COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC Lee Coggina' Fhendavvood resident' addressed Council and stated he fully supports the upcoming bond election for drainage and flood rnitigation, do not limit huvv or where funds can be spent, supports channeling, shelving, and benching projects, do not leave out possible detention ponds, and Council should keep their options open. He further suggested the city teem with Harris County Flood Control District to divert water away from the City of Friendsvvood by using tributaries and drainage ditches. Phil F<aUsneau` Friendovvood resident, addressed Council and stated he is at the meeting to ask Council to take a hard look at what citizens have done to build on the work of the Drainage 8ubcommittee, do not short change funding for drainage projects, knows it will be expeneive, and there are many individuals that will work to support it. Vickie Hefner' Fhendovvood resident, addressed Council and stated she supports all proposed items to help the oity'o dreinage, and during Hurricane Harvey she spent two nights at the shelter at the oib/'e activity center. The city needs to help with flooding but also should be able to provide a safe place for residents to shelter. The activity center had a leak during Hurricane Han/ey, drainage projects will take years to oomp|ete, and residents need a safe place to spend the night and take a shower. Rob Roy. Fhondmvvood resident, addressed Council and stated he moved to Anna Leo Subdivision 17 years ago, has been a quiet subdivision for the past deoade, five months ego the neighbor directly behind him moved in with two |oud, barking dogs. The neighbor's Great Dane will bark for houra, multiple times throughout the day. Animal Control has been called and the dog does not bark when they are there, recorded barking and took to Police Department for an unobserved miodemoanor, and the prosecutor 08/05/19 4969 directed him to take the unobserved misdemeanor recording to Animal Control. He stated he has gone through the process twice, one police officer did hear the dog vehemently barking and issued a citation, issue has not been resolved, and he is asking for assistance to resolve with the prosecutor. Lillian Wilson, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated she has lived in the City of Friendswood for 25 years, lived on the only block in Quakers Landing Subdivision that did not flood, has been through two major floods, small floods happen as well in the subdivision, neighborhood has become a detention pond for the city, will flood again, this Council may not be on Council during the next flood, please carefully consider what is being proposed on the bond item, cannot afford for the United States Army Corps of Engineers to review projects for another 10 years, families move away because they cannot spend their life savings on rebuilding, and she does not mind raising taxes to fix drainage issues. Connie Ratisseau, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated she fully supports funding the bond. Several Councilmembers have promised to fix the drainage problem, if bond passes there will be 10 miles of land along the creek that will be terraced, could be parkland, worked on the Citizen Advisory Team (CAT) parks subcommittee, could be natural and not manicured, goal would be to create a trail and park system along Clear Creek, tie to existing parks and buyouts, improve pedestrian accessibility, maintain environmental integrity, and there are many partners that are available to help with a future park development. Gail Lovely, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated she urges Council to consider carefully what is put forward to citizens for proposed bonds, pay attention to details with green space and parkland, engineering and planning is required, and if Council does not have intent for green space or parkland then say so. Removing more dirt will lead to less flooding, design and engineering work would refine the amount of dirt to be removed and where it should be removed from, early numbers are preliminary, dredging should not be included in bond language, getting all of the drainage projects done will take time and costs rarely go down with time, underfunding a project from the start will cause delays, let citizens decide if they want to fund the whole amount, do not hope for richer partners, let citizens get work off to a good start with funding needed, and if hopes for rich partners does not come to fruition then do not have to issue the maximum bond amount authorized. Ron Lovely, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and provided Council with a handout of charts, and stated the Harris County Flood Control District's cost formula uses $3 per cubic yard for general and administrative expenses, covers management, administrative and ongoing engineering support, contracting, purchasing, and legal support. The proposed drainage project will have government requirement and oversight and will require a contingency for unknowns. The Citizen Advisory Team identified actual properties in the floodway to be purchased and accounted for uncertainty and recommended 3% inflation. Sarah Van Riper, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated she was a member of the Citizen Advisory Team drainage subcommittee and has been a project manager for 30 years, asked Council to place the full drainage project of$56 Million on the November ballot, would cost the average resident$2 to $6 a month, and asked why Council is trying to push a lower number. She further stated she believed Council's deficiency in thinking included unrealistic expectations that people would give the city creekside property, unrealistic to believe the federal government may only ask Friendswood to contribute 20% when all other cities are contributing 25%, unrealistic to only put cost of labor to dig terraces and not include cost for overhead, unrealistic to not include contingency cost, unrealistic to assume cost from last year will not increase over the life of the project, and unrealistic to design the cheapest straight-line drainage ditch and forget about maintaining the City of Friendswood's natural beauty. Partially funding the Friendswood drainage project would be just like the Blackhawk Boulevard project that ran out of money and years later remains unfinished. Jennifer Waxman, Friendswood resident, addressed Council and stated she is a lifelong Friendswood resident, wonders how long until she will have to live a flood nightmare again, recounted her family's Hurricane Harvey story, she had 18 inches of water in her house and across the street from her house received 27 inches, contractor stole money during rebuilding process, and requested Council place the full 08/05/ 8 4870 bond amount requested bv the Citizen Advisory Team on the November ballot. � � WORK SESSION � Mayor Foreman opened the discussion regarding the City's proposed Fiscal Year 2019-2020General Fund Budget.
