lathon, 1133 Glenside Ln <br />Ms. Lathon questioned the amount of days the City is allowing them for clean-up. <br />She stated that residents were limited on funds without any assistance and virtually <br />being told that it would happen again. Ms. Lathon explained the lack of response <br />her family received from dialing 911. She was exasperated that the City showed her <br />a study done ten years ago as to homes that needed to be bought out and it has not <br />happen and here she is again, flooded. <br /> <br />Richard Alexander, 7451 Ahern Ct. <br />Mr. Alexander shared a letter they had received from MSD stating they were starting <br />a project to fix properties that were having storm water problems. That was three <br />years ago and MSD has done nothing. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams stated that he was aware of the letter and said the Federal <br />government changed some of the requirements for MSD and they decided that after <br />looking at the cost benefit analysis, not to move forward. <br /> <br />Richard Dockett, 6844 Crest Ave <br />Mr. Dockett felt the City should keep the flood residents more up-to-date since now <br />the City has emails and phone numbers of people who attended the Special <br />Session. He suggested a call list like the City schools used. Mr. Dockett thanked <br />Councilmember Glickert for directing the City Manager to do a fund raiser for the <br />flood victims in University City. <br /> <br />Paula Tyler, 1255 Waldron Ave. <br />Ms. Tyler told about a MSD manhole cover that exploded into the air at Waldron and <br />Midland Dr. allowing raw sewage to flow onto Waldron then to Wellington. She <br />stated she was unable to locate any help and did not see any of the Ameri Corp <br />signs. She felt MSD should have posted signs where their run-off takes place. Ms. <br />Tyler also said that each neighbor seemed to get different estimates from MSD. <br /> <br /> <br />L. COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Mr. Price asked the Mayor for a meeting with one or two of the Trustees of MSD. <br />Next he asked the City Manager to provide the Council with the history of MSD work <br />on the channel for the second time in an eight month period. He requested again <br />the City Manager to give them a report from MSD on the maintenance they have <br />completed. Mr. Price also asked the City Manager to consult with the City Attorney <br />to see what recourse residents and the City could have against MSD, as he is <br />reading that MSD has control, supervision, jurisdiction and possession of all sewer <br />water system facilities. Ms. Feier said that MSD stated they would provide this <br />information, October 13, 2008. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert commented on the debris found in River DesPeres. He said Public <br />Works has stated that they diligently spend time cleaning up River DesPeres every <br />year and he thought the City should be pro-active and bill MSD for doing work for <br />them. Mr. Glickert also passed out the flyer put out by Public Works for recycling <br /> <br />
