B
You
thank
you.
Hopefully
those
were
good
presentations,
some
useful
information
for
everyone,
and
now
we
do
have
the
panel
available
to
answer
questions
and
if
you
guys
want
to
turn
on
your
microphones,
I
think
you
can
just
push
them.
So
the
little
green
light
will
be
on
there
well
I'm.
If
and
if
you
want
to
actually.
C
B
D
Thank
for
having
this
meeting
I
enjoyed.
All
the
presentations
learned
a
lot.
How
do
you
all
the
presentations
I
heard
so
far
talk
about
retrofitting
or
as
though
my
property
is
just
an
isolated
piece,
without
considering
the
consequent
effects
on
my
neighbors
and
Arlington
County's
side
of
the
property
and
everything,
and
when
I've
done
projects
before
relocating
a
driveway
and
improvement
home,
you
know
the
engineers
and
the
builders
looked
at
it
and
they
and
I
said
well,
just
let
the
drain
go
spilling
on
my
neighbor's
property.
That's
fine
with
me!
D
You
know
and
by
the
same
token,
when
Arlington
County
grants
permits
for
neighbors
upstream
of
me
or
uphill
of
me.
I
never
got
any
notice
like.
Oh,
you
may
have
more
runoff.
Now
then
you
ever
had
in
the
27
years.
You've
been
living
in
that
house.
So
I,
just
wonder
how
we
you
know.
We
approach
this
with
being
good
neighbors
and
you
know
it
does.
Arlington
County
have
any
responsibility
to
ensure
that
one
homeowner
doesn't.
You
know
spill
over
there
flood
mitigation
measures
to
make
it
only
worse
for
the
next-door
neighbors
I.
B
Folks
have
one
of
contribute:
that's
fine,
too,
in
terms
of
the
neighbor
to
neighbor
drainage.
You
know
for
redevelopment
projects,
we
do
require
stormwater
management
for
new
homes
and
large
home
addition
that
are
built
so
we're.
You
know
those
rules
were
updated
in
2014
and
we're
actually
looking
at
them
again,
because
we
do
sometimes
even
with
those
requirements
because
of
topography
and
other
issues,
you
know,
even
with
the
stormwater
management
is
required,
there
can
still
be
challenges
with
with
the
runoff
there,
so
we
work
with
homeowners
a
lot.
B
We
do
have
some
information
here
on
our
stormwater
wise
landscapes
program
and
we
have
some
of
our
other
staff.
Here
we
do
site
visits,
so
maybe
something
that
we
could
could
meet
with
you
as
well.
You
know,
or
sometimes
we
meet
with
several
owners
because
of
slopes.
If
you
have
homes
kind
of
coming
down
a
hill,
often
those
can
be
challenges
so
we're
happy
to
try
to
work.
You
know,
if
there's
a
particular
issue
there
so
again
feel
free
to
write
in
on
your
comment
or
you
can
catch
me
after
the
the
meetings
in.
F
E
Our
house
is
myself
with
Jeannie
my
wife,
my
house,
located
on
18th
Street,
okay,
we
have
two
years
in
a
row
and
that
being
flooded
and
all
of
sudden,
just
in
the
40
minutes
up
at
him
for
supper
up
to
about
a
half
feet:
entire
basements
and
that
dinner
haven't.
We
lived
there.
Almost
40
years,
never
happened
before
that's
only
two
years
in
the
role,
not
only
this
time,
it's
100
years,
but
I
I
couldn't
explain
the
last
year
that
wasn't
100
years,
but
just
my
house.
E
So
apparently
the
way
everything
of
the
plan
so
well
plan
is
last
month's
Dewberry.
You
company,
saying
to
engineer,
come
to
our
house:
okay,
so
I'm
consultation
and
advice,
and
one
thing
I
did
mention
to
them
and
they
till
report
afterward,
but
I
didn't
see
it.
What
is
suggest
is
because
our
shape
is
the
end
of
the
18th
Street
and
turn
to
the
K
Johnson.
Okay,.
H
E
Then
we'll
right
next
to
the
bike
trail
Curtis
back
well,
so
we
have
come
to
we
have
here
is
the
lowest
points
about
220
feet
as
on
counter
country,
country
pac-man,
so
the
back
trail.
What
I
suggesting
to
the
engineer
is,
if
you
can
lowers
the
release
point
it's
bacterial
is
the
higher
test
was
about
10
feet
higher
to
the
lowest
point
of
it.
Okay,.
H
E
If
I'm
planning
to
raise
the
subfloor
to
rebuild
it,
so
I
can
reach
to
6
feet
at
least
6
feet
and
then,
if
you
can
lower
this
release,
point
for
like
Aaron
Alice
tree
three
times
three
feet:
diameter
of
the
outlet
outlet
pipe
just
just
just
in
case
when
you
overflowed
it.
So
since
that
one
or
once
a
hundred
years
that
pretty
just
insurance
so
can
release
that
to
the
other
side
of
bacteria
and
then
let
it
go.
So
that
means
not
only
will
solve
our
problem,
our
neighbor
as
well.
E
We
give
Lana
la
our
house
adjacent
house,
the
or
flood,
so
they
are
just
well
lowers
body.
They
fly
like
four
feet
and
two
feet.
So
if
we
can
that
the
county
can
engineer
that
just
a
little,
the
all
L
release
the
pipe
and
then
to
the
other
side
of
the
and
then
that
will
work
very
well
I
think
that
would
solve
the
problem
of
it.
G
And
are:
are
you
in
the
floodplain?
Are
you
in
the
floodplain
I.
G
I
C
Yeah
yeah,
so
that
it's
it's
only
covering
what
services
the
building
and
the
structure
it's
not
going
to
cover.
If
your
basements
finished
it's
not
going
to
cover
any
of
the
finishings,
it's
going
to
cover
low
value
storage
but
yeah.
If
it's
finished,
they're
not
gonna
cover
any
the
drywall.
None
of
the
anything
is
anything
of
the
finishing
it's.
C
A
lot
of
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
that
that
think
that
which
I
guess
you
could
it
does
make
a
little
sense,
but
the
main
thing
you're
protecting
is
the
structure
and
if
you
have
a
basement,
I
believe
John
was
talking
about
buoyancy,
force
and
lateral
forces.
Not
only
is
there
hydrostatic
pressure
above
ground
from
the
water,
but
the
ground
is
also
moving
with
the
floodwater
and
with
a
subgrade
space.
There's
a
detention
on
the
foundation,
so
you
know
some
from
a
higher
level.
You
think
you
know
well
they're
not
covering
nothing
down.
I
C
I
C
C
G
C
C
What
are
they
saying?
You
may
be
a
subgrade
crawlspace.
J
J
J
J
K
K
It
sorry
no
the
flood
insurance.
You
said
it
has
to
be
there
to
properties
or
something
like
that.
I'm
in
a
situation
where
I'm
not
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill
or
anything
I
just
happen
to
have
flood
water
from
30
houses.
Arlington
County
directs
into
my
backyard
lucky
me
and
the
pipes
aren't
big
enough,
and
so
they
overflow
and
obviously
then
I
get
six
feet
of
water
right
in
just
my
basement.
Wow,
so
is
there
any
product
that
that
would
offer
me
any
sort
of
coverage
because
it's
not
I'm
not
in
a
floodplain
I'm.
J
B
K
L
I'm
going
to
take
the
hit
for
Eileen
here,
my
name
is
dmytro
mcbride,
I'm
the
bureau
chief
of
the
office
of
sustainability
and
environmental
management.
Stormwater
is
one
of
our
departments.
We
understand
and
we
certainly
have
been
clocking
over
the
past
two
years.
The
volatility
in
the
rainfall
and
I'm,
not
punting
I,
think
after
I
get
through
responding.
L
I
also
want
to
pull
Michael
Smith
in
because
he's
there
with
the
property
and
lost
division
at
the
state
level,
and
we
were
talking
before
the
evening
started
tonight
and
you're,
seeing
a
lot
more
volatility
and
we're
really
encountering
new
challenges.
As
for
the
the
excess,
the
the
closeout
funds
that
you
saw,
that
money
has
a
lot
of
demands
that
came
in
with
a
lot
of
suggestions
and
people
who
had
very
strong
feelings
about
a
lot
of
different
things
to
our
motors,
one
of
them.
What
we're
doing
right
now
and
I'm,
just
asking
for
patience.
L
I
know
that's
hard.
When
your
home
is
exposed,
we
have
come
to
the
determination
that
we
really
have
to
expand
our
toolbox.
We
really
have
to
start
thinking
out
of
the
box.
We
are
not
alone.
We're
meeting
within
the
next
week,
or
so
with
our
neighbors
and
Fairfax,
who
are
saying
the
same
thing
and
we're
comparing
blue
sky
lists
different
ideas.
What
can
be
implemented
here
so
we're
really
it's
a
little
premature
to
start
claiming
money
from
what
other
whatever
fund.
L
But
we
want
you
to
know
that
during
this
operating
budget
cycle,
as
well
as
the
CIP
cycle,
we're
going
to
be
considering
a
lot
of
new
approaches
and
they're
going
to
be
somewhat
different.
I
am
going
to
tell
you
that,
warn
you
and
we'll
talk
about
this
at
another
time
and
as
Eileen
started
off.
This
is
not
to
say
that
we
are
trying
to
make
the
flooding
your
problem
tonight
was
about
giving
information
and
exchanging
information,
because,
after
July
8th,
we
had
a
lot
of
comments
over
a
thousand
and
a
lot
of
times.
L
People
are
like
we
did
know
about
insurance.
We
didn't
know
about.
We
didn't
know
about
that,
so
this
is
giving
you
information.
This
is
not
to
suggest
remote
like
that.
The
county
is
not
working
towards
doing
something
different,
more
profound
and
taking
resilience
on
our
back
too.
So
just
stick
with
us:
through
these
budget
cycles
and
there'll
be
more
information.
I.
K
Guess
my
question:
how
do
we
advocate
for
ourselves
and
was
a
bit
the
best
way
to
do
it
and
I
say
that
because
I
had
the
county
come
out
and
look
at
our
pipes
whose
years
ago
they
said
yep
they're
insufficient,
we'll
add
that
to
our
list
and
you
know:
I
didn't
I
didn't
flood
on
July
8th
I
floated
on
July,
6th
and
July
8th.
So
it
wasn't
in
the
100-year
flood
that
you
know.
Sorry,
it's
it's
and
you
know
it's
in
my
base
in
my
driveway,
so
I
can't
I
can't
landscape
around
it.
K
L
Is
going
to
be
a
community
outreach
that
is
going
to
be
specifically
tailored
for
this
budget
cycle
over
the
next
I
would
say,
starting
from
November
December
through
May
June
of
next
year.
There's
the
overlapping
operating
and
CIP
capital
improvement
projects.
So
they're
going
to
be
several
different
opportunities
for
the
public
to
be
active
and
to
give
us
feedback.
J
Mike
Bruce
I
actually
work
with
the
Civic
Federation
Lehigh,
winning
that
Alliance
I'm
on
the
board.
Awake
Roth
would
want
Civic
Association.
A
couple
of
our
group
are
here
tonight.
There
is
a
Civic
Federation
infrastructure
on
infrastructure,
remediation
and
I
would
say.
I
would
I
would
encourage
all
of
you
to
go.
Look
at
that
at
the
Civic
Federation
and
I'll
go
to
your
civic
associations.
I
know
it.
The
Civic
Federation
County.
J
Candidates
forum,
mr.
Dorsey,
did
make
a
lot
of
statements
on.
He
is
going
to
make
some
proposals.
He
said
it
was
going
to
be
at
the
September
24th
county
board
meeting.
But
again
this
is
the
form
we
got
which
isn't
really
addressing
the
issue
that
most
of
us
are
facing,
because
the
floodwaters
are
coming
from
County
infrastructure,
not
from
rainfall
in
our
land,
okay,.
L
Hey
I,
actually
it
is,
and
I
don't
want
to
use
up,
because
I
know
that
we
have
to
close
at
eight
thirty,
eight
thirty
five
tonight
I
do
want
to
address
the
issues
that
this
forum
was
intended
for
again:
I'm,
not
punting,
but
if
you
want
to
you
know,
we
can
have
a
separate
forum
about
those
waters.
It's
not
the
pipes
that
are
flooding
hold
on.
It's,
not
the
pipes
that
are
flooding
the
pipes
are
overwhelmed
by
the
significant
storms.
L
So
it's
the
significant
storm
I
want
to
be
very
clear
about
causation
here,
but
again
this
is
about
flood
resilience,
and
this
is
about
issues
and
helping
to
push
information
out
to
you
about
things
that
you
can
undertake
and
we
are
working
hard
and
due
diligence
constantly,
and
this
has
been
going
on
for
at
least
six
months
to
look
at
what
we
can
do.
So
there
are
going
to
be
forms
for
that.
I
did
want
to
ask
Michael
at
the
state
level.
M
That's
good,
I
I
would
I
would
say
to
you
just
by
starting
that
the
insurance
industry,
whether
you
look
at
it
from
a
personal
commercial
standpoint,
is
evolving
and
we,
as
consumers,
are
getting
more
involved
in
upfront
prevention
and
mitigation.
We
at
the
bureau.
Our
mission
and
purpose
is
to
serve
you
as
the
consumer,
so
that
when
we
come
out
here
and
outreach
is
to
provide
education
every
that.
The
conversations
that
we
had
tonight
have
talked
about
NFIP,
but
one
of
the
better
kept
secrets
and
I
say
it.
M
But
now
with
a
lot
of
logjam
and
bureaucracy
and
the
fact
that
it
is
such
a
great
potential
in
the
marketplace.
We're
seeing
companies
begin
to
think
about
private
flood
insurance.
What
we've
done
in
the
bureau
and
March
of
this
year,
as
we
passed
an
administrative
order
to
exempt
all
private
flood
rates
from
being
filed
with
the
bureau.
What
that
means
is
that
those
private
insurers
would
have
the
option
to
utilize
the
rates
that
they
think
would
make
money
and
drive
a
profit
with
the
hope
that
that
would
increase
competition.
M
M
H
I'm,
not
gonna
belabor
the
point
about
the
county
pipes.
I
think
everybody
agrees
that
there's
issues
with
that.
So
what
I
want
to
touch
on
is
what
a
Taylor
and
John
spoke
on.
Tyler
I
apologize
for,
jumping
on
you
on
the
cause
of
the
there
is
dry
foot
barriers,
but
here's
the
thing
I'm
in
a
condominium
building
and
then
we're
right
next
door
to
a
Quincy,
Park:
okay,
where
it
sits.
It's
just
in
the
depression,
a
natural
depression,
okay,
so
water
is
coming
down
from
ten
street
from
the
library
going
down.
H
Fdic's
got
a
gradient
slope.
It's
coming
through
that
way,
I
get
it
from
the
left
side.
In
the
right
side,
we
got
a
brand
new
Megan
apartment
building
across
the
street
called
a
latitude,
but
the
beautiful
breezeway,
unfortunately
I
call
it
a
man-made
viaduct,
because
when
it
flooded,
the
water
came
straight
down
at
us
now.
H
What
sits
right
at
the
got
the
juncture
between
the
water
coming
from
the
left
water
coming
from
the
right
and
coming
right
at
us
he's
our
front
door,
and
so
I
was
asking
the
question
about
different
types
of
drive:
dry,
waterproofing
barriers.
Now,
John
you
touched
on
this
already
and
I
really
already
checked
ferm,
where
our
building
sits,
I
thought
our
address
in
there
okay,
we
are
considered
low-risk,
but
FEMA
said
they've
been
updated
because
of
the
last
day
last
time,
I
was
done
with
2013,
so
they're,
currently
updating
it.
H
H
Talking
about
well
what
happened
at
that
day
in
July
8th
this
year
and
we
have
to
let
it
twice:
1819
July,
2018
2019,
the
water
would
came
up
so
much.
There
was
a
parked
car
in
front.
It
lifted
a
car
up
off
the
off
the
street
and
when
the
water
resided
it
put
it
right
on
top
of
us
on
the
sidewalk.
Okay,
so
is
about
it's
about
three
feet:
high,
always
like
carnage,
videos
but
yeah,
so
I
know.
There's
people
behind
me.
Waiting
and
I
know,
there's
time
only
about
12
minutes.
G
Perspective
is
this
I
kind
of
have
a
magic
number
of
three
feet
on
a
lot
of
my
drive,
flood
proofing,
stuff
right,
Tyler's
number
goes
a
little
higher
for
commercial
I
tend
to
keep
it
at
three
feet
because
that's
when
I
see
most
structures
fail
under
hydrostatic
low
that
aren't
reinforced
right.
So
if
it's
under
three
feet,
I
think
there's
more
flexibility
to
do
certain
things
than
if
it's
above
three
feet.
Yeah.
H
It's
between
two
to
two
to
three,
but
it's
moving
water,
so
some
of
the
flood
buries
were
looking
at
it,
we're
looking
at
all
kinds
from
very
expensive
ones,
with
low
human
intervention,
they
called
by
FEMA,
okay,
high
human
intervention,
which
of
course,
there's
a
problem,
because
if
you
don't
have
the
right
personnel
there
or
the
equipment
is
not
available
to
basically
put
in
place,
you
can
get
flooded.
So
exactly
if
we
got
time
after
8:30
come
up
and
see
you
a
little
time
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you
folks
for
being
here
tonight
and
thank
you
for
putting
on
the
workshop
I
appreciate
it
as
someone
who's
looking
to
rebuild
my
basement
for
the
third
time
in
three
years,
I
look
through
the
the
FEMA
p3
12
documented
sort
of
resilient
building
materials,
one
of
things
that
does
not
reference
as
insulation
materials.
That
says
what's
bad
but
doesn't
really
say.
G
G
Technical
Bulletin
2
is
long
overdue
for
an
update.
One
of
the
reasons
they're
waiting
on
that
update
is
they're
actually
trying
to
I
know
this,
because
my
coworker,
who
done
the
haul
for
me,
is
actually
at
the
committee
for
NIST
right
now,
but
we're
actually
trying
to
get
a
standard
put
in
through
NIST
or
oh
sorry,
ASTM
to
kind
of
of
that
better
evaluate
flood
resistant
materials
right
now,
because
the
current
standard
for
look
for
the
resistant
materials
is
immersion
of
the
sample
in
type
4
water,
which
is
distilled
water.
G
So
many
things
can
withstand
it,
distilled
water
flooding,
but
many
cannot
handle
the
contaminants
of
full
flood
water,
so
the
ASTM
standards
gonna
try
to
make
that
a
little
better.
But
for
now
I
can
tell
you
closed
cells
kind
of
your
best
bet.
If
you
can
go
uninsulated,
that's
probably
better
again
the
more
places
where
water
can
get
trapped
behind
and
create
an
issue
for
you.
The
more
issues
you're
gonna
have
with
tear
out
and
clean
out
later
on.
G
G
G
N
G
That
that's
the
issue
is,
it
becomes
like
you've
got
a
flood
resistant
material
on
a
flood
resistant
material,
but
it's
like
vinyl
flooring
over
plywood,
both
are
flood
resistant,
but
the
plywood
is
is
attached
to
the
to
the
vinyl
flooring.
You
have
to
take
the
plywood
off
to
let
the
wood
dry,
so
it's
sort
of
it's
sort
of
a
little
bit
of
a
catch-22.
G
It's
almost
like
you
have
to
create
this
a
little
bit
of
a
gap
to
let
it
dry-
or
maybe
you
don't
insulate
at
all,
which
I
know
is
not
a
popular
option,
but
that
I
mean
that's
the
best
material
if
they've
got
as
far
as
what
we
know
on
testing
and
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we
just
don't
have
that
the
testator
really
know.
What's
truly
flood
resistant,
it's
not
a
cut
and
dry
question
either
because
think
about
it.
How
do
you
create
a
flood
sample?
G
That's
replicatable,
and
that
won't
be
a
contamination
issue
when
you
try
to
get
rid
of
it.
Many
creative
people
came
up
with
many
creative
combinations
of
water
and
other
materials
that
I
won't
talk
about,
because
I
eventually
want
to
eat
tonight,
but
you
get
the
idea.
So
so
it's
it's
just
it's
not
a
done
deal
in
terms
of
the
test
standard
flow
cells.
The
best
we've
got
ideally
an
open
situation
where
you
can
let
some
of
that
freely
get,
and
then
the
IR
will
get
more
likely
to
join
more
quickly
might
be
a
better
option.
G
N
L
F
So,
in
the
case
of
of
any
issue,
whether
it
be
flooding
or
like
a
sewer
backup,
anything
of
that
sort,
I
think
somebody
mentioned
earlier.
No,
but
oftentimes
people
don't
make
the
best
decisions
when
they're
stressed
out.
So
a
lot
of
these
types
of
companies
that
you
may
have
to
reach
out
to
for
mold
mitigation
or
water,
and
that
sort
of
thing
can
maybe
take
advantage
of
you
during
those
difficult
times,
and
so
what
is
the
best
strategy?
F
I
mean
if
you
have
flood
insurance
or
or
home
insurance,
and
you
have
those
types
of
issues
with
a
rider.
Do
you
first
like
immediately
just
try
to
get
a
hold
of
the
insurance
and
then
they'll
try
to
coordinate
the
appropriate
people?
You
know
or
or
do
you
you
just
try
to
address
it
as
quickly
as
you
can
and
just
kind
of
deal
with
the
costs
later
and
the
claims
I.
A
Can
address
that
question
so
when
a
customer
calls
me
and
says
I
have
some
kind
of
water
loss.
First
thing
we
try
to
figure
out,
is
you
know,
can
you
shut
off
the
water?
If
it's
something
internal?
If
there's
something
coming
from
the
outside,
you
know,
there's
nothing
really.
You
can
do
about
that.
I
always
recommend.
You
know.
Try
calling
a
couple
different
water
mitigation
companies
and
I
know
what
you're
saying.
Sometimes
they
can
be
a
little
pricey.
A
You
know:
we've
used
people
like
service
fast
to
serve
procureur
first
and
what
there's
a
bunch
of
them,
but
it
is
pretty
expensive
when
they
come
out
with
their
machines
they're
trying
to
dry
out,
you
know
the
wood
they
cut
out,
whatever
is
wet,
then
they
take
out
the
material.
It's
gonna
be
pretty
costly,
but
the
good
thing
is,
and
they
will
normally
take
a
lot
of
photos
for
the
insurance,
so
it
can
help
the
insurance
process.
Now,
hopefully,
it's
a
clean,
that's
covered
right.
F
And
one
of
the
tips
was
move
out
and
try
to
get
stuff
out
of
the
place,
so
I
mean
if
it
is
a
basement
or
a
lower
level
floor.
That's
flooded
and
you're
spend
most
of
your
time.
On
the
second
floor.
You
know
it
could
be
hard
to
get
your
stuff
out,
but
I
mean.
Do
you
try
to
literally
get
like
everything
that
you
could
can
out
of
the
house
or
just
the
stuff?
That's
in
the
in
the
affected
area,
yeah.
F
G
Know
and
that's
the
and
that's
the
thing
like
certain
things
with
cleaning
with
bleach,
that
the
the
flood
restores
will
tell
you
this
and
I'll
admit:
I've
worked
with
many
of
them
and
maybe
I've
drank
their
kool-aid
too
much.
So
maybe,
but
you've
got
to
be
careful
with
bleach.
There's
lots
of
things
bleach
does
great
it's
great
for
your
clothes,
great
for
solid
surfaces,
but
for
certain
types
of
things
bleach
is
not.
G
M
Got
brochures
out
out
there
in
here
that
talk
about
what
to
do
when
disaster
strikes
not
if
was
when,
and
certainly
protecting
whatever
it
takes
to
protect
those
items
and
furnishings
for
further
damage
is
something
you
empower
to
do,
and
we
encourage
you
to
do
that
from
a
State
Corporation
Commission.
Take
pictures
document
keep
documenting
so
that
you
have
notes
and
records
or
what
what
you
have
what's
been
damaged.
Sure.
G
A
G
You
the
longer
it
sits,
particular
water
standing
and
longer
it
sits
the
longer
it's
gonna
wick
up
into
the
surface.
You
know
what
we
typically
tell
people
about
a
foot
above
where
the
flood
line
is,
but
that's
for
the
short
duration,
floodings
you're
dealing
with
here
when
we
were
with
after
Katrina
in
New
Orleans
we're
at
practice.
At
for
six
weeks,
we
were
seeing
wicking
all
the
way
up
from
like
a
two
foot
flood
all
the
way
up
to
the
next
level.
G
L
O
I
would
like
to
address
the
sewage
backups.
We
had
seven
houses
in
a
row
on
a
bright
sunny
day
with
sewage,
backup.
County
was
no
help
whatsoever.
Two
and
a
half
years
ago,
then,
on
July
8th
we
had
we
had
it
again.
Water
came
in,
but
sewage
also
came
in
because
I
think
the
storm
waters
overpowered
the
sewer
system,
and
then
it
came
up.
It's
been
recommended
by
insurance
and
the
county,
and
everybody
get
the
back
water
or
whatever
the
valve.
We
can't
get
anybody
to
come
out
and
even
give
us
an
estimate.
O
L
O
L
G
G
Q
G
It's
just
they
can
get,
they
can
get
clogged
in
a
flood
situation
more
quickly.
I
would
think
the
issue
is
that
you
get
more
sediment,
more
runoff
and
eventually
that
that
gutter
guard
gets
blocked
up
and
the
water
just
now
goes
over
and
now
goes
into
the
the
front
of
your
thing
and
if
you
get
any
negative
draining
and
it's
going
back
to
your
house
so.
G
J
Where
there
are
very
close
to
large
site
plans,
so
where
you
had
permeable
surface
now,
digging
down
three
four
stories:
four
parking
garages
and
other
things
and
not
add,
and
so
you're
getting
more
runoff.
Even
though
residences
and
others,
you
know,
didn't,
have
the
problem
when
they
were
built.
How
do
you
start
addressing
those
things
when
those
types
of
one-off
site
plans
start
getting
approved
without
additional
elements
being
made
to
accommodate
what
was
existing
there
before,
in
essence,
I'm
removing
permeable
land
and
putting
a
concrete
I.
L
L
This
site
plans
are
one
of
them
I'm
not
going
to
over
promise
because
again,
as
I'm
sure,
you've
heard
from
us
a
million
times.
But
it's
a
constraint
that
we
have
is
we're
a
Dillon.
You
know
rule
state,
so
we
only
have
the
authority
that
the
state
has
expressly
granted
to
us
with
development.
It's
somewhat
limited.
L
Everybody
is
looking
at
new
approaches
and,
quite
honestly,
there
are
challenges
that
have
come
up.
I
won't
say
overnight,
but
they've
come
up
quite
suddenly,
so
we're
also
doing
a
risk
assessment
and
management
project
at
the
county,
so
that
is
going
to
enhance
also
what
we're
doing
moving
forward.
So
that
is
one
I
just
asked
that
sorry,
my
allergies,
the
comments,
if
you
I,
don't
want
you.
L
This
was
again
the
purpose
of
this
forum
and
the
sister
forum
on
Saturday
is
to
push
information
out
about
what
you
can
do,
but
we
specifically
put
a
comment
section
on
the
back
of
your
agenda.
We're
going
to
be
reaching
out.
It
is
not
just
going
to
be
pushing
information
out.
It's
going
to
be
bi-directional.
So
if
you
can
give
us
feedback
help
us
make
sure
that
when
we
go
forward
in
our
communications
plan
that
we
are
hitting
the
things
that
are
important,
that
we
are
answering
and
addressing
the
questions.
L
J
I
add
one
more
thing,
because
you
know
I'm
involved
in
another
area,
where
the
zoning
enforcers
were
allowed
to
make
decisions
without
coming
back
that
may
impact
water
retention
where
they
put
it.
You
know
so
I've
had
that
issue
where
the
inspectors
can
make
adjustments
to
a
site
plan
on
their
own
discretion.
You're.
L
Very
timely
because
my
boss
is
sitting
in
the
front
and
he
is
just
put
together
the
framework
for
a
multi
departmental
working
group
that
really
is
going
to
start
cross
cutting
departments
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
were
siloed
and
we
never
talked
to
each
other.
But
this
is
a
whole
new,
much
deeper,
much
more
interactive
discussion
about
stormwater,
so
that
is
going
to
be
happening
as
well
in
very
short
order.
L
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Eileen
very
quickly,
I,
just
personally
and
on
behalf
of
our
our
office,
really
thank
all
the
speakers
tonight.
We're
we're
confronted
with
some
very,
very
large
challenges.
We
have
to
be
creative,
but
it
really
really
helps
to
have
speakers
like
this
that
bring
it
really
just
rich
and
deep
and
diverse
expertise
and
skill
to
this
conversation
so-
and
thank
you
all
for
coming.
B
And
again,
I'll
echo
dimitra's
comments
thanks
for
coming
and
please
do
use
your
comment
forms
you
know
again.
This
is
part
of
a
broader
strategy,
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
other
events
and
interactive
engagement,
forums
and
workshops.
So
if
there's
other
information
that
would
be
useful,
please
share
that,
and
several
of
us
will
also
be
around
the
library
does
close
at
9:00,
but
we
have
some
time
before
then
so,
please
feel
free
if
you,
if
you
want
to
chat
with
us
a
little
bit
more.
So
thank
you.
