The Laguna Canyon Flood Mitigation Task Force has recommended working with the California Department of Transportation and the county to reduce flooding in the canyon and downtown, and to warn folks when it is coming.
Councilwoman Verna Rollinger reported three recommendations that included connecting the city to the county's automated flood warning system, increasing the capacity of the flood control channel under Coast Highway and improving drainage along Laguna Canyon Road.
"The task force is looking at improvements — some of which are simple and some not so simple," Rollinger said.
Rollinger was appointed with Councilman Kelly Boyd to work with Planning Commissioner Norm Grossman and the eight-member, council-appointed task force: landscape architect Bob Borthwick; Laguna Canyon businesswoman and resident Susan Hamil; retired county official Eric Jessen; former Temple City Manager Karl Koski; retired engineer William E. Lawson; sculptor and canyon resident Louis Longi; retired civil engineer Carl R. Nelson; and retired U. S. Marine Corps Col. Charles Quilter II.
