MUNICIPAL LAW: Maintenance of drainage system held discretionary

The Superior Court grants the City’s motion for summary judgment as to negligence.  The claims for property damage by 15 businesses arose out of 2005 flooding allegedly due to the City’s failure to maintain and clear clogs from its drainage system.  The Court finds that the maintenance of the drainage system was a discretionary governmental activity and that the defendants were entitled to governmental immunity.
