Walsh noted he then experienced <br />flooding in his house and that he has been experiencing difficulty with the insurance company handling <br />the claim. <br />Walsh stated he was successful in getting a stop 'order put on the work but that the order was initially <br />torn down by the builders.

Walsh stated there is still a problem with the drainage <br />and that there is a substantial amount of runoff down into the lake. . <br />Walsh indicated he also is currently having problems with his other neighbor listing their home on the <br />Parade of Homes and not obtaining the appropriate permit. Walsh noted their road is basically a one- <br />way road and cannot handle the traffic that is generated by this event. Walsh expressed dismay that <br />Ron Olson has issued the permit after - the -fact without council approval and that he is unsure why the <br />city is bending over backwards to accommodate this type of behavior. Walsh stated the integrity of the <br />Staff and City Council is at issue and that Ron Olson has usurped his rights as a private citizen and <br />should step down from his position with the City. <br />Walsh stated during his past experiences with the' City, he was required to follow the correct procedure <br />and that Staff should do likewise. <br />White noted that licenses for the Parade of Homes would be discussed later this evening. <br />PAGE 5 of 18 <br />I <br />
