The county indicates it is focused on addressing issues raised by individual property owners, rather than taking a more comprehensive approach, as requested by Mayor Bhalla last week.
The city is concerned that if these issues are not quickly addressed, future substantial rainfall will result in significant negative impacts in areas not typically prone to flooding.
