Interview Highlights
April 1 is your self-imposed deadline, but you have 93 places that you consider level one, your highest priority. How will you tackle that?
鈥淪o we鈥檙e going to make as much progress through the mitigation projects as we can, and we鈥檒l use that April 1 date as a target and the work will continue for the next several months.鈥�
What鈥檚 your goal with this project?
鈥淚 don鈥檛 think the goal or expectation is that things go back exactly the way they were before. Just because the change as everyone has seen has just been so massive. There鈥檚 going to be much more time for community discussion about really how the creeks should be managed so we reduce future flood potential, and also meet all the other needs that the creeks meet.鈥�
Snow pack in the nearby mountains is at about 140 percent of normal, what does that mean for your efforts?
鈥淲hat it really means is that we collectively have to start paying attention to conditions. Snow melt conditions rain fall conditions and be ready for some potential event that happens.鈥�
