Goal 4: Desirable Place to Live, Work, and Recreate
Executive Summary:
Staff seeks concurrence from City Council on the attached, proposed text amendments to Section 23-3.2 of the Stormwater Control Ordinance. Section 23-3.2 consist of the City's Drainage Assistance Program.
The proposed amendments were presented at the Council Stormwater Committee meeting on February 9, 2023 and March 9, 2023. The amendments gained consensus form the committee members and approved to move forward on consent at a Council Regular Meeting. The proposed amendments were also presented to the Stormwater Advisory Board (SWAB) at the April 4, 2023 meeting.
Normally, recommendations from advisory committees go to a work session for discussion. In this case, staff deemed the changes to be not significant enough to warrant a full work session item to discuss. However, if the Council so chooses either because they disagree or as a matter of procedural precedence, we will push this item to a future work session.
Background:
The City's Drainage Assistance Program Ordinance was enacted in 2019 and set forth the criteria and circumstances by which Stormwater Enterprise Funds may be used for drainage assistance projects located outside of city-owned rights-of-way.
At the request of the City Council Stormwater Committee members, staff reviewed the Drainage Assistance Program Ordinance with a focus on the eligibility requirements for inclusion in the program. Review and discussion of the Ordinance took place at the December '22, January '23, February '23, and March '23 monthly Council Stormwater Committee meetings.
