ABSTAIN: Sims
Mayor Peterson asked Emergency Management Director Don Lynch
the status of the debris clean up at Shawnee Twin Lakes and within the City. Mr. Lynch outlined the events that had transpired since the May 10 – 13, 2010 storm damage. Since the area has now received a Presidential declaration the process of clean-up can begin. Bid specifications are being prepared and would be opened at the July 19th City Commission meeting. The clean-up of debris inside the City came in under the cost threshold, however, the lake area cleanup will be a substantially larger project. Mr. Lynch further explained that FEMA has recently changed their policy which will allow for the solicitation of bids prior to an actual emergency. This policy change will expedite the response time once an official Presidential emergency declaration has been received.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Sims, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to approve consent agenda item (h). Motion carried 7-0.
AYE: Sims, Holt, Stephens, Harrod, Peterson, Collier, Winterringer

He further listed problems that had occurred at his property, and that of his neighbors, due to flooding issues. He requested that the City take action to correct this issue in a timely manner and indicated that he would seek legal action if necessary.
