| August 15, 2010 - In an Op Ed piece in the Toledo Blade this morning, Toledo City Councilwoman Lindsey Webb talks about making a concentrated effort to address dike deterioration in Point Place. I point out this article because we are facing some of the same concerns from the same issues and the same floods. We are currently taking an inventory of all the trees, growth and pests settled into our earthen dikes here in Luna Pier. We will be bidding out this job this fall and should see improvements before winter sets in. There are many other concerns that the Shoreline Committee will be addressing in the near future. Give your input at the next Shoreline meeting August 17th at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers. | ![]() |

IMPORTANT: Shoreline Meeting June 29, 2010
June 15, 2010 - From Mayor Liske:
In the last City newsletter I shared information about a possible USDA loan the City was seeking to get funding to deal with asset management of our shoreline facility. In that article, I listed areas that could be addressed with this funding. Unfortunately, I was not detailed enough in my newsletter announcement as I was only intending to inform the public that the shoreline committee was moving forward to address their concerns. That list was generated from the 2001 erosion study, and by consensus of the Shoreline Committee as priority items to be addressed. Now, understand the the list was used to get some ball-park figures to submit for the pre-application. It did not represent anything more than a preliminary draft of ideas. The next stage of the process is a very detailed process that requires architects and engineers to submit detailed plans and scope of work. Before the loan can be approved there must be a public meeting to allow residents to voice their opinions, concerns and ask questions. In order to address the concerns raised by my newsletter article there will be a Shoreline Meeting Tuesday June 29th at 7:00 pm in Council chambers. City engineers Dietrich, Bailey & Associates will be at this meeting to explain the loan process, answer questions about any portion or the work proposed and more. Please plan to attend!
