Solution to flooding proposed by engineer
Metzger appointed to Zone 3A board
By ARI SOGLIN
I-T Staff Writer
Jim Metzger took his first splash in the field of flood control 52 years ago.
That was when, fresh out of the University of Nebraska, he became an engineer with the U.S. Forest Service in the Cornhusker state.
He later worked in Colorado, Turkey, Amman Jordan, Japan, India and south America.
While Metzger, 79, now officially is retired in Sonoma, he has not turned away from flooding. And his interest rose with the rain water last winter.
"We need to start flood control in the hills," he said at a Sonoma City Council meeting a month after the flooding. "We should delay the flow, rather than hasten it."
