Body
Legislative History
None.
Purpose & Explanation
The City has long maintained an agreement with SWCD administratively. The agreement is amended periodically. This year SWCD has asked that this process be formalized by adoption of a resolution approved by Council.
The agreement has been revised to correlate more directly with the terms of the NPDES Phase II Municipal Storm Water Permit, but the City's obligations remain largely unaffected.
The appropriation is approximately $1,900 for the educational component of the permit and is budgeted out of the Public Works storm water budget.
