Two residents raised stormwater concerns during the public‑comment period and asked the city for follow up on localized flooding and neighborhood recovery work.

Maria Hardwick of Hazeltyne Drive thanked the city for cleanup after Tropical Storm Milton and asked whether anything had been done to address flooding in front of the country club and coordination with the homeowners association. The mayor replied the city manager would meet with Hardwick and that the city has reviewed and is investing in major stormwater systems, including long‑planned work on the West High Bank side of the city and actions in the area near DeBary Plantation and 1792, but that the public meeting was not the setting for detailed negotiations.

Resident Nick Covell described a recurring problem with a retention pond serving Toronto and Alexander Woods (near Adelaide Street). He told council the pond is clogged with grass and debris and that two inlet pipes feed the pond; at the northwest corner a sluice box discharges to James' Pond, which is served by a pump station. "Every time that's blocked up and we have a heavy rain, the aprons of my driveway and along Adelaide Street are completely flooded," Covell said, adding he feared erosion undermining pavement. He asked the city to research ownership and maintenance responsibility; staff earlier believed the pond belonged to a homeowners association but Covell said records show it does not.

The mayor said the city manager has heard the concerns and would move forward as appropriate; Covell asked that if the pond is not owned by a homeowners association the city research and notify the owner to maintain it. No formal action was taken at the meeting; the city indicated staff follow‑up would occur.
