''\ The meeting was opened for public comment. Donna Jones, 4729 Ponderosa, they abut the construction that is just being completed. The contractor should be stopped from working until he can do site containment. She hasn't seen the water truck for the last two weeks, until today. Last summer they were forced to put in a 6' high privacy fence to replace their 4' fence because of the dirt and dust, at a cost of over $3,000. She had to throw away her patio cushions because she couldn't clean them any more. Last summer while mowing the lawn, the dust was coming up as she was riding the rider mower. Shortly after that she couldn't catch her breath. and couldn't get enough oxygen into her lungs. She feels that people doing the construction need to do an adequate containment of dust and dirt. Faye Jones, 4729 Ponderosa, when he goes to mow the lawn he has to wear a face mask. This morning when he walked out to shut his water off, just walking through the grass where the water had been his tennis shoes were filthy with mud. One day last week a new family moved in next door to them, and washed their blinds. The blinds were filthy with dirt and dust just after the dust storm and they had to redo them. He gets to where he can't breath; even in his house; it is terrible. Dorothy Christensen, 1045 Concord, they are not in the direct line of that dust. A week ago Saturday, because of the wind, while looking out her window she couldn't see the homes in the subdivision. They were buried in dirt. It needs to be watered down on a regular basis. Darns Ellis, 13561 N. Hawthorne Road, Larry R Seams of the Department of Environmental Quality came by today and cited a couple of builders. It was a dust bowl on the week end caused by some of the another builder. He has tried to keep water on the holes that he is working on. They are trying to control the dust by the water. There are eight other builders building there. ,.
