Legislative History
Res No. 15-25 - Established a Formal Storm Water Work Policy; 3/3/2015
22-0049 - Private Property Storm Water Policy discussion; 5/24/22
Purpose & Explanation
In December 2021, City Council identified a desire to evaluate and update the City’s policy for storm water related work, and to possibly resolve large issues on residential private property. As a result, an Ad Hoc Storm Water Committee which included both City Council members and City staff was appointed to review and update the policy.
The Ad Hoc Committee met on January 19, 2022, and March 10, 2022 to discuss the existing private property storm water policy, proposed goals of the new policy and potential implications of a new policy that would allow the City to perform storm water related work to resolve on-going, significant flood mitigation projects on private properties. Based upon the discussions with the Ad Hoc Committee, the attached 2022 Storm Water Policy was developed, presented to City Council and will replace the former Policy that was adopted in 2015.
Staff also developed a concept budget spreadsheet and timeline for implementation of future storm water projects on private property. If the policy is approved, these projects will be further evaluated and scheduled in the upcoming 2023-2027 Five Year Capital Budget for consideration by Council.
