property owners each pay a portion of costs to construct flood-control measures to protect individual homes and other structures; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we call upon the Commissioner of the Department of Water Management and the Commissioner of the Department of Buildings to work with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District "of Greater Chicago to explore potential programmatic solutions to address the City's flooding as it relates to individual homes and other structures;' and
