Bay View Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic is calling for restitution for residents and business owners in Bay View who lost thousands of dollars. When asked about restitution, Shafer said the district is focused on the fix first.

 Right now we just want to try fix it and we'll see what happens with that, so I don't know that answer,  Shafer said.

For Festo, who has called for accountability for nearly a year, the announcement is a step in the right direction - but she said flood victims need more.

 This didn't just happen, and we cleaned up for it, and we walked away; our life has been impacted by these events every single day, and I don't know to what end it will stop for us,  Festo said.
