During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the integrity of a local dam, particularly in light of actions taken on August 5. A request was made for a utilities representative to hold a press conference to address these issues and provide an accurate status update on the dam's safety and design.
It was emphasized that the dam was not originally designed for flood control, yet its current design has the potential to exacerbate flooding, posing significant risks to public safety. The discussion highlighted the need for proper management to mitigate these risks.
As the meeting progressed, the chair encouraged public participation, noting that several individuals who had signed up to speak were not present. The chair suggested calling out the names of these speakers to ensure their voices were acknowledged, despite their absence.
The meeting concluded without further public comments, leaving the community awaiting more information on the dam's status and the proposed press conference.
