Argued the canal is a platted county watershed that Swiftmud historically dredged, criticized the city's inaction, and urged that the old city hall site be returned to a stormwater basin rather than used for a new police station or housing.

Argued a moral obligation outweighs the legal opinion on canal dredging, noted the old city hall flooded in 1972 and that Lake Largo once covered the site, and urged restoring it to wetlands.
