"The earth is warming. There's El Nino coming. We're just worried that this is going to happen again," Cwirko-Godycki said.Mayor Amourence Lee says she supports much of what city residents are asking for. She and other members of the council are considering an $8 a month stormwater fee to help raise funds."I'm committed to working with the entire council and all community stakeholders that have a vested interest in solving this and really building out sustainable infrastructure," Lee said.
For many people in attendance Monday night, though, that proposal isn't enough. They say they want solutions, and they want them now. "Yes, they have some measures on the table, but we think it's too little too slow," Cwirko-Godycki said.
