Farmer tells Harrah council silt from Harrah Road sewer project is damaging produce business

Local producer and resident Jeff Brzozowski told the Harrah City Council on June 5 that construction work on a sewer project along Harrah Road and White Turkey Creek is proceeding without silt fence and is depositing silt on his property.

Brzozowski said the sewer project is majorly impacting his produce business and could harm other businesses along the project's path. He asked the acting City Manager to push the contractor to install silt fencing and suggested the contractor work nights and weekends to finish more quickly.

Brzozowski also told the council that the city’s fireworks ordinance does not match state regulations and asked for an update on franchise fees. City Clerk Tina Rodriguez told him she would send a franchise fee update. He additionally said that funding for the Harrah Historical Society had been voted on at a June 10, 2024 meeting; the transcript does not provide details about that earlier vote.

The council record does not show an immediate action or formal directive in response to Brzozowski’s complaint beyond the clerk's offer to send a franchise-fee update; the transcript does not record whether staff agreed to press the contractor to install silt controls or to change work schedules.
