thank you that's all I something well done I'm going to say but one thing I want to say he's not here today I see leaning over on on East Avenue if they fall man we're out it's only a couple of them so I was going to say to him like a tag on each one that need to be knock down I know it's BMW but they don't do anything they come down there and they they cure their side but I would like to see them take care the opposite side because as a lower and a row trees in there waiting for a good wind like we had a couple weeks ago you know we saw a lot of stuff rooted up out of the ground and the tree is still laying there now because there's too much water in the back of my place where that tree is laying um so I guess I saw the guys come out they was going to cut it but they'd be walking in mud and stuff like that it's right by the drain so they waiting I guess for it to dry up other than I'm thankful for the street clean and um I'm looking for a good Springtime yes sir than to you thank youbody else from the public wish to speak this evening Johnson stand I'll make a motion to close the public portion second I have a motion second fav stay I think she was trying to get up she wasn't do you have something to say Miss Johnson you tell yeah I'll table the motion at this point all right motion is to table come forward man yes absolutely don't be shy I know I know I why I was wondering why you waiting back here that's all right I tried to get up but then you it's always good to see you I want to be disrespectful never are hello my name is Dian Johnson two1 High Street and I talked to Miss Miller about the water um I don't know if they would have check it out or what but when it rains it gets slowly flooded in that in that space where the um tore down the building very very blooded and now all that W is coming in my yard so I don't know have a chance to look at that I haven't looked at that talking about Clark verify as far as the slopes place there I understand they're supposed to come out and stabilize it and can seed it so they can grow but they got to make sure the GRS work first they put and I um I was telling um Miss Miller you you have to come while you can't come later because it decid so fast you won't get a chance to see it but when it rains and it gets so flooded all the is coming out out into the road I mean that's not a problem but the problem is that my yard I took pictures my yard get flooded because that you know because of that so I don't know if because the building not there or because it um not right I don't know but my yard is very flooded when it rains especially when it rains rain rains and continue to rain I think to Mark's Point Mr Johnson once we get out there and look at it they'll see it that might help it so it's just not the right there cuz I did share the pictures with them so they I pictur no I shared it with yes my next question is I know nothing do about it now but when I was in the library parking lot um this older lady was looking for the looking for the library and I showed her what the library were and go over try to find her a parking spot but I couldn't find her she parked in the library the old library she she walking with a walker she's an older baby and she had to walk all the way from the library across the street into L Library I think that's a shame I really do because there's nowhere for her to park at where where did they Park is gone so where do she park at where you P the park there is a lot like CER right on High Street or main street directly across almost directly across the street from where the new library is on Main Street right there where right next to where where the bus station is right next to where the bus station or the bus stop is right there University pizza places that used to be yeah but if if if there not no there more coret there and you can't you can't you can't park there then they got to walk I mean I just think it's the same for the older for the older for the seniors don't matter to me I walk out all the time but for the seniors I think it's really a shame that they have to park so far and to walk with a walker or a cane to get to the library and across the street help across the street like that so that's all that's it thank you thank you very much make I have a motion in a second fav St I opposed extensions motion carries the public
