FAIRFIELD - A group of Fairfield residents plan to seek an injunction to stop all development until the city address the flooding issue.

The action comes three days before a planned meeting Saturday between residents and consultants the city hired to address the issue.

"We've got to do what we've got to do," said Tami Todd, a Banker Drive resident who is co-chairing the citizens group.

"Everything the city did back then (during similar floods in 1979) they're doing again. They put Band-Aids on it."

The group, called Fairfield Flood Victims 6/14, agreed Tuesday to seek the injunction after deciding not to file a class-action lawsuit against the city at this time, citing the cost.

A request for an injunction won't be filed until the group establishes a bank account and begins receiving donations, Todd said. The June 14-15 storms caused damage to nearly 100 Fairfield homes, with damage estimated at $1.5 million.

Meanwhile, consultants will meet with residents from 8:30-11 a.m., Saturday, at Fire Station Two, 6540 Dixie Highway. They will listen to personal accounts of what happened during the June floods and tell them how the study will be conducted, said City Manager Art Pizaano.
