City Council allowed audience participation:

Al Caldwell,  stated he has lived there since 1989 and suggested they repair and build up the bank at the big loop that starts at the west side of Cache Creek and comes around behind his house and floods Cache Creek.  This would eliminate 90% of the water that comes through there.  He stated these could be fixed and this study is flawed.
