"Don't Call Us, We'll Call You?"/Is this enough?
(A letter from the village)
Mallard Point Residents:
At the March 3rd Board meeting the Village Board directed staff to begin working on the outflow of the detention basin in Mallard Point. The Public Works Staff began this work on March 4th and continues on a daily basis to clear the flow area and monitor the basin level, as well as monitoring the increased flow affect on downstream areas.
Since March 4th the level of the detention basis has decreased approximately 1-1/2 inches. Please keep in mind that the work is being performed gradually so that the basin level and the down stream areas can be monitored. Staff continues to clear and monitor on a daily basis. At this time no action is needed nor scheduled at the Board meeting of March 17th as the process of outflow clearing and basin level monitoring remains ongoing.
-----------
If they are only going to lower the level of the pond by 1 1/2 inches every couple of weeks then we could certainly argue that it could be done faster. Didn't they say it was 18" too deep? At that rate it would be months before they get it back to the correct level. Is this the end of their help? What kind of monitoring system is in place? It says on a daily basis. What EXACTLY are they doing daily? As someone who lives near the pond, I can honestly say (though I do not watch the area 24/7) that I have not seen village vehicles DAILY.

Mr. Quimbley is waiting for the election to pass before letting us have it with the SSA. No one on the board will do anything until after the election, it would be political suicide.
