Said the Carpenter and Congress flooding problem dates to old clay pipes from the city's 1900 West End expansion and that Mount Zion is being asked to do the city's sewer work at its own expense.

Said subsidence has recurred three times and keeps resetting their construction progress; thanked the mayor and staff by name and asked for a clear next step.

Detailed the site's drainage saga: an unmapped Congress Street drain pipe, a missing brick in the tunnel, a capped ten-inch pipe, and the city's refusal to pay or offer floodgates; said she can't get callbacks from public works.

Said it's upsetting that businesses got immediate flood help while the city's heritage site struggles, called the treatment of Ada Woodson heartbreaking, and noted nobody told them about the flood barrier program.
