Cascade City Council is drowning in
discussions of the tennis court and drainage problems at the Community Park!
Though an hour long, the late
August meeting discussion left me exasperated and not a lot wiser. It featured
much head shaking by Mr. Rausch and eyeball rolling by the city administrator.
A citizen, Dick Atchison, repeatedly suggested
moving the excess water to the west, which nobody bothered to point out won’t
work—if that’s what they did think! You can’t run water uphill, unless you install
a sump pump, which is v. costly.
Somebody should have said, “Look,
that won’t work or it costs too much, or we don’t care to do anything till the
rest of the issues are solved." Or whatever.
Wonder of wonders: Terry Gravel
appeared at the early Sept. meeting and told them there isn’t enough fall there
to put in drainage tile. So they will try to move part of a berm and make some
other slight adjustments, but there you have the wages of the sin of building
anything where Mother Nature decides she wants to drain water.
