• The drainage channel at the Municipal Complex worked properly and during the most intense part of the storm there was about two inches of water running through the channel. The Public Safety and City Hall/Library building did not suffer any damage. The tree that was relocated on the site is doing fine and was not affected by the storm. A skeleton crew is on site today and full operations will resume tomorrow (Aug. 29).
