Councilwoman Perry read the following statements concerning Resolution 5, 2015 from the Redevelopment Commission: September 12015 Resolution #5 - 2015' The Indiana Street /Ditch Committee received information that funds were being made available to them for their project and should include the recent flooding from July of this year The Committee has worked for two years to obtain funding to secure a Preliminary Engineer Report to submit to various funding opportunities, including the MPO. The Committee met and Agreed to include the recent flooding issues experience by many in July of this year. Among those present was a representative from Banning Engineering who was selected by the Committee to go forward with a quote for the PER report. That report was due to be presented at our next meeting In our packet for this evenings meeting is Resolution #5 from the Redevelopment Commission signed by Harold Gutzwiller. In that document there is no mention of the Indiana Street /Ditch Project being part of that funding. The Committee believes they were misled when they were told the funds would include their project. We have been told there was "intent ". I have never signed a contract In my life based on intent. Therefore, the Committee has notified the engineering firm that the Indiana Street /Ditch project is not part of any PER and they have been provided a copy of the Resolution in question. We also have notified the grant writer of the exclusion. This is a move forward to those who suffered from the recent flooding and they should be looking forward to a resolution soon to their flooding issues. The Resolution just does not, at this time, include the much awaited Indiana Street /Ditch Project funding as promised.
