CITY MANAGER REPORT
The City Manager, on behalf of the City and City staff, expressed empathy/sympathy to citizens
due to the flooding of property over the rainfall that occurred on July 7, 2015. It was reported
that a little over 5" of rain fell within a 3 hour period. According to the National Weather
Service, the rainfall was greater than a 100 -year storm event.
Rick Murphy, City Engineer, explained the operation of the floodwall and how the pump
stations work together to try to keep areas within the City from flooding.
Mr. Pederson reported the last time a storm water study was completed was in 1989; several
projects were completed. He recommends that it is time for the City to commit to a new process
of assessing the City's system and developing a plan including a strategy for upgrades. He also
suggested that the City create an advisory committee to look into the process and make
recommendations to the Commission about adopting a plan to increase the system's capability.
EMS Director Jerome Mansfield informed the public that the Mayor and Judge Executive
declared an emergency to exist after the flooding occurred and submitted it to the Kentucky
Emergency Management Division. There is a possibility that the City could work with the Small
Business Administration to see if there are enough homeowners and businesses with losses for
the U.S. Small Business Administration to consider funding in the form of low interest loans.
The City will waive fees to collect flood damaged items placed at the curbside. If citizens have
already paid to remove items the City will reimburse them if they have a receipt. Permit fees
will also be waived for renovations to homes or businesses due to damage caused by the
flooding.
Mayor Kaler stated that the City will have an updated stormwater plan and will work to
help citizens any way they can.
