7:30 p.m. A moment of silent prayer was observed.
2.
Darrell Collins presented Mike Foley, concerned citizen, to
the NAC who addressed the committee on stevenson Creek. He
spoke of the channelization of the stevenson Creek by the city
of Clearwater and the affect that it has had on the
environment and the homeowners who live around it. As to the
environment he stated that the channelization of the creek bed
with concrete has caused the water quality to suffer and thus
reduced the number of fish that live in the water. He also
stated that plant life has also suffered because of this. As
to flooding, Mr. Foley stated that the city has been reluctant
to provide him with information about the number of homeowners
whose homes flood in heavy rains. He stated that city design
of the project has added to reasons the homes along the creek
flood. Mr. Foley closed with saying "We have valuable water
systems down here". They need to be protected; already in
deteriorating state and need the maximum amount of protection.

3. Darrell Collins presented Bill Baker, city of Clearwater
Public works Director, to the NAC who addressed the committee
on the City's view of the stevenson's Creek Project. In
response to Mr. Foleys accusations, Mr. Baker stated that the
channelization of stevenson's Creek had no significant adverse
impact on the environment. He noted if the project had not
been completed, the mouth of the creek would have been
severely impacted because the silt from the creek would have
accumulated in the mouth of the creek. He stated that the city
had already removed 13,000 tons of silt from the area prior to
channelization. He noted that some plant habitat may have been
affected by the project but the returns outnumbered the
decrease. As to flooding, Mr. Baker stated that flooding only

affects 88 buildings along the creek. He also stated that he
has provided this information to Mr. Foley. Mr. Baker stated
to do the project the most prudent way would be for the city
to purchase 104 homes along the creek and widen the creek to
provide for natural flooding to occur with hardlining the
creek beds. However, the cost for doing this is estimated at
21 million dollars. In closing Mr. Baker stated that the first
phase channelization project has had a positive impact on the
area by reducing erosion and flooding.
Rudy Miller made a motion that the NAC take no action on the
stevenson Creek Project. Motion died for lack of second.
However, it was suggested by Fred Infinger that Mike Foley and
Ralph Linn present their concerns about stevenson's Creek to
the city commission as concerned citizens, but not with NAC
support.
5. Fred Infinger made a motion that the NAC will go on record as
stating that they will be willing to use as much Block Grant
money as can be found to see that the project was done right
to meet all Environmental regulations. Cherry Harris seconded
motion. Motion Carried.
