All right. Okay, hi. Uh greetings to the mayor and to the city council members. Thank you for being here today, and thank you for all that you do to keep us afloat here in Round Rock. My name is Carol Buchart. I live at 4002 Harvey Penick Drive, Round Rock, Texas. I'm a taxpaying homeowner for over nine years now. Um I'm here to tell you about some flooding and erosion problems that we're having. Me and my two neighbors, one's out of town and one's at an HOA meeting to discuss what I'm going to be mentioning here to you. Uh, they are a 4,000 and 4,004 Harvey Penny Drive as well. The back of our properties face the third hold at the Forest Creek golf course on the divide between our properties and the cities of the city's property is a large drainage ditch. The ditch uh falls on the city's property side, so it's their responsibility. There is also a huge underground pipe that feeds the ditch. It must be 36 inches or so in diameter. I was too afraid to get down there to measure it, but I think that's pretty close. We get a tremendous amount of rut off runoff from Forest Creek residents that divert to the ditch. Fortunately, I was able to videotape the flooding and overflow ditch banks on July 5th. And most residents have standing water during heavy rains. We have rushing, fast moving water with water overflowing the ditch banks. Is he playing it? Okay. But it has just gotten crazy. It's been getting progressively worse over the last since I've been there. I've been there nine years, and we've complained about it, but nothing has gotten resolved. But this is the first time there was not lightning, so I went out and I videotaped it up close and personal so you can see what kind of uh problem we're having, and then it scopes down, and you'll see it as it goes down. It's this is descending down this way, and you'll see it come to where it floods down at the bottom. We're having a problem with erosion problems, and we've already had a problem of getting one of the columns that we put along the golf course, those columns uh we had to have it re-jacked up. Um we've had problems with the flat the fast moving water. We've had problems with erosion undermining one of the stone columns. We've had fencing problems.
