Resident input and timing: - Maple Run HOA President Barbara Robinson and resident Travis McCarthy spoke during the meeting, urging approval and noting long-standing flooding problems that limit residents’ ability to use streets and front yards during immediate rainfall. - City staff said the contract award will allow immediate mobilization; work timelines and construction phasing will be set by the contract and communicated to residents.
