Minutes of Last Meeting: Lewis/Durant, approved as printed.
Lewis: Presented a short history and accomplishments of the AACC.
Terry Robertson, Sherry Warren, and James Warren, Jr.: Seek to resolve a
flooding issue with a drainage ditch behind the homes on Honeysuckle Lane in
the Argyle Forest East Village. The City of Jacksonville has not cleaned the
ditch in many years. They are concerned that the construction of the I-295
Collector Distributer and and later development on Parramore Road will
exacerbate the flooding.
Treasurer’s Report: $282.26/$14.74 = $297.00
Thomas Martin: The bill requesting the change of the zoning of 7710 Shindler
Drive from residential to commercial neighborhood has been changed to
planned unit development. This change will require the process to start over.
Kevin Kuzel: Lead a discussion on Storm-water Management. We have had
greater than normal amount of rain this summer with ditch cleaning constrained
by budget issues and the Public Works prioritized ditch cleaning based on
historic flooding.
Councilman Jim Love: Discussion on the following items:
• Budget meetings with the Sheriff and Fire chief,
• Police and Fire Pension Plan,
• Supervisor of Elections facility,
• Town Hell Meeting on 7710 Shindler Drive rezoning,
• Proposed Bill Board changes.
Adjourned: Draper/Durant, 9:38 pm
