Denari approached the Council regarding capital improvements to Sulphur Branch drainage. Mr. Denari stated that although his property is well above the 100 -year flood plain, he shares a social consciousness and concern for his fellow neigh - bors whose homes are subject to 100, 200 or 300 -year floods within one year. Mr. Denari stated that the flood control at Sulphur Branch must be imperative to the City Council and made priority number one on the Capital Improvement Projects list. He stated that 38 homes were in the flood plaint area of Sulphur Branch, and that the flooding is causing acute hardships and stress on its residents. Mr. Denari suggested to the Council that Sulphur Branch improve- ments be put before the citizens when the bond issue is put forth, because he believes Euless citizens will support the project.
