Attorney Currens sent a letter on July 30th about outside storage had to be enclosed in a fenced area and they were not to be working outside that fenced area. Forklifts are excluded from the zoning ordinance. Mr. Butrum said Carter Lee had not been using the water truck like they said they would.

Jeff Allen appeared before the council sayingt was his understanding he was not going to be on the agenda because he had talked with Attorney Currens and Tim has called DNR to see what they were going to do. Tim Currens walked the area today to see the problems. Rain and water events have been very out of the ordinary. This is not one same problem but several different problems. If relief is provided on the front end of the water it presents problems on down. Sherry Butcher, 1010 Edgewood and surrounding neighbors spoke. This is the second time Sherry Butcher's house has been flooded. FEMA helped them the first time. Right behind her house is a creek. They have to go to a hotel or a friend's house to stay. She said the water comes down County Line and the creek is not wide enough to put the water down the storm drain. Council President Mark Harris said a lot of the flooding issues are on private property and this is frustrating to the council. Attorney Currens wants to come to their hoarse and look at the problems. The Town does not own the easement. IPL has the easement. Mr. Currens wants to find out if they are wet lands. He will check county records to see who owns, whereto call and where to go to get something done. Gary Taft, 960 Edgewood Drive said he had lived there 32 years and no one has cleaned out the ditch. Insurance won't cover surface water. His carpet and laminate floor gets ruined every year with the flooding. Mike Skinner, 974 Edgewood, said there was fiveTeet of water there. This year it got up into his house.
