The drainage easement gives the City of Venice access to property needed for future stormwater improvements, but it is not the complete solution for flooding in the area. The council approved financing-related steps for a water reclamation project and adopted a lower surcharge for collecting program recyclables. It also approved a zoning change for properties on Knights Trail Road and began updating city rules requiring milestone inspections for certain condominium and cooperative buildings at least three stories high.
