Hail and over 6 inches of rain caused our creeks to flood, resulting in 12 fatalities and over $61 million in property damage. In our first goal setting session in 2021, City Council made it a goal to create a stormwater mitigation program to prepare our city for when it happens again. Wes Bay, our stormwater engineer, gave Council an update on the progress the Engineering Department has made to create a stormwater division to maintain our system and fund the improvements needed to protect our community. I appreciate the work our staff has done and the leadership provided by City Council.
