CURRENT DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER BOARDS
1. Plan Commission Stormwater-Drainage
New Albany Code 54.04 USE OF DRAINAGE FEES--NON-REVERTING FUND ESTABLISHED

(B) Controller shall place all fees collected under this chapter in a special non-reverting DRAINAGE FUND for purposes set forth in (A).
(C) The Drainage Advisory Committee shall....
Freedom Of Speech would like to ask the City Plan Commission:
*What is the drainage plans-enforcement?
* Who are the advisory committee-members?
* Where are the fees deposited?
* And in what fund?
2. NEW ALBANY FLOOD CONTROL BOARD
IC 36-9-29-2 (1) construct or install the flood control works necessary to exclude, divert, remove, reduce, or prevent flood waters caused by the overflowing of watercourses or by storm or surface waters in or about a flood control district established under this chapter
Freedom Of Speech would like to ask the New Albany Flood Control Board:
* What is your Board Salaries- Staff Salaries-Your Responsibility?
3. CITY COUNCIL DRAINAGE BOARD
New Albany City Council
Drainage Committee--9 Council Members
4. NEW STORM WATER BOARD (To Be Formed)
* How can a new board be approved without the knowledge of the actions and authority of the current drainage and flood water boards?
Freedom Of Speech would also like to know:
* Can the taxpayers afford the cost of 4 Drainage Boards?
* Why does the Mayor want us to establish and to pay a 4th Drainage Board?
* Are these current Boards doing their job now?
Freedom Of Speech is outraged to find out about all these other "paid" Drainage Boards.
We would also like to know why the Garner Adminstration won't come clean and start telling the taxpayers the truth?
And just how many "damn paychecks" do you need Mr. Mayor?
