Citizen Comment
Greg Kelly, 1510 River Road, McHenry, explained that there is flooding on the I.D.N.R. property along Wegner Road. He distributed photographs and explained the detention basin on Iron Mike’s condominium development has crested and there is no natural outfall of water from it. He believes the isolated wetland has been filled in by the developer and adjacent land owner.
Engineer Rooney responded by distributing a map depicting the area in question and explained the water drains from four areas and he believes the I.D.N.R. is partly responsible for this flooding problem since two thirds of the water comes from McHenry County and the I.D.N.R. He feels there has been excavation on the I.D.N.R. property and a ditch would solve the problem.
Acting Pro Tem President McIntyre suggested the parties involved research this problem and come to a resolution.
AT& T Presentation of Project Lightspeed
Mark Blakeman, Regional Vice President of External Affairs for AT&T distributed a packet before giving a brief presentation of Project Lightspeed.
