Public Comment
Shirley Chandler who lives on River Street has damage to her garage from her neighbors sump pump. In March the Building Inspector and Code Officer served her neighbor with a 30 day notice to fix the problem. In April, 30 days had passed and the neighbor had not yet fixed the problem. Chandler was told from the Code Officer that he would start fining her daily and the City would fix problem and bill the neighbor if she didn’t comply. Two and a half months went by before her neighbor got served, states Chandler. The Code Officer then came to Chandler and said the City would do nothing with her problem. She then reads off some codes and ordinances stating that her neighbor should be fined. Chandler says that a sump pump has to be drained into the storm drain, not into the yard. She said City Hall called her and said the sump pump with a natural flow of water, like rain off the roof, and for her to get a Lawyer. Mayor Strong states that her neighbor would not let the City on her property to change the sump. Chief Arnold states that this has been an issue for nine years and there is nothing the City can do, this is a civil issue and that Chandler should contact a lawyer. Attorney Wellner will have something written up by the next City Council meeting regarding this matter.
