From the Peanut Gallery

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WLIC Annual Meeting
November 9th
The President asked for questions from the membership:

Mary Florence: Regarding dredging, would KCMO be a contributor to the cost?
     Joe: "There will be a time when there will be a conversation with KC"  "It is on the radar"
Mary Florence: Concerned about road noise emanating from the new bridge and lack of a sound barrier.
     Joe: It is possible there could be less noise...the result is unknown.

Marsha Peters: Who owns the property between Old Amity and the New Amity, and what is going to happen to it?
     Joe: KCMO owns the piece between the WLIC owned "bean field and the roadway.  It is possible KCMO may not want the property after construction is completed...opportunity?

Barb Brooks:  What is the status of the seawall @ U Cove?
     Joe:  Yes the seawall has "settled".  They have consulted engineers on potential "fixes".  As to why the seawall is settling Joe responded the the "technology has progressed" in construction methods since the seawall was constructed.

Frank Conforte:  Concerned about the volume and flow of water after the last 50 year rain (he supplied video of the last rampage to the WLIC).
     Joe:  This led to a discussion by Joe of the potential use of the bean field including the construction of a gabian wall in the creek next to the field.  In reference to the bean field Joe responded, "we don't know what we have" pointing out there needs to be plan and time line after all the construction is completed.
